Easter eggs!

I was SO excited to dye Easter eggs this year.. Aidan is old enough now to have fun with it, and I learned a new trick for him!

He had even more fun & control coloring his eggs with a whisk! I don't remember where I heard of this idea, but it worked perfect! :)


Every year I get together with my best friend Michelle to dye eggs.. I think we have more fun that the kids do!

Aidan was very excited to play with the boys that afternoon.


Although he broke a few eggs, Aidan had to be sure to try out every color of egg dye!


After the boys left, Aidan was very lovey-dovey.. here's my favorite pic of the day!

5QF

1. Do you sing out loud in the car while you are driving? It depends.. I try to sing in the car to Aidan all the time, but when I am by myself.. I very rarely sing out loud.

2. What would you never be caught doing? Honestly, the first thing that comes to my mind is undressing publicly. I am super shy, and hate being naked.. so, naked in public isn't going to happen for me!

3. Will you #2 in a public restroom? If I have to go, I have to go! (I just hope it is a clean bathroom!)

4. Have you ever broken a bone? Yes. My leg when I was 4.. or 5? All I remember, I was at daycare riding a tricycle, and another kid came up behind me & pushed while I was pedaling..
my leg wrapped around the pedal & broke.
..I also remember vomiting on the pediatrician when he "tested" my leg to see if it was broken!

5. Do you prefer cooking or baking? Baking, hands down! I love to bake cookies, and REALLY love to make candy (chocolates, truffles, etc..)
.. I would love to make candy & get paid to do it!
Unfortunately, I don't bake very often because my hubby is weird & doesn't like sweets! :)

tractor ride!

Tuesday after his nap, Aidan rushed me outside, & we sat in the backyard for a 1/2 hour watching..


..Uncle Shiner plow the fields!
Aidan is seriously in love with all things John Deere, and he was content to sit & watch his great uncle plow
for a L O N G time!


Once he loosened up the dirt so the ride wouldn't be so rough on Aidan, Uncle Shiner came back 'round to pick up his passenger!


I thought that Aidan wouldn't go without me, but he was ready to go.. and didn't care at all that Mommy wasn't going with him!
Love how he is holding onto the seat in this picture!


He doesn't look too excited here, but trust me.. it's all he's been talking about!


I'm guessing he wants to be a farmer! :)

beautiful day!

Aidan & I had a great time outside today..
it was 70 degrees!
We broke out the sidewalk chalk & had some fun!


This wasn't your ordinary sidewalk chalk,
it was 3D chalk!
..check out the SUPER cool glasses!


This stuff did actually appear to be 3-dimensional, so it kept Mommy very entertained while we drew pictures together.
It was a bit windy outside.. but we were loving this beautiful day!


Daddy & Aidan went back outside after dinner & drew Mommy a picture..


..it reads: We ♥ Mommy!
I love you both too! :)

indescribable!

Warning: please excuse my son's unmade bed, his cute naked butt, and his perfectly timed fart at the end of his little dance!

I could not stop laughing as I watched this..
..I had to share it! :)

Enjoy!

Tot School-Letter J

Finally finished with letter J!

Here's what we've been up to the past few weeks :)

Aidan made a jelly bean J for his alphabet book, I LOVE how he made the dot for the little j a jelly bean!

We also sorted jelly beans by color, although Aidan had more fun scooping & mixing them!

Aidan did quite a few jigsaw puzzles too, Daddy got in on the fun as well!

Our favorite part about the letter J was definitely the printables that I got from Dawn at Our Little Monkeys, they were all John Deere!

Our munchkin is a HUGE John Deere fan, and we played the matching game several times, as well as the do-a-dot & coloring page.

Thanks Dawn, these were very helpful & a HUGE success!

We practiced our jumping skills with the couch pillows..

..and played a bunch of "jungle hide & seek!"

I would hide Aidan's jungle train animals throughout the living room, while he IMPATIENTLY waited for me to call him to come & find them!

He was loving this activity, and we played this quite a bit too!
We wrapped up our study of the letter J with a movie.. The Jungle Book!
Thanks for stopping by, we're off to do some fun Easter activities now! :)
