HAPPY EARTH DAY!!!!

R.I.P On April 21st, 2008 baby Timmy passed in his home surrounded by his loved ones. He is survived by his "mommy" Ms. Jenevive Thornton his mean ,terrible Uncle Jimmy and his loving grandparents. Arrangements will be handled by the Roseville garbage collectors on Tuesday April 28th.

This is what happens when your little brother gets a hold of your dolls. Jimmy tore the head off and pulled the stuffing out of poor baby Timmy's head. After many long minutes of crying, the only words that came out of Jen's mouth were "can I get another doll tomorrow?".

I love the smell of Play-Doh!!!!! I think every parent gets a little excited when their child plays with it for the first time as they open the container at nose level. I remember when Jenna got her first set, Jim and I couldn't wait to get our hands in it. Finally an excuse to play with it again. Both of my kids love it, and its funny to watch them play with the same sets we had. Jimmy likes to make "snakes" with the extruder (I looked that one up on the Play-Doh site) and Jen likes to use the barber shop set. It never fails, all of the colors get mixed together at the end. Just another excuse to buy more.

Happy Easter from the Thornton's!!! We hope you had a great holiday. The kids had a full day with baskets and hidden eggs from the bunny, Easter brunch with the Doptis side of the family and an egg hunt and dessert at Aunt Julie's house.

This year was a little easier with Jimmy being almost 3. He was able to gently put the egg into the dye as opposed to just dumping it in and getting it everywhere. Every year we just get the simple dye kit promising next time we'll get the fancy ones with glitter paint , dye tie and sand art. I just don't have the patience or the want of all the mess,but with the kids getting older it seems like the want to be more creative then just putting the egg in the dye for 30 seconds and letting them dry. So, next year it will be glitter, sand, stickers and puff paint........maybe.
