Egg-citing Easter

The Easter Bunny came!!  Troy managed to find all the eggs that were hidden...but had less success trying to peel the coloured eggs.  Oh well...that's what chocolate is for :)

Checking out the treat basket

YUMMMMMY

Okay Mommy...you said I could have a treat if I put these ears on?! 

Time to help Mommy peel the eggs

Easter is a smash hit!!

Getting Dippy

Auntie C and Jude joined us for Easter Egg decorating festivities.  This year we used liquid dyes (including some sent to us from Hungary!).  It was fun to be creative and try using different combinations and techniques.  Bring on the Easter Bunny :)

The Hungarian dye packets

All ready to go!

Is it done yet?

Okay, I'll dip it a bit more

Dipsy Doodles

The colours turned out nice and bright

Is it blue enough??

Trying out the elastic band effect

Needs a bit more

There is a lot of waiting involved :(

First Day of Spring!

Well, if the first day of Spring is any indication of what the rest of it will be like...we are in luck!!  It was so warm and sunny that Troy was down to his underwear by the end of the afternoon :)

Sipping fruity beverages in the backyard

It's already flip-flop weather!

Time to dance!!

Boy of Summer...er Spring :)

Fits like a glove...

Troy explores some creative options for a baseball glove...

Suits him, yes?

Happy Birthday Oma

It's Oma's birthday today!  Troy was hoping that Oma "would be living at my house" for her birthday.  I'm guessing it is because that would mean some cake :)  Although, I am sure that he would also enjoy playing all the fun Oma games too!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY OMA!!

Sleeping Beauty

Is there anything more beautiful than a sleeping child?  YES...one that sleeps in his own bed :)

All tucked in with teddy

Lulled on the left side

A sign of a good sleep...pillow marks :)

Spring Training

The warm Spring weather has brought out the "warmer" sports....soccer and baseball!

Check out my soccer cleats!

And, I always have someone to play with...

My shadow!!

In the swing of things

Growing up

There are many signs of Troy "growing up" these days.  Probably, the biggest one...he is now sleeping in his own bed!!  Troy is also outgrowing his clothes (already wearing size 4 and 5) and the swings at the playground!

Looking little in his big boy bed

I don't think I fit in this swing anymore?!

Yup...definitely stuck

Am I big enough to get a job, yet?

Troy's coordination hasn't quite caught up with his growing legs...

at least when it comes to his "ballet" dancing  :)
