Happy Easter

So here they are...a little late, but no less beautifully rainbow colored!

All set to dye him some eggs! Don't ask what that stupid smile is about, but its been popping up more and more lately...at least he's looking at the camera now instead of running away!
And he's off...getting directions from "the master" on designing a quality Easter egg with the assistance of the clear wax crayon...intense!
and now its a race to see who can get the most eggs in those cups
the waiting is the hardest part...finally, he gets to check on the color...is it dark enough yet?
and they're ready to come out...feels like we've been waiting FOREVER!


yea, he's curious about the color of his fingers too.
waiting for round 2
might as well cheese while i'm killing time
"what do you think dad?"
taking them out was his favorite part!
just one more...the finished product
oh so proud of himself!
of course, they're going to need a good counting to make sure none are missing
Easter morning...the Easter Bunny found us AND our eggs!
the basket o' loot!

the great train adventure...part 1

Step 1: Dump everything on the floor and check out all the pieces.
Step 2: Begin assembly. Its a circle, how hard can it be to figure out what goes where?
Step 3: Make a note to yourself that next time you do this you measure to ensure that the circumference of the circle track is not bigger than the width of the table.
Step 4: Take a gander at those directions...maybe they do have a little something to offer. However, keep in mind they will not make the table any bigger!
Step 5: Disassemble and remove the too-small-table.

one of the many things we do in the house even though we shouldn't

**I have been having some problems making posts over the past 2 weeks, but they are going up much easier now and hopefully the issues have been resolved and I can get back to posting more often.**




Here he is, all ready to go! Of course, safety being Zack's main concern, he needed a "helmet" to go along with his knee pads...did you know a pumpkin hat will protect the brain in case of a fall while skating in your kitchen?

cheesin'

I said "smile!" and this is what I got...
The third time's a charm, as cheesy as it may be.
