Busy Weekend

We did some serious Spring cleaning this weekend. We made our Home Depot trip and Target trip, yard work and lots of house work! Of course we fit in some baking too!


On our Home Depot trip William wanted to do everything Michael did!


Maren LOVES her Daddy time!



This weekend was all about DAD. Michael was out cutting the grass and William wanted to do the same thing. Michael let him help cut some weeds and then William instructed Michael how to use the weed eater. Michael obliged and twisted and turned the weed eater as William watched from afar.

After the yard work William bowled a little bit and Maren watched his every move!

Changing Maren's diapers has become quite an adventure. She rolls over and sits up in the bat of an eye. This is what I usually end up with...

She loves to go straight for the wipes! This is the face I get when I fuss and get her to sit still...

Now that Maren is completely mobile she is into everything. She doesn't want to be left out of anything. She was exploring every inch of the kitchen while we were baking this weekend.

Maren caught a glimpse of her bottle in the dishwasher as I was unloading. She tried and tried to get it out. Her determination was something to see! (We're in trouble!)

We had 2 long days and William tried to convince us that he wasn't tired both days. Maren also fought her sleep, but thankfully they both eventually passed out!

William did all his chores and cleaned his toy room. He decided he wanted to put his sleeping bag in his toy room and nap in there. We don't care where he naps as long as it happens!

He found this old belt in his room while he was cleaning. He wanted to immediately put it on and he wore it all day. He wasn't happy that I made him take it off when he got dressed for bed.

As all of you know- we are a baking family! Michael tackled an apple pie this weekend. It turned out great!

My favorite is the picture of Maren peeking over the dishwasher door. Too cute!!!

P.S. Michael, feel free to try your baking experiments on the Dinsmore family. By the way, the cheescake was awesome....that's saying alot for someone who doesn't even like cheescake!
