Easter

Here are my little guys having a "shirts off party" and coloring eggs.  (One day Ty came up to Justin and took his shirt off and said, "Let's have a shirts off party, Daddy!"  Ever since then, they randomly have "shirts off parties" which basically equates to doing normal activities...just shirtless.  Just the boys, of course....)

Notice my little lefty.  Both of them show a preference for their left hand, but Dallas exclusively writes with his left hand.

The take

The saga of the Easter pictures...

All week I had envisioned how I was going to get such great pictures of the boys in their Easter clothes out by the pretty purple flowers in our front yard.  So Easter morning, I made sure to leave a few extra minutes before leaving for church for my photo shoot.  Perhaps it was the candy they had for breakfast, but they really weren't in the mood to sit still and smile, so after about 10 minutes of, "Stand still," "Face this way,", "Dallas, SMILE," "Quit picking the flowers," "The sun's in my eyes," etc, etc, etc... these two pictures are the best ones I got.  Still good, but not what I had envisioned.  But what can you do with two preschoolers all hopped up on chocolate??  I should also mention that Justin was literally turning cartwheels behind me trying to get the boys to smile.  They didn't find it as entertaining as I'm sure the people driving by on 600 N did.
