Hoppy Easter!

This year was the first time that Max seemed to really get into the holiday. Christmas was full of excitement and trepidation, but Easter was another story. When Max woke up first thing he did was run into the living room and make a b-line to an Easter egg that the Easter Bunny hid. And he remembered all about the the jelly beans we planted and sure enough the Easter Bunny worked his magic and lollipops did grow overnight!!! We continue to get more people out of training at work which means I got to stay home and see Max get up Easter morning. It was nice to go in late because this was the first year I got to have Easter morning at home since Max was born.Since this was my first actual Easter morning with my kiddo I had great intentions of doing it up right. I was going to make monkey bread but the boys settled for Dunkin Donuts instead, and a little candy too.

One egg down and 9 to go...

Max is an official jelly bean taste tester.

 
The goodies the Easter Bunny left!!!

Twas the night before Easter...

As you may remember I absolutely love holidays and Easter is no different. Tonight after dinner and a bath the family dyed eggs and we started a new family tradition. I found a really cute idea of planting jelly beans in a pot then in the morning after the Easter Bunny works his magic lollipops grow. So here we are off to bed and ready for morning.

I also found this great idea of putting an egg inside of a whisk to dunk eggs. It worked wonders!!!

Zoo Trip

Look at me! I'm making good time cause this post is actually about something that happened a week ago!!! Last Monday we got together with Nicholas and Silas. Max loved the Snake house and of course the playground. It was a beautiful day and I'm glad we got out of the house. This was also our first time using a wagon and I LOVED it! Also on a different note I finished a crochet doll that I have been making for my soon to be appearing niece Hayden. I'm hoping to get a picture up here soon but who knows with how I roll...

Maxwell's favorite toy!

 

Max has very expensive taste. First let us not forget the 2 laptops that he broke in less than a month, but he is obsessed with playing in the car. Luckily he hasn't broken anything there (knock on wood.) I think he would be fine sitting in the car every day and night!

Jeff and I got to school a little early a few weeks ago and Max's class and the other pre-k's were still playing outside. Max stood at the gate trying to get out when he saw us. When the TA came over to get him he ran off screaming. Jeff and I always wondered if he played with the other kids or what he did when we were not there. I guess we have an idea now.

Is it Buzz Lightyear or Woody?

You might be asking yourself... Is that Buzz Lightyear I see or Woody. Well I guess it's a little both. Max has been wanting to wear his old Halloween costume and heck what do I care since he is about to outgrow it.So here you have just another day in the Brown house!

I know, I know.... Here is what you have been waiting for.

Ugh! I know I suck at keeping this up to date but life happens and the blog has gone by the wayside. Max got together with some of his playmates a few weeks ago and had a good time. I'm having to learn to adjust to the fact that he likes to play by himself right now and not so much as a group. I love having the kids get together and love the time I get to spend with the mommies though.
