Only a day late, not bad. I was going to try to get it done last night (gasp, three posts in one day) but I decided to go out and Easter shop for the kids. I think I'm all done getting the goodies to fill up their baskets.
1. Miss C is so excited for Easter. We've been having "practice" Easter egg hunts in the living room. My job is to hide the eggs and her job is to peek while I'm hiding them and then run around and find them. It's so cute. She's going to love the hunt we will do in our backyard on Sunday.
2. We went to our neighborhood Easter egg hunt last weekend. I think the kids were a little overwhelmed. There were a ton of people there and I don't think they like the large crowds.
Here she is getting ready for the hunt still with that, "I'm not so sure about this look"
Once they got started, they were ok
Miss C even posed with the easter bunny.
And finally a picture of the family. Of course we couldn't have everyone happy. You can just forget that.
3. After the hunt, we headed to a b-day party. I didn't take too many pics there, but here is Miss C and her friends (G + K) enjoying what every kid basically goes to a b-day party for (the cupcakes!).
4. Another pic of Little J on the bicycle.
5. Miss C has been really big into role play lately. We seem to "reenact" the same things over and over and over again. Right now she has been focused on the dentist. I'm not sure why this is. I guess the trip there a couple of months ago was a little more traumatic than I thought. She keeps asking when each of us have to go back to the dentist. She knows I'm April, she's August and Little J is next May (when he's 3). Anyway, her favorite is to walk into the waiting room and have me ask who she is and what time is her appointment. Then I'm supposed to tell her to go have a seat in the waiting room. A few moments later, I'm supposed to call her name. In her mind, she is supposed to ignore the call like she didn't hear me. It's so funny because she giggles the whole time. Then she finally comes for her appointment and the "lady" has to check her teeth first and then the dentist. She just loves this game.
She also loves to play teacher. The other day she set up court and read to one of her kitties.
6. Little J is all about Monkey See Monkey Do. He watches his sister and then does everything she does. It's funny to her now, but being an older sister I know it's not going to be cute for long. My little sister used to do that all the time. Drove me nuts.
7. We managed to have one nice day last week and did a little painting.
She was showing me she got paint all over her finger. She wanted to immediately wipe it off (like it was bothering her). Never mind it was all over her clothes. Wonder why that didn't bother her?
8. I've picked of knitting here and there again. I like to do it at night sometimes (it really keeps me out of the kitchen). Anyway, Miss C told me she wanted to knit too. So I gave her two needles and some yarn. This is what knitting is to her (just threading one needle through the ball of yarn):
Miss C has really started to crack herself up lately. She loves telling silly stories or saying silly words and then laughing at herself. Kind of like she's the funniest thing in the world. I just love that about her. What a great quality to be able to laugh at yourself :)
She's also been into emotions too. She constantly asks to see my happy face, my sad face, my angry face, etc. This is her surprised face:
9. If your wondering why 99% of this post is about Miss C, it's because Little J was in one bad mood this past week. I didn't dare piss him off further by sticking a camera in his face. I'm not sure what the problem was, but as of this morning he is back to normal (well as normal as Little J is). Thank goodness. I was about to go crazy with all the whining.
10. Here's my 52 week shot. This is how I feel sometimes. I was trying to tell Miss C to look "sneaky" as she was putting it on my back. I guess it got a little lost in translation. It always seems to be like this. PS--she made the letters by herself:
Happy Tuesday, er Wednesday!
