Happy Easter!!

Despite colds all around and Addy's ear infection...the Easter festivities continued.  Mr. Easter Bunny did not disappoint and Isaac had a great time looking for eggs and all of his toys!  The Easter bunny might have gone a little overboard!  In fact...Isaac got up around 5:15 pretty usual these days for him and he found eggs and ate all the candy before I even got out of bed!!  That little stinker.  At least I was able to see him hunt for the ones the Easter bunny dropped on the deck on his way into the house and of course his toys.  Addy of course couldn't have cared less, she was just trying to keep up with Isaac.  We went to Nana and Papa's of course where the Easter bunny came too!  The kids just had a ball and around 2 pm Isaac just fell asleep sitting up he was exhausted and Addy was asleep downstairs!  It was a great Easter...despite the colds!!

He needed to lift up his mattress to see if the Easter bunny put his basket under there!

Happy Birthday Addy!

Addy likes to celebrate big moments in her life in all the same way.  With an ear infection!!  A couple days before her birthday she came down with a big cold and then of course a day later she had an ear infection.  Despite her runny nose and sleepless nights from her ear pain, we celebrated her birthday as a family none the less.  Isaac decorated her a huge cupcake, he sang happy birthday to her several times and then of course he blew out her candle for her.  She like Isaac was not impressed by the cake.  She touched it, starred at why her fingers were messy and then pushed the cupcake away.  Easy clean up.  We are looking forward to her party and hopefully she will be well by then.  Happy 1st Birthday Addy, you will forever be my little princess!!

All smiles when she got up in the morning

1st Time to the Children's museum

Yep, that's right we live about 10 minutes from there and have never taken Isaac.  I decided that when a good friend who lives about 45 minutes away got a membership it was about time that I look into this place.  We met there one morning right when they opened, and WOW!!  Busy busy busy!!  Tons of field trips were going on, but besides that Isaac had a blast.  He is still talking about it.  We will for sure be going back, but I hear the secret is to go on no group Tuesdays.  We might need a membership too with the price, since Addy won't be free any longer....we will have to see.  So much to do, I feel like Isaac just brushed the surface.  Thanks Brenda, Ben and Molly for taking us along!!

She loved playing at the water tables

Mr. Easter Easter Bunny

Isaac calls the Easter bunny, Mr. Easter Easter Bunny.  He has been excited for so long for this holiday and of course has a list a mile long of things he would like the Easter bunny to bring him in his basket.  Many of the items, however, the Easter Bunny can not find.  It will be interesting around our house on Easter morning.  Hopefully the Easter bunny made up for it with some other items, we shall see.  The past two weekends Isaac has had the chance to go on Easter Egg hunts in the community.  He was beyond excited for this!!
The first egg hunt was at church.  It was pretty small and started out with the Fr. Dave (St. John's) blessing on the children's baskets.  Isaac was thrilled to see that little prizes and candy were in his eggs.

He gave Addy the opened eggs!

This weekend he was able to participate in an event at Edgerton Community Gym (put on by the city of Maplewood) where the Easter bunny was there, crafts, jump castle, open gym, breakfast and of course the EGG HUNT!!!  Isaac and Addy both had a blast at this event, we will for sure be doing it again in the future.  Isaac was speechless when he met Mr. Easter Easter Bunny,  but he wasn't shy to shake his hand, give him high 5 or even a good-bye hug.

Weird smile but he was sooooo Excited!!

Addy was shy so Seth jumped in this picture
