Happy Easter!

Nolan was certainly excited about Easter this year!  He loved the "Easter Eggs," and he liked seeing what was in the Easter basket, and in the Easter Eggs around the house.

Wrigley enjoyed Easter too, since she shared the treats inside the Easter Eggs.

We went outside and colored with "Egg" chalk!~

We then spent the afternoon at Grandma and Grandpa Hassman's.  Aunt Joyce, Uncle Pat, Aunt Sue, and cousins Sharon, Karen and Brad were also at the festivities.

Nolan had a wonderful time playing outside with his family!

Easter Egg Painting!

Today we painted Easter Eggs with the neighbors.  All I can say is Nolan had so much FUN, and I think he had fun because it was MESSY.  He didn't quite get the concept of being gentle with the Easter Eggs, so he would just plop them in the colored water--and it would go SPLASH everywhere.  Luckily we only lost one egg to the toddler's hands.  

Needless to say we needed a bath after this event--he had the egg coloring all over his arms, face, neck!

But he had FUN and that is all that matters.

Easter Egg Fun!

With Easter just around the corner we decided to take Nolan to see the Easter Bunny, and for an Egg Hunt. He was not so fond of the big bunny, but liked to observe from a far. He did however, LOVE....finding the EGGS!  Grandma and Grandpa came to spectate in the fun as well.

In the morning before we had left the house, he was carrying around the Easter Baskets, saying,
"EGGS!"

We had to wait patiently at the Barrington Park District for the Egg Hunt to start, but he was VERY patient.

Once they said, GO, he was off collecting as many EGGS as he could get his little hands on!

"These Easter Eggs ARE GREAT!"

Bubble Bath FUN

A few months ago Nolan was afraid of the bath tub. I don't know why, but he would stand and I would wash him down. It was a quick in and out process. Well, that is no more! He now absolutely loves bath time. All day long he goes into the bathroom, points at the tub and says "bath."
So tonight we decided we would give him a special treat, a bubble bath in our jacuzzi tub. He was not a fan of the jets circulating water, but once we turned those off--he absolutely loved his bubble bath!

We love OUTSIDE!

Today we got outside! It was in the 60's and sunny, and we have been cooped up all winter. And Nolan points to the door and says "ou sie," meaning--MOM, let's go outside.

So OUT we went. And my little man is not afraid to meet new friends. He instantly found the neighbors, and they enjoyed playing with him too. This is Ashley and Olivia, they are in 4th grade.



Playing in the grass!



We also played with Wrigley, she enjoys the nice weather TOO!


I am already realizing we are going to be "ou sie" A LOT this summer.
