Easter and other happenings!

This is a common place for both Dylan and Tyson at various times during the day. They both love to play in the water, and for some reason it drives me crazy. May have to do with the big wet mess and two soaking wet boys.

I wanted to take the boys to an Easter egg hunt so bad on Saturday, but I am a wimp when it comes to freezing, blowing snow, so we had our own and they loved it.
Tyson was so funny, he couldn't really figure out what was going on. There were eggs everywhere and he was a little bewildered as to where they came from. He kind of just walked around with a confused look on his face, after a while he got into it.

Thanks to Grandma for their cute Easter outfits, Tyson was not having the photo session, this was the best I got of my little bunnies.

The bunny cake was a tradition in my house growing up. I had to carry on with it. The boys loved it, neither of them like cake, but they had a good time making a mess.

If you take a close look at Tyson's mouth he was telling Dylan, "No touchy, no touchy."

A few days ago Dylan took a pretty good spill and slid across the floor on his upper lip. His lip was so huge, seriously worst fat lip I have ever seen.

That would be Tyson dancing on the counter in the back.

The wind has been blowing so bad and crazy lately, it drives me crazy. I hate to go out in it and the boys have been sick so I got out some long drawing paper and traced out their bodies. They loved it, especially Dylan. He saw it done on Sid the Science Kid on PBS, so he was totally into it.

You can see his fat lip a little better.

This kept everyone busy for quite a while.

Dylan has learned to write his name, I am so proud of him. I have been asking him if he would like to learn how to write his name and he has always said no. I didn't want to pressure him, I knew he would do it when he was ready. One night a couple of weeks ago, right before bed he said he wanted to right his name. I was leery at first, you know right before bed, tempers are short, attention spans even shorter. But I said ok, I wish I would have taken a picture. I wrote his name out a couple of times, we practiced writing the letters one at a time and then put them all together. He did it seriously in about 15 minutes, I couldn't believe it. I guess when you put your mind to it, you can do anything.

I didn't get Tyson's whole body out lined, he couldn't hold still long enough. He had fun coloring on the paper and wall with his crayons.

The finished product.

We have a good time together during day.
