The last few weeks in pictures

I finally got all the pictures uploaded on a computer so figured I would update while my boys are sleeping. We are in between BBQ's (the weather is that nice here) and saying more goodbyes.

This is Chase's last day of preschool. They had an Easter party before the long break. I was hoping to get a cute picture in front of the school or something but it never goes as planned.  Here he is giving his teachers a thank you gift. 

Having an egg hunt outside.

We got to go with some friends for a very special tour of the fire station on base. I love how he is plugging his ears - not sure what to expect. Some of the kids got the spray the hose and all the kids got to go on a ride.

 All our stuff in boxes. Hopefully it will arrive in the states before too long!

My last wives social. It was a Royal Wedding theme so we all had to dress up and wear hats! Going to miss all the excitement here next Friday. As of now I plan on getting up and watching it but we will see. Might be a little tired from everything.

The next night a group of us girls from church went to a nice dinner and a show in Bury. We saw Beauty and the Beast. Wasn't quite the same level as Wicked but still very good!

Yesterday we hung out one last time with some good friends from our village. Chase and Charlie were in the same preschool and us moms got along as well. It is so nice to have someone close to switch off watching kids or to meet at the park or whatever. Hope it won't take 2 years to find that again in our new neighborhood.

A while back we cooked them a good ol' American steak and potatoes dinner. So they returned the favor by cooking some delicious Indian food. I had to strategically place myself so I couldn't see the snake during dinner. When I was outside the snakes came out. Chase loves seeing it and always asks every time we go over. I hate them but is glad that he doesn't seem to be afraid.

 

As we were driving to their place Chase kept asking to go home and see ner-ner (Wagner). He really has been a trooper for not understanding why so many things are different right now.

Had a small egg hunt in the back garden. Here the kids checking out their loot.

Trying to keep busy in our one room apt. with almost all the toys shipped. We've watched a lot of Thomas and Lightning lately. Here dad was trying to get Chase into Angry Birds.

Not sure about the Easter bunny.

And another egg hunt. He hasn't gotten tired of these yet :)

Another couple days and we will be back in the states. I am really dreading the flight and everything that goes with it. Not sure how we are going to lug 5 large suitcases, several carry-ons, a car seat, a toddler, a dog and dog crate to the check in but somehow we will manage.
