Easter House

Owen LOVED decorating a gingerbread house for Christmas, even though he made me do most of the actual decorating...so, I saw an Easter bunny house decorating kit in the store the week before Easter and bought it, with plans to decorate it with Owen some time that week during Eric's nap. :)

We just got around to it today. . . better late than never!

Owen is a stickler for following directions, so the "path" and "flowers" were very important to him because they were in the picture on the box. I was a little worried when he kept talking about them that he would be upset that we didn't have fake grass to put down around them (the professionals on the box cover did, of course!), but he took it pretty well.

Except for candy placement, these are the only parts he was actively involved in! In the picture below he is "walking the path." He wanted to make sure that I included that picture in the blog so everyone could see it. ;-P

funny clothes

Back when Owen was born, Shea made a lot of jokes about the plain white Gerber onesies being "wife-beaters." His explanation of this term was that in movies, men who beat their wives often did it while wearing only their white undershirt, which was usually the sleeveless kind to show off their arm muscles. He says this is a common term, although I had never heard it before Shea...

Apparently neither had one of our friends, who thought it was hilarious! So funny, in fact, that she gave us a sleeveless version of the Gerber onesie (she could only find it in blue) at my baby shower for Eric.

When Eric was a little baby, it was really just cute on him, no hint of the "wife-beater" style, but now that he is a little bigger and I paired it with regular pajama pants last night because of the between weather. . . well, you can see the movie image a little, right???

Easter - part 2

We took a weekend trip to visit Owen and Eric's cousins Bryce and Mia for the Easter holiday. Their cousin Tabitha was able to make the trip, too, so we got all of the cousins on that side together for the holiday! :) Owen and Eric had a great time visiting, playing, and finding eggs filled with candy, of course!

Easter - part 1

We did a small Easter Egg hunt today with Paddy and Parker at our house. Eric was napping for the actual hunt, but we did get him to pose for a picture with everyone after the hunt.
