tiny little toes. that aren't so tiny anymore. hidden behind the door. just like they do, whenever a game of hide & seek is played. happy friday!
Easter Egg Dye-ing...without the eggs
We haven't dyed eggs before because Ry is allergic to them. This year I came across ceramic eggs, but with shipping, they'd never make it in time. Then I stopped by our local craft store & found wooden eggs. Tonight we dyed them. Then we decorated them with glitter glue pens. The boys had lots of fun. I took lots of pictures.
the wooden eggs had to sit in the dye for a long time, but it did work.
some of the finished product.
we decorated some of the dyed eggs with glitter glue pens. Ry wanted to make one for his baby sister, hopefully she's here by Easter (the pink one).

Our daffodils don't last long, but they smell like spring. I should probably throw them out.
more happy smiles, wouldn't know he woke up from a nap just a few minutes before, very unhappy.

cm monthly challenge: happiness
This month's Clickin Mom's challenge is happiness. In our house, Sundays are happiness. They're relaxing & slow-moving, a perfect way to prepare for the week. Today, the boys got haircuts, we lounged around the house for awhile & then went to the beach. At the moment, our happiness also involves waiting. Any day now, baby #3 should be arriving. We're a little bit anxious & a whole lot excited! Haircuts are not a favorite of the boys, but Ry was excited to play heads-or-tails to see who went first.
Ry won & so Covey was first. His excitement is clearly all over his face!
Ry recently wrote out a welcome sign for his baby sister & my mom turned into a beautiful little blanket!
Covey post-haircut...happy to have the hair off him!
In the afternoon, we headed to the beach.
Ry found lots of treasures!

This is our happiness. Be sure to view the other CM's in our circle to see their happiness! Following me is Jo & her adorable boys!
game time!
lots of time is spent playing games in our house. checkers is the current favorite & ry has his strategy to win. either way, we have fun (well, I think he still does).

yellow is happiness!
Winter is long & this one feels especially long. It's still snowing & there's still a lot of snow on the ground. It's actually quite unusual for us. It typically all melts & then we get the ceremonious dumping for Easter, just in time for the kiddos to dig through the cold stuff to find their eggs. This year I don't think there will be any melting prior to Easter. So we went looking for some spring. I bought some daffodils at the store & found a bright wall in town to take Ry's pictures in front of. After all, yellow is happiness, daffodils smell like spring & so we're almost there. Almost.
like I said, almost. It was windy & cold & he wasn't too happy when a nice gust got him!
