Decorating Cookies and Egg Dying

What a busy weekend we've had so far! We started it out on Friday night making cookies and dying eggs! Dylan decorated a few cookies, and then got bored. Egg dying was a whole different story though...he loved it! Here he is decorating some cookies for me.
He's showing me the frosting that he's using to decorate the cookies.
Livvy decided it was much easier to eat the cookies, rather than decorate them. That's my kind of thinking!
After decorating cookies, we moved on to the very messy task of dying eggs. Did I mention that I had just had my carpets cleaned Friday morning and the house will be on the market on Monday? No worries though, Windex gets out any blue dye that may have spilled...twice!Dylan loved dying eggs. He kept asking to do 'mo, mo, mo.' (more.) Here he is so proud of his blue egg!

Here's a video of him dying eggs. You can see he tried to used the egg dipper, but it sure isn't kid friendly. It was much easier to use his hands. The dye stained his hands a bluish green and he looked like he had smurf hands for 2 days!

Sweet Livvy was in a very loving mood after the excitment was over. Here she is loving on Dylan.

And here she is loving on Buddy. Doesn't Buddy look thrilled. He was so tired and just wanted everyone to leave!

Thank you cookie!!!

One of my friends made her famous & fabulous sugar cookies for Easter and shared some with me. Here's a short video of Dylan saying Thank You Cookie! You see a little bit of his attitude at the end also. :)

Easter Egg Hunt at Delmar Gardens

We went to visit Scott's Grandma and enjoy an Easter Egg hunt at Delmar Gardens last weekend. Here's Dylan and Livvy waiting for the Easter Egg hunt to begin. I love how Dylan is wearing his basket like a purse!

Here's Scott and Dylan checking out the prizes in the eggs!

They had lots of games and things to do, like pony rides. Dylan would only look at the ponies though. When we tried to get him to ride one, he started throwing a kicking, screaming tantrum. So, here he is watching the ponies.
Here's PaPa, MaMa, Dylan and Livvy with the Easter Bunny. Neither kid was too excited about the idea of sitting next to the bunny!

Braden's 4th birthday!

Braden turns 4 tomorrow...Happy Birthday Braden! We went to his house tonight for birthday dinner. Braden's mom, Jennifer, had a surprise up her sleeve! She had arranged for a firetruck to stop by so the boys could get a quick tour. Here's the birthday boy driving the firetruck!

Dylan hadn't quite warmed up to everyone yet, and was being quite crabby when the firetruck arrived. Here's Dylan and Scott standing by some of the controls. Dylan definitely has a crabby face in this picture! It's extremely possible he was yelling "No!" at me!

Here's our family in front of the firetruck. The firemen were so nice and gave all the boys fireman hats. Dylan was excited about his hat...but still not too excited about the firetruck.

Big surprise...my monkey cheered up for cake time! This child has a MAJOR sweet tooth. Just like his mom!

Owen and Dylan

Owen came over to play with us on Friday night. I just thought the boys looked cute shoving their faces with ice cream and cookies!

Cute Story!

So, the other day I was washing the dishes and Dylan was watching Thomas the Train. I heard him come into the kitchen and open the fridge, but didn't think twice about it. He usually gets out a piece of cheese or something like that. I didn't even look back to check on what he was getting out of the fridge. (I know, bad mommy.) He went back to the living room, where I thought he was just eating his cheese. Then he came into the kitchen and took the minute rice box out of the pantry. Rice is one of his favorites. This sparked my curiosity, so I peeked in on him to see what he was doing. He had taken the A1 sauce out of the fridge, figured out how to open it an poured some on his plate. Then he poured the un-cooked minute rice into a bowl. He was dipping the un-cooked minute rice into the A-1 sauce and eating it. Totally normal. I should have gotten a picture, but I couldn't stop laughing!

Sugar Hangover!
