Our Sunday Best

Noah received his First Communion in May. It was a gorgeous day and he looked super handsome in his suit. I went ahead and bought one for Wyatt too since they would need it again the following week.







Noah and his Godmother, Ashley. Godfather Kurt was ill and could not make it.


I forgot to get a picture of the communion squares, but luckily a friend took a picture with her son so I could see what it looked like. Noah's is top row, fifth from the left.


Proud little sister



The following week it was time to dress up again - this time for my cousin Doug's wedding. The kids had never been to a wedding before and they were excited that they were able to come with us.





The wedding was at a restaurant in the city. For part of the time, Wyatt amused himself by standing behind the window curtain and trying to get people walking by to look at him.



The kids were very well behaved during the wedding and dinner.







Charlotte adores her uncle and enjoyed some dancing with him after dinner.

Mother Son Dance

Our Cub Scout Pack held their very first Mother Son Dance in April. It was a camping theme. I forgot they weren't serving food, so we arrived hungry. Noah must have been starving. He never eats cake (including his own birthday cake) and he had two cupcakes at the dance.




Wyatt's favorite part of the dance was chasing around the balloons and hitting them back and forth to keep them from falling.





Afterwards we were famished so we hit up IHOP at 9:30pm. It's okay because that's when you're supposed to eat at IHOP.

Hop Hop

Hopping right into Easter activities. Wyatt's Kindergarten had a party and I showed up with a craft for my table again. I made it much easier than my messy Valentine stamping and just did stick on egg emoji faces. Wyatt and his buddy enjoyed showing me their emoji faces too.





Obligatory egg coloring.




No matter how hard I try to stop it, allergy season always catches up to Noah.


I had to teach them this trick.



We did the egg hunt at the landscape company again this year. I like this one best because it's not a race to see how many eggs you get, which for my non-aggressive kids usually means little to none. Here, everyone gets the same number.


And we can also check off an Easter Bunny visit at the same time.



Later that day was Easter at my dad's. By this point it had turned into a beautiful day so Uncle Kurt and Emily entertained the kids outside with bubbles and games.



Perfect timing this year to see the front tree in bloom.



Welcome to Easter morning. The Easter Bunny brought Wyatt a Bumblebee pedal go-kart, a hatching raptor egg, and a Frog and Toad book. Noah received an Osmo game, wolf-em stick for camp fires, his very own Echo device, and a draw it yourself book. Charlotte got a bean bag chair, little pink bear, camp out clothes and sleeping bag for her doll, flashlight, an LOL doll, and silverware.






 



Wyatt convinced dad to assemble his go kart on the spot.



Since we didn't have any plans on Easter, we took our bikes out for a spin.




Dinner was, of course, Giordano's. Auntie KK joined us this year.
