Runs in the Family

 

 

Those gorgeous blue eyes!

Water Boys

 

 

The Little One gets some playtime in at the Charlotte kid’s museum (technically it’s in a suburb of Charlotte, but he doesn’t care). Daddy took them out while Momma and Erin went to IKEA. A good day was had by all!

Strawberry Fields – Easter Part III

 

Part of our Easter weekend including picking strawberries. The Little One sat in the dirt and explored strawberries – their color, their smell, their texture, and more importantly their taste. They are soft enough to mash between his gums and too big to choke on. All in all, they were well received by the little one.

Baskets! – Easter Part IV

 

 

The boys are “opening” their baskets. We don’t do big, fancy, extravagant things, but a few toys and other useful items. The big hit of the Big One's bucket were the 35-cent plastic animals I found in the party favor section.

 

The Little One likes his new rattle, but isn’t too keen on the sippy cup. We may need to wait a month or so for that…

 

Egg Dyeing – Easter Part II

This was the Big One’s first year dyeing Easter eggs. Momma thought that the traditional style egg dyeing might be a little boring – all that waiting for colors, and it’s hard to do anything cool. So Momma put food dye into muffin tins so that it was easy to switch eggs around and make interesting layers. 

  Corbin seemed to enjoy watching the process.

The eggs turned out fantastic. Not entirely sure where the horizontal lines came from, but those aside, the eggs are gorgeous. Momma might be biased…

Makin’ Music

 

The Little One is enjoying his maracas at the Children’s Museum. He doesn’t get too much out of it yet, other than amazing visual and aural simulation, and the occasional toy to put in his mouth.

Egg Hunt – Easter Part I

 

We took the Big One for an Easter Egg Hunt at our church. The day starts with the Easter story, and then picking up many, many eggs filled with jelly beans and tootsie rolls. Corbin didn’t quite grasp all the fun, but Momma wore him around for the hour and they got lots of cuddles in! It was a wonderful start to Easter weekend, and Momma is glad to start it with the Easter story.

Playground Focus

 

 

The Big One is exploring a new playground in Charlotte. He ran around, burning off the boundless energy all two year olds have. He is fearless, but knows his boundaries. Momma loves watching him play!
