after breakfast, we headed outside for an easter egg hunt. (dada) bunny attempted to hide the eggs, but mister jack was just too good. he no sooner found one egg before he spotted another and another. the look on his face was pure elation and excitement. and, i love me a happy jack!
"mama, yook! see my eds!"
forever watching the airplanes
and now, her too
jack sharing his easter booty
"yook, mama! nother airpane!"
dylan enjoying her one treat from the easter egg hunt:
chocolate peep dipped in chocolate
just wanting to squish in fingers...
so mean mama took away fun-play-thing
so after our hunt but before naps, i pulled out the cookie dough i had mixed up the night before. jack really enjoyed making cookies on st. patrick's day, so i thought that would be fun to do on easter. found a cute bunny cookie cutter, perfect size for tiny hands. i love how proud he is of his creations. then, the amazement at watching them rise and bake! he insisted we watch the whole time. so, we gathered our new books from gramma d and sat in front of the oven while the 8 minutes ticked by. it must have been while they were cooling that i lost him; he had moved onto bigger and better things aka a movie. lately, his favorite is bambi, and i know this because he tells me "mama, dats my favrit movie. i yike bambi." again, what a change from a year ago... before, he wanted nothing to do with the television and now, he will sit and watch an entire movie. it makes for nice quiet time around our house. while he watched his movie, ben and i frosted cookies while dylan played at our feet. it's always nice when the girl can walk around and not have to watch her back, literally. she doesn't have to worry about getting knocked down, toys ripped from her sweaty palms or being told "no duey, dats MINE!" poor girl, she's gonna be tough.

and content with her mama
after late naps and homemade lasagna dinner, we headed back outside. where the morning had been rather chilly, the afternoon turned surprisingly nice. we managed a family picture and captured our babes playing together outside. life with two just keeps getting better and better.
