Easter Activites!

These are pictures of our Easter projects. The first one is a papier-mache egg and I am sorry that it is sideways. I always forget that I need to turn it before I put it on here. I gotta learn how to do that.... For now you will just have to bare with me and kindly tilt your head to the side. This activity we did with our friends Nancy and her cute son, Gabe. It was a fun activity but it was messy, time consuming, and definitely not one, two, and three year old friendly. However, we did persever! Thanks Nancy for being a trooper!!! The next thing I did was make marshmallows and poured them into egg shaped molds. Marshmallows are easy to make and so I was not paying very close attention and yup! I sure did burn the heck right out of them. The ones I made into egg shapes got pawed off on my on my poor unfortunate family. Sorry family. The other monstrosity that you see in the picture is what was left over. We took a couple brave bites out of it and then tossed it. Next year we will just do sugar cookies and call it good.

Sam's Birthday!!!

Sam had two birthday cakes this year. The first one was up at my parents house with all the aunts, uncles, and cousins that live up there. It is the Costco cake with the unbelievably huge mounds of frosting balloons on top. Does anyone honestly eat that who is over the age of two? Yuck! I guess it looked exciting though because that is the cake Sam picked out, although if you look at the pictures you would sure think that Seth is more excited about the cake than Sam is. Seth started taking bites out of it while I was cutting it. I guess that is paybacks for Seth cake on his birthday. It was a lot of fun though. Sam finally understands the concept of a birthday and was really excited for his. The other cake we had for Sam was a frog and I made that after we got home and he and Seth ate that one while we talked to Lincon's family online.

This is a picture of Seth wearing Lincon's thongs. He loves putting on all of our shoes. I always think it is so funny watching him try to walk in my high heels. Here he put on the shoes because he wanted to go outside.
