Neighborhood Easter Party

Petting zoo, trackless train, egg hunt, and more - what a fun day!

 

Bluebonnets

Bluebonnets were not spectacular this year and we missed the boat on the best of what there were, but I managed to get a few pics with some of the stragglers.

Chicken Poopin Eggs

2B sent a little Easter fun our way!  It has become one of the boys' favorite rewards for getting their #2s in the potty on time.  Hey, whatever it takes to keep this potty "train" on track!

Mason Accessorizes

All of these birthday parties lately have yielded many new "treasures" with which to accessorize...

So Many Birthday Parties

We have had a lot of birthday parties lately - so many cupcakes...so much icing...

Mason Sings the Spanish Colors Song

This kid loves to sing...and in Spanish too!

Nap time

Naps are always taken in separate rooms, or else no one sleeps.  Here is Mason in the pack-n-play in the guest room and Ethan in his crib.  I don't know how they are comfortable enough to sleep with all of those toys and stuffed animals in their bed.

Big Boy Swings

We have moved up to the big boy swings at the park

Reading With Grandma

Ethan's 1st Big Boy Underwear!

Tonight we took a family shopping trip to Target to buy Ethan's first big boy underwear. He of course chose Cars and Diego underwear and was very excited to try them on to make sure they fit!

Baby Dolls

The boys taking good care of their babies (well, except that they don't have car seats for their babies too...)

Ethan's 1st Girlfriend?

Today we went to a birthday party at a bouncy house for one of the boys in class at our preschool. At the birthday party one of the girls from class (Elia) was holding Ethan's hand and leading him to different bouncy stations. Her mom said that she calls Ethan her boyfriend. They sure do start young these days!!

Ethan Sick :(

Poor Ethan is sick and has a fever today :(  Washcloth on the head, sore throat lollipop, plus some Diego on TV to help him feel better!

Ethan

Ethan just felt like having his photo taken today!

Days of the Week & Counting to 30

The boys have learned a few songs for days of the week and months of the year.  This days of the week song is one they learned at school.



 And with a little help and prompting Mason can count up to 30.

Tricycles

The tricycles have been parked in the garage for a while now, but today while I was at the grocery store, Brett decided to dust them off and remove the parent-assist handles. He took them over to the basketball court across the street and gave the boys some coaching on how to pedal and steer. They picked it up quickly! And then they realized how fun it is to crash into each other on their tricycles. We have been meaning to get some helmets...and this is the extra push we needed to get that taken care of!

 

And birthday parties are so tiring...

Birthday parties are so fun!

The boys have definitely gotten to the age when they can anticipate something, look forward to it, and get excited about it. This week they were so excited about our friend Andrew's birthday party. They couldn't wait to go to the bouncy house, to have cake, to give Andrew his present and to get their party favors. They had a great time!
