The Easter bunny brought Alex a bunch of eggs with quarters in them! Alex had $3.75 and yesterday we went to Target to learn how many things you can buy with that much money. We were extra lucky in that half the stuff in the dollar bins was 50% off!
I asked Alex what type of thing he wanted to buy and the first thing he said was that he wanted to buy something for Maya!
He bought her a Stegasaurus, LOL. Even funnier is that she loves it!
So thanks to the Target dollar bins and their sale Alex was able to get Maya's Stegasaurus, a set of Curious George ink stamps, a wooden tic tac toe game, and a set of 6 stretchy rubber dinosaurs. For a total of $3.71 w/ tax. You know what part he thought was the coolest? The fact that he got 4 pennies back as change!

Spring?
Oh the weather outside is frightful
but chocolate cake is so delightful
close the curtains and pretend we don't know
let it snow....let it snow ...let it snow

Happy Easter!
We got up this morning and went to 6am church. Yes, I said 6am. It was actually pretty fun, Alex thought it was a great adventure getting up and driving to church in the dark, by the light of the moon...We went to breakfast with a group from church and then headed home to see what the bunny left!
Alex was very excited to hunt for his basket and eggs.
By 10:30am we were all ready for a nap!

Wings of Wonder
Wings of Wonder
There was a presentation at our local library today. Alex thought it was pretty cool....so did Ben and I!
We never learn
We should know by now that any large, free children's activity in Traverse City is asking for trouble. There are just far too many preschool age kids in this town. This morning we braved the Easter egg "hunt". I have hunt in quotes because I don't personally consider eggs scattered on the floor of a gym to really qualify as a hunt....it was more like a "scramble".
When it was all said and done you could totally tell which kids actually picked up their own eggs versus which parents picked up eggs for their kids....the kids who did it themselves each had 5-8 eggs and the parents had full baskets.
Alex had fun during the actual egg part and then immediately said "let's get out of here!"
New fun at mealtime
Now that Maya can sit she gets to sit at the table and play while we eat. She loves it!

Sitting means new fun in the tub
Now that she can sit, that means she can play and splash more in the tub. Boy can she splash more. Our kitchen will be nice and clean after bath nights now.
Maya sits
Maya can sit on her own now...for the most part. As you can see by the last picture we are still a little selective about how hard of a surface we sit her on because she randomly arches her back and flies backwards.
Yes Alex has a toy pot on his head. He said his name was "Mister pan seller". I'm thinking it has something to do with the book "Caps for sale" where the cap peddler wears his merchandise on his head.
Flashlights and cookies
Really, what more could a boy ask for? That's what the children's activity at church last week involved. Alex was in heaven.
They took flash lights and went on a "Jesus hunt" throughout the whole church building and then decorated whole wide world cookies.
