Easter!

Due to our chaos of moving to Japan next month...Easter wasn't quite as festive as I usually like to make it. So I didn't get my Spring flowers planted or my fun decorations up.

But we did manage to color eggs, homemade even! We delivered the basket with time to spare.

Vinegar, food coloring and water! ta da!

Gabe got a special box from his Aunt Jean with pirate eggs galore!

Every year I make crepes for Easter. I invited my family over for crepes on Saturday and then made them again Easter morning at our friends' house. Shortly after we hid the kids (or the dads did) and let the kids go on an Easter egg hunt.

I would have to say despite not getting it all done the way I would have liked, it turned out to be the best Easter yet!

Spring!

I have a few pictures left to share but my camera is broken for a bit....I hope I can get it fixed soon or whatever :( It's so depressing. Grrr.

Coloring the Easter eggs!

It's been a great Spring! I hope the weather stays nice and not too hot! We lots more stuff planned. I hope we get a camera soon. I'll probably just buy a disposable and then when I do get a camera I'll take pics of those pics and put them up soon.

More April Pics and Updates!

Where did April go? No idea. All I know is it's still cold, cold, cold and rainy. I want more sunshine and temps of 70s...sigh.

It's been a good month. Gabe has really taken off too! He loves puzzles. I had some old puzzles from when I was a kid and brought them out for him and he's been figuring them out and doing them on his own. Crazy. He's putting a lot more two-word phrases together as well and understanding so much more. He's just so fun to watch and play with.

Here's some more zany pics!

Our little pirate!

I was painting mine and he wanted his done too!

Gabe got in his stuffed animal box and Archie piled them all in around him. It was so cute and fun!

Easter was so fun this year with Gabe. He even helped color the eggs!

He thought it would be fun to get inside his blocks bag! Then he got stuck!

Archie's helping him out.
