An Eggcellent Holiday

We missed our annual Bunny Breakfast this year (because I forgot to sign up in time) so I tried to come up with a Plan B that didn't involve just "going to the mall". I found a free event at a local outdoor mall (Ok so we did go to a mall, but you'll see this was actually cool) where we could meet the Easter Bunny on a trolley. After standing in line for about 45 minutes, we had our turn to take the trolley for a spin around the parking lot and get our picture with the Bunny. The boys thought the trolley was really neat and were excited that the Bunny was traveling with us too. We had a mix of emotions during our picture: one happy, one horrified, and one completely apathetic.

A week later, the Easter Bunny dropped off some sweet gifts. A bunny, bathtub ball, and musical pods for Charlotte. A castle block set, bubbles, Legends of the Guardian movie, Octonauts book, candy and bugs for Wyatt (some of their eggs had bugs instead of candy, hah!) And a Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Superman vs Batman, Transformers book, Transylvania movie, Dino Dig activity kit, bubbles, candy, and bugs for Noah.

Please ignore the inappropriate Halloween pajamas

The boys really liked the Rock 'em Sock 'em game. It was a big hit!

 There was also some quick growing capsule animals, which Noah and Wyatt enjoyed a few days later

We did Easter at my dad's again. The kid's received a boatload of additional toys and candy, played at the local park since it was a beautiful day, and played a little pin the tail on the bunny. We also discovered that Noah is boss at that game (and no, I don't think he cheated).

We tried to get a nice family shot outside.  Shocking absolutely nobody, it was impossible to get all five of us looking at the camera at the same time.

This one came out the best

And as tradition dictates, we went out for Giordano's for Easter dinner

Eggs

I am happy to be able to share this year's egg decorating festivities as last year's photos were sadly deleted from existence before I could save them to any device. The boys each colored three eggs (we don't go too crazy with it since nobody really eats hard-boiled eggs). Wyatt tried to drop his in carefully, but two of his eggs did get a bit cracked.

Because someone couldn't stop themselves from sticking their fingers into the cups...

Miss CeCe can't wait to get some green fingers next year as well

7 Months

And then in March, Charlotte turned seven months old.

Only a couple of weeks after she learned to army crawl, she decided to jump right in to regular crawling. When she started school on her seven month birthday, I was told that she was crawling all over her new baby friends that were a month or two older than her.

She started sitting up in her swing, so we had to discontinue using that

Two weeks after we finally got her sleeping in her crib we had to lower the crib since she could potentially pull herself up

She really started getting into babbling and loved to babble up a storm of da da das

Mommy and me picture the day before she started school for the first time

She almost immediately caught a virus at school and had to use Wyatt's nebulizer for a few days

But she recovered nicely

Next step, standing!
