Better Hop To It

Now that our house is no longer under a two week quarantine (why does it seem like we always get a bad illness in March), I am back with an Easter update. Just in time, since Easter is less than a week away. Two weekends ago (while some of us were still recuperating) we had our annual breakfast with the bunny across the street.

Everything was going swell until the bunny walked in (unannounced I might add) and sat a mere twenty feet from Wyatt. I managed to quickly get my camera out so I could capture his reaction.

Noah had a similar reaction when he was one, although he was just a tad braver if you recall:

After breakfast and after Wyatt stopped shaking from the horrifying white rabbit, the kids did a little egg hunt. Noah was told to only pick up ten eggs. He counted them out perfectly and stopped when he reached ten. I was so proud!

Wyatt just grabbed at Easter grass at first. Then he collected some eggs for his basket and later stole some eggs from another baby's basket.

V-Day

Noah was required to decorate a valentines box this year for his class party. To prep, I wrapped the box in some heart paper and cut a hole in the top. Then I unleashed him to decorate as he chose with an assortment of stickers and glitter pens (I did help him make a few glitter hearts to balance out the glitter blobs that he had made). He really enjoys getting creative and crafty.

For the Valentines this year, I went with a fish theme. The card was downloaded from the internet and then we just added goldfish crackers. Noah was a big help, he opened the bags and put the card in and then I filled a handful of crackers in each.

The boys also enjoyed getting their Valentines treats from mommy on V-day morning. Noah got a little ice cream truck puzzle, a valentines cup, colored pencils, M&Ms, and chocolate kisses. Wyatt got a valentines plate, valentines socks, and M&Ms. I found cute Valentine's robot bags for their little goodies.

Winter Storm Linus

We finally got a really good snow fall earlier this month. We woke to beautiful snow-covered trees in our yard.

 

Unfortunately, there was one casulty from all the heavy snow - we finally lost our little cherry tree in the backyard. After the drought a couple years ago, it stopped producing cherries and it's branches had started to die off. It was also leaning pretty heavily. It had a fitting send-off though. The entire family was standing at the back door watching the snow when a sudden gust of wind blew the tree over. So long little tree. 

We lucked out that the snowstorm came on a weekend so we were all able to go out and enjoy it.
