"How Am I Supposed to Know?"

Nicholas and I were eating breakfast this morning. He wanted to say "Good Morning" to the baby so I told him to come over and say it. He said it, kissed my belly, and then continued to eat his breakfast. We talked about the baby for a few minutes. I asked him if the baby was a boy or a girl baby. He said "It's a baby." I said, "I know it's a baby, but is it a boy baby like you or a girl baby like Page? (a friend of his)" He looked at me kind of funny and proceeded to say "How am I supposed to know?"

I agree, so why do we keep asking him? How is he supposed to know?? We should find out the definite answer in a couple of weeks!

Happy Easter!

A Late Guinness....

St. Patrick's Day came and went. Mommy is very sick with a terrible cold and hasn't had a minute to post. But we figured we better get these online before Easter comes this Sunday when there is sure to be some great pictures and video for you.

Mommy was at an appointment on St. Patrick's Day and this is what she came home to:


Apparently, Daddy had some father-son time teaching his son about the value of a good Irish beer.


Meanwhile, on Thursday, when the winds were gusting to 50 mph, the MOMS Club hosted their Easter Egg Hunt. We already had our BPL one, so Nicholas was a definite pro (although the blustery conditions forced preggo Mommy to keep picking up the eggs that were blowing out of his basket.) It was an interesting hunt, but at least we got some pictures.

A cool blow-up Easter egg ball Nicholas just loves!

We wish you a wonderful and blessed Easter. Will post again soon! Love you all.

Easter Eggstravaganza

This past Saturday, the Suffolk Parks Department, hosted their annual Easter Eggstravaganza. The park is less than a mile from our house, so we were there right at the start to enjoy the festivities. Nicholas met the Easter Bunny while looking at a fire truck, and for some reason, he even sat with the Easter Bunny for his picture (unlike Santa, who he won't even go near!!) He enjoyed playing and having fun. Mommy was ready for a nap!

Well hello Mr. Bunny!

I love to crawl through these blow ups!

Is there candy in here?
Yep, here it is!

Mommy wanted it, I swear!

Whee!

Our 2008 Easter Photo!

Lounging...

Here are some pictures from just hanging around the house. The electric went out last weekend so we had to watch our evening shows on the portable DVD player. Nick loves to chill with his daddy, and we sometimes eat our afternoon snack outside in the afternoon. Isn't he looking like a little boy now or what?

BPL Easter Egg Hunt

Yes, my feet are as big as they look!

We always host an Easter Egg Hunt for our block- this year, it was quite cold! But, the kids had a blast. Nicholas was OBSESSED with his eggs and his candy. We could not get him away from it. I think he is going to love Easter morning this year more than last.

Nick's First 3rd Birthday Party

Nicholas got to attend his first 3rd birthday party on Saturday. His best buddy and neighbor, Bryce, had his party at Color Me Mine, a pottery painting studio. It was Nicholas's first experience with this kind of art project, so he picked a mug to paint for Daddy (of course). As you can see, he first got frustrated but eventually just had fun painting away! He got to sit next to the birthday boy as he blew out his candles, and Nicholas enjoyed his blue cupcake tremendously (we are not sure why he was eating it with no hands and just his face, but it was funny!). What a day! Hope you adjusted to the time change as well as Nicholas!!

No hands!

Cake and paint all over!

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!

Nicholas loves letters. Big letters, small letters, spelling words, you name it. It is his favorite past time. His favorite book is Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr., John Archambault, and Lois Ehlert (thank goodness I taught elementary school, right?) He has been playing with the book and matching all the letters to it. So, I made him a tree for our door so he can put his magnetic letters up the tree himself and make them go boom, just like in the book. He was very excited about it when he got up this afternoon! Here he is playing!
