Easterish Happenings

One day Easton and I painted an Easter basket full of eggs with potato stamps.  He had fun learning about mixing colors.  This was the best picture I could get. Reminds me of the "Up" dogs.  Squirrel!


Wednesday we had a play date with Desi and her niece and nephew.  It was great.

Callan and Clover livin it up at Del Taco.

 After lunch we went to Desi's house to make rice krispy nests.  As usual, the boys really didn't care much about my craft.  But I thought it was delicious.

After that, Aunties came over to help us color eggs.  We used the Kool-Aid method which wasn't great - but it worked.  And it smelled wonderful, especially compared to vinegar.


Easton had a blast doing egg hunts in the backyard.  That night when he went outside to bring the eggs in, he suddenly HAD to know what was inside the eggs and started smashing them all.  He was so intrigued with the boiled eggs.  I guess he's never seen one before.



Callan played in the sandbox.  He loves it there.  I'll post more pictures of the sandbox we built once we get the garden in and stuff.


And here's our Easter bunny.  We got Bella for Easter four years ago!  She's pretty fun.  She has enjoyed having the whole backyard to herself for the last few weeks.  That is, until it randomly snowed today.  


Also, just wanted to write this down for memories: This morning I woke up and came downstairs and the boys had gotten paint brushes and dipped into Tyson's bowl of mushroom soup that he left out and painted EVERYTHING in mushroom soup.  Lovely.

Modesty


Dear Genie in a Bottle {you know who you are},

My three year old son has pointed out (in less delicate terms) that your lady parts are hanging out on national television.  While they are lovely, would you please consider putting them away?

Thanks,
A mom who is IN FOR IT in a few short years.

New Addition

The other day on the way to church Easton asked me, "Mom, would you like to have a girl baby?"  I told him, "yes.....but not for a while?" I wondered if he knew something I didn't:)

Thankfully, and contrary to Katelin's April Fools Facebook post, we aren't expecting any more {human} babies for quite a while.  But we are doing something I never ever thought I would do.

We're getting a dog!

I know it's so weird.  I've never had a dog and never expected to have a dog.  But I guess if you have boys, you are depriving them of some kind of birthright if you don't have a dog.  Wouldn't want to do that.  After a few months, Tyson found the perfect parents for our puppy.  The mom dog's owner is so cute.  She put together a Facebook page to keep in contact during the birth of the puppies.  It was so exciting to keep track of all the puppies being born!

All the puppies and our favorites: yellow & green.


The puppies were born 2 weeks ago on March 18th.  We finally went to go see them today and it was so much fun!







Ya they're cute.  I'm somewhat excited.  Although there is dog hair on my computer right now from my jacket and the above picture was taken right before the puppy pooped all over Tyson.  Not sure how I'm feeling about all that.
