A Day in the Life . . . Sunday!

Let's do a "Day in the Life" for this Sunday!  Lincoln and Beau were hand in hand on the way to Sunday School this morning, and the wind was blowing their (too long) hair like crazy.  It was so sweet to see them loving to hold hands.  The lesson today was about Zacchaeus, and everyone loved the story.  Beau got to crash the 4 year old class because Mommy was teaching.  We taught the other kids the song, "Zacchaeus was a wee little man," and everyone loved it!
We needed omelets (Mommy and Daddy) and waffles (Lincoln and Beau) from Cindi's after church, and it was delicious.  The boys played so well together in the afternoon.  They really liked listening to the stories from their new Disney reader.  It is always cute when they enjoy the same activity and actually get along! 
Lincoln and Beau love the daffodils they see along our running trail, and they always admire how sunny and yellow they are.  Nana brought them their own batch of sunny and yellow daffodils, and it made their day!!!  Actually, it made Mommy's day too! 
After an afternoon movie rest (Daddy and Beau watched a movie on the couch in the office, and Mommy and Linc watched Clifford on the iPad in the living room), they created a spectacular castle!  Lincoln was so proud to pose with the castle, and Beau was being a bit of a feisty 3 year old and refused to cooperate!  He was happy to show me the superhero figures that were well guarded deep inside the castle.  They actually built in several layers of protection for their figures, and they kept telling me it was super awesome!  Agreed! 
We had a wonderful Sunday dinner of baked salmon and roasted potatoes/peppers/onions.  The boys actually liked the wild Coho salmon, and that was a great dinner for all.  While we were cooking, we heard Lincoln yelling from the playroom that he was making it rain money . . . so it's not like we listen to rap music these days, but we are pretty sure that is there is a rap video reference about "making it rain" with lots of dollar bills floating down.  They definitely made it rain with their play dollars, and the didn't even know they were participating in a pop culture moment!  Wouldn't it be nice if we could actually make it rain money?!?! 
We made whoopee pies for dessert out of a sprinkle cake mix, chocolate icing, and spring colored sprinkles.  Lincoln ate his whoopee pie in just a few minutes, but Beau really took his time and savored his treat for over 30 minutes!!!  He always said he was still working on it when asked it he was ready to be done.  So glad they enjoyed their dessert! 
This Sunday was super fun for all!  To recap:  church, brunch, playing, rest, playing, dinner, playing, dessert, playing, and finally clean-up and bedtime.  They definitely liked clean up the playroom part the least, and we might need new money to make it rain (Daddy got a little carried away with throwing away stuff!), but it was a great day indeed.  Monday, here we come!
