Emma's Easter Pictures

I am very very new at this photography thing, and my subject was very very wiggly but here are a few. Yes I'm fully aware she may be mortified in 12 years when she sees these pictures, but I couldn't resist!

5 Fact Friday

1. We had one warm day last week and took advantage of it by staying outside ALL day. It was wonderful. We are so much happier when we can get out and play. Thank goodness spring is close! 

2. Eli loves to dress up as a bunny and eat carrots. I'm good with it since it gets him to eat some vegetables! 

3. I can't get over this cuteness of Eli putting his arm around Emma at story time! 

And look who can finally sit up in the cart! 

4. Oh the joys of siblings ;) 

5. Grandma Patty and Pap Shane come this week so Eli drew them a welcome sign. I *so artistically* drew their bodies and he decorated them with hair and a face. 

This next week is forecasted to snow *again* so we'll see what adventures it brings! Happy friday!!!

5 Fact Friday (on Saturday)

1. I gave Emma a little taste of a pear this week when Eli was having a snack. She sucked on it a bit but didn't go crazy over it. She also didn't turn her nose up at it though! The plan is to wait til 6 months to start food. I think she'll be ready. She grabs our plates and swipes anything she can right off them! She's so interested in food but can't bring it up to her mouth yet. 

2. I only have 2 kids and have yet to get a picture with them both smiling. Eli does ask to hold Emma more often so maybe my chances of catching one will increase 

3. My mom found some clearance jammies for Emma (size 2t) for Christmas and sent them. Eli wanted to try them on...and has been wearing them every night. Eventually Emma will get her own jammies back. And these bunny ears just kill me :)

4. Eli loves stories. Every night we have to read a few before bed. Usually I nurse Emma and Bryan reads stories. But tonight Emma read with us. 

5. I had my first blue and gold scout dinner and overall I think it was a success. Once I got the ball rolling it really wasn't bad, but we'll see how the pinewood derby goes next month!!!

Bowling

Eli loves bowling! We finally had a relaxing weekend at home and decided to go. He had a blast. One game is just long enough before he gets a little bored. And by the way I got my best score ever- 135!! (It may have had something to do wth using a 6 lb ball) 

Holy smokes Emma's face (and double chin) is so round! She was a good sport and watched the whole time. Maybe she can have a turn in a couple years :)

Farmer Eli

Eli has been pretending to have chickens and collect eggs ever since I got out the Easter decorations. He has his little farm behind the recliner, and feeds them worms and "shhhhhh"'s them to sleep. It's adorable. So when a box came in the mail we covered it to a chicken coop complete with paper straw and paper nests for his hens. He loves it. Then he decided he needed a barn mouse ;)
