Lars was gone for a few days the past 2 weeks. The first trip was his annual fishing trip with his friends in Idaho. He left early on Thursday and got home late Saturday night. They had a great time and caught lots of fish. I think I would have frozen my toes off if I would have gone. Not that I was invited ;)
But even he said his toes were frozen!
Then last week he left on Wednesday afternoon and drove to Vegas with a couple friends to watch the Aggies play in the basketball tournament. Actually let's be honest...he went mostly to play poker!
He quickly realized that it might not be a good idea in the future to take two half weeks off in a row...a little stressful when you come back to work!
So while he was away it was the boys and me...
I really don't mind being home alone with them most of the time. We had fun!
The first Saturday after we slept in, we got up and had a late breakfast then decided to head over to the school playground and ended up staying for close to 3 hours. They found a few friends there and had lots of fun playing on the swings & slides, playing soccer and throwing the football around.
I love this picture I caught of Gunnar & his cute shadow :)
He absolutely LOVES soccer!!
And this one of both of them.
How did they get this big??
I so treasure times like this we these boys...most days they would rather play with friends, so I love when I get to spend time with them :)
Nice to have Lars home later that night though!

Love them and their crazy clothes :)
On Sunday we went to church, then came home and I asked them if they wanted to do a Lego project I had found online.
Fun Lego candy dispensers :)
So we went downstairs and started digging through all of their Legos trying to find the specific pieces it required. Well we learned quickly that it is way easier to do a Lego project when all of the pieces are separated nicely into little bags for you! We never could find some of the pieces, but that kind of made it more fun to have to improvise and see that we could still make them work and then they each turned out different and unique. It took us close to two hours, and of course there were some fights between them, but it was so fun for me and in the end they loved their projects and couldn't stop talking about them and couldn't wait to show Lars when he got home.
I had gotten some little packs of mini m&m's for Easter, but I pulled them out early so they could put them in the dispensers and try them out.
They worked great! So fun :)
Ashton's on the right...never did get a picture of him with it.I so treasure times like this we these boys...most days they would rather play with friends, so I love when I get to spend time with them :)
