Putting jammies on

Nicholas put his own pajama pants on last night. It took quite some time but in the end, he was very excited and proud.

Where do I begin?

Left leg first

Extreme concentration

Almost got it

2 legs in

Pull them up

And we're done!

3 things Thursday

3 Things that I love this week

1) McDonalds hot mocha. I could drink this stuff all day long.

2) My new mineral make-up and face primer. I got the face primer recommendation from some Mean Mommies that I know. It works wonders.

3) My baby when he sleeps with his face all squishy and squashed.

The pressure to create a masterpiece

Apparently the demands of producing a work of art with his crayons is getting to Nicholas. At 2 years old, the stress is overwhelming him.

Can't you just feel the tension?

Or it could be that I had him wearing Christmas pajamas on Easter morning and he felt completely ridiculous.

Easter 2010

We had a fairly quiet Easter. Started the day at home. Kenya & Nicholas each got a T-shirt and a teeny bit of candy from the Easter bunny. Kenya loved the Twilight t-shirt and Nicholas loved the Thomas the Train shirt.

No dyed eggs this year. Maybe I'll get brave enough to do this with Nicholas next year.

We headed to Aunt Joy's for Easter dinner and spent some time with Rich's family.

The day started out with my boy dressed in his Easter garb. I love the sweater vest.

By the time we made it to the gathering, we had to do a change of clothes. Still handsome nonetheless.

The 3 Musketeers spent some time together. Nicholas and his cousins Jasmine & Nicole

Nicholas & Nicole decided this porch railing made for a great microphone

All in all, a nice day. The weather was beautiful. We spent a lot of time outside and had a great time.

Easter is the worst holiday for candy

Seriously, Easter holiday candy is the worst holiday candy there is!

I hate these:

These are just disgusting:

And who makes a candy egg complete with yolk? Yuck:

There is one shining light though, it's these:

My only complaint, the foil wrapper takes too long to get off.

And I have been eating a ton of these, but that has nothing to do with Easter.

Spell check is your friend

Reading through some of my older posts, I realize I need to come to love the spell check button. I did graduate high school I promise, I can spell I swear.

(Prior to hitting Publish Post I ran the spell check and had 1 misspelled word but you'll never know which one, lalalalala)

3 things Thursday

An idea stolen from a wonderful Mommy Friend, Sara from Taking on the World With Our Boy.

I'm gonig to try to keep up with a "3 things Thursday". 3 things each week I'm happy about, grateful for, loving, etc.

So :drumroll please: for week#1 here are my 3 things for Thursday

1. I am so excited about the warmer weather. After the horrid winter we had, it snowed so much I swear I farted snowflakes, I'm glad to see the sun.

I was able to take Nicholas outside last night to ride his bike when we got home. He made a new little friend in the neighborhood and it made for a great evening.

2. Driving my own truck. After 2 weeks of driving "the blue beast" (what I affectionately call the monstrosity that is the Yukon) I'm so glad to have my little truck back, and hey it starts right up and gets me where I got to go.

3. Snuggling and cuddles from Nicholas when he's sleepy. We read and watch his shows in the evening on the couch and when he's getting sleepy he snuggles in under my arm. Then we go up to bed and I lay with him until he falls asleep and I love right when he's about to drift off, he scooches his little but up to me, sticks his feet between my legs and snuggles there.
