Easter 2012

Connor was pretty excited to look for Easter eggs, especially once he figured out that there was always something to eat inside! This first picture cracks me up... I was trying to take his picture, but he kept looking down and holding his egg by his legs, so I told him to hold his egg up so I could see it. Well, I can certainly see it now! haha!

 Grandpa and Gammy scheduled a dumptruck to drop off some rock while we were there, so Connor got to see it dump it out. He was amazed!

 He loves his sister! He sits down next to her sometimes and says, "Mama, Kate loves me and I love her." (Insert tears here)
 At Nonnie and Papa's. Aubrey and Connor are READY to find those eggs!


We had a great Easter! Connor is so cute when you ask him what Easter is about. He says, "God's Son." And we say, who is God's son? And he says, "Jesus!!" It is amazing to think that God sent his son, Jesus, to live a sinless life here on Earth, die for us and our sins on a cross, and then God raised Him from the dead 3 days later! We really are blessed. Of course explaining all of that to a 2 year old when we ask what is Easter about is somewhat difficult, so we will stick with God's son for now! haha

Fun activity

Yesterday was a pretty busy day. Kate had her 4 month doctor's appointment (she is in the 25th% for weight and 50th% for height), we stopped by grandpa's work to feed kate and then headed to meijer. Connor ended up never falling asleep for his nap, and Kate missed her first nap.
Needless to say, we decided to stay home today and not miss any naps!!
While Connor was reading his new Tag Reader books - he LOVES them - and Kate was napping, I was looking on pinterest (Yes, I have finally given in to the peer pressure and joined) and found this super cute activity to do with Connor. I didn't have a dropper, which would have made it much easier, but we managed.
You put vinegar in a cup with some food coloring and drop it into a pan with baking soda in it. It gets fuzzy and bubbles up. He thought it was AMAZING!!

Laughing

You know those moments when you think, "My life couldn't get any better"? This video is an example of one of those moments for me.
