Mr. Hoppy at WalMart

Brooklynn and I stopped at walmart to get her some finger paints and what do you know - the easter bunny(or Mr. Hoppy as Brookie calls him) was there and doing free pictures!!! Brooklynn ran right up to him and gave him high five and a hug. She sat right on his lap and told him Happy Easter! After a few minutes Brooklynn wanted down, as she went to get down the lady that was supposed to take her pic said - wait I didn't take the pic yet! What - I thought!! Oh well it worked out fine, Brooklynn started to really want down - hence her fingers in her mouth in the pic, she does this if she is upset and doesn't have her nook! It is still cute and what do you expect for free!

Does the bunny look a little creepy?? I think it looks a bit evil..... Well again, FREE :-)

E-G-G-riffic!

Today was a day of a first - letting Brooklynn color and/or dye eggs! She had a blast and did great! I am actually thinking I am going to buy her washable finger paints tomorrow so she can start painting pictures. It was very messy at the end but all worked out just fine. We did have one casualty, an egg rolled right off the table while Brooklynn was painting it. (But that is OK we were able to "test" Nick's secret hard boil egg recipe - Thanks Mel!) Tonight we had our Easter with my Mom and Dad since Easter is going to be a day of 3 stops. She had a BLAST finding all the eggs hidden in my parent's house and LOVED her 2 Easter baskets - that were as tall as her.

I hope everyone has a blessed Easter filled with wonderful family and friends!

The finished eggs!

Happy 4th of July

Wow what a difference a year makes. Last year I was pregnant and waddling around and this year I have Brooklynn to chase around! I hope everyone has a GREAT and safe 4th with family and friends. We are so excited Nick is off and we are going to my Grandparents house on Pewaukee lake for a pig roast "oink!" "oink!" Click here for a listing of fireworks and parades around WI.
