To Infinity ... and Beyond!

Bedtime.  It happens every night.  And it is always challenging fun with two little boys.  There's chasing, grabbing, brushing, pulling, yelling, screaming, laughing.   The process seems to have gotten longer as the kids have gotten older.  More procrastination.  More "one more times."  But we try to make it fun.  Hence, the invention of the "PJ Monster."  Brian IS the PJ Monster.  

And when the PJ monster attacks, nobody is safe.

But the kids LOOOOOVE it.  Especially when the PJ monster turns and attacks Mommy.  It is sooooo funny. 

But at the end of it all ... pajamas are on and kids are smiling.  My two little Buzz Lightyears.
  

But Mason knows that now it's time to brush teeth and the fun is about to end for another night. 

If only the "brush teeth" monster was as much fun.    :)

Spring Fever!

We had a fabulous first weekend of Spring, enjoying temperatures in the 70's.  After a long and snowy winter, nobody was more ready for Spring than the Lochhead family!  While Brian got to play golf, we spent Saturday morning with Kara, Lance, Ella and Celia Fujita at Burke Lake Park.  Here is a picture of Owen and Celia on a seal (?)

Saturday afternoon was our neighborhood Easter party.  Tons of kids turned out because the weather was so great.  It was a nice practice run for our own Easter festivities in about 2 weeks!   Here is Owen getting the egg hunt instructions, listening intently and plotting his strategy ...

Ready, Set, GO!  Owen is off ... 

Look at that basket overflowing!  Owen told me that he got extra eggs to share with Mason.  Who could argue with that?  Although we did give some of our eggs to a couple of the younger kids who didn't get as many.  And Owen didn't mind one bit (that's my boy!)

Mason helped Owen go through his eggs and find all of the goodies...

And was very happy that Owen shared with him... 

The kids played other games and Mason was determined to be in the thick of things.   Here he is conducting or at least he thought he was conducting a game of "Coke, Sprite, Fanta."  Yeah, we've never heard of it before either! 

I think the Lochheads are really going to enjoy this Spring.  

Rub a Dub Dub ...

Mason's in the tub!

We were having a lot of fun in the bath the other night making mohawks and we kind of liked the look for Mason. Can you see it in his future? Or maybe a faux hawk? I think he would rock it! Here are some adorable pics of Mason sporting his 'hawk!
