Decorating Cookies

Our local Kitchen Store had a free Easter Cookie Decorating Activity for kids today. I took Edward and they let him decorate two cookies. He got to choose between egg shaped ones and bunny ones, he choose to do two egg shaped ones. He had a blast. He enjoyed doing it. Here are some pictures of him decorating his cookies.

EGGcellent

Edward loved dying his Easter Eggs tonight before we went to bed. Tomorrow daddy will take him for a few hours so mommy can deal with the Easter Basket and hiding the eggs in the house (too cold to do it outside) for him to find after they get back. Here is some pictures of him dying his eggs. I loved the dying kit we used this year, it was called Dunk An Egg, came with everything including the containers to hold the dye. Very easy clean-up. We only did 10 eggs (2 broke during the boiling process) this year, enough for our little family to enjoy some egg salad or deviled eggs later this week.

Please Mr. Postman!!!

Wow! Edward is beside himself. He got a card yesterday in the mail from his Godmother Jennifer with 2 dollars to buy an ice cream cone and today he received 3 packages. One from his Grandma Bev that had a Jesus Storybook Bible (for Easter and His Dedication), some grow capsules with sea animals (he is watching them grow right now....they will be cool for sponge painting) and a cool Puzzle card. He also received one from his Nana in a cool bag that was full with Peanut Butter M&Ms, an egg that had play dough with 2 Easter forms to shape it, a duck with bubbles and some Noah's Ark Playing Cards....oh and a dolphin shape grow me wash cloth. And last but defiantly not least he received a package from his other Godmother Trisha, she sent him some fun sheet foam animals to make (3 of them), 2 rubber duckies (one in an Easter Egg and the other dressed like a bunnie) and a baggie full of Dum Dum Suckers (he loves these). He was totally delighted and happy to be the center of attention with mail today. He says thank you all so very much!!!! He loved each thing and was so excited with everything.

Bath Challenge

LOL! Leave it to Edward. He is the hardest child to get into the tub, it isn't because he doesn't want to take a bath.....he is just to busy to take the time out from what he is doing to come take one. I have to laugh though because once we get him into the bath then we can't get him out usually because then he is to busy playing in there. Got to love that boy!

Amazing

It is simply amazing to me how much Edward's imagine has grown over the last year. He has a very active imagination. It is fun to sit and watch him play. He walks around pretending to talk on his wrist (like Diego does on his video watch). He pretends to talk to daddy (or Nana or Oma Du or Grandma Bev) on a phone, drive cars and trains, be a baby, be a parent, be a musician, be a super hero, ride in a boat or just about anything else he can come up with. He uses the dogs sometimes in his adventures. Especially Stormy, she has become his playmate at times.

Finalized Floor Pictures

Thought you would love to see how our floors came out. We absolutely love them. The first picture is after the stain and first 2 sealant coats have been put on. The last 2 pictures of the finalized Floors after the 3 and final sealant coat was put on and dried. We still haven't been able to move things back into the room completely as I have to apply felt strips to the bottom of almost everything. Will post another picture once everything is moved back into the room and it is put back together.
