Buona Pasqua

     That means Happy Easter in Italian. Yesterday was our first Easter spent here, and we had a wonderful day. We started it out with bunny pancakes and fruit. A friend saw it online and gave us the idea. They came our really cute, and Connor loved the chocolate chip paw prints and whip cream tail.

Easter Egg Hunt

    Yesterday we went to an Easter event hosted by Aaron's work. Connor had a blast, so I'm really happy that we went. We were asked to bring some sort of finger food, so I picked cupcakes {my favorite!}. I started baking them first thing in the morning, and with Connor's help we finished a couple hours later! I have been wanting to try out a recipe for Connor's birthday cupcakes, so this was the perfect opportunity. They came our really good, so I will be making them again next weekend.

    It was a beautiful day for an outside event. It got up to 65 degrees, but felt much warmer in the sun.

Keeping C Entertained

      We have had another busy week that is ending on a really good note. I haven't taken many pictures, but I will share the few that I did take. On Sunday morning we did Easter crafts. Connor really liked putting the stickers all over the eggs and it kept him busy for a while!

Keeping Busy

     I have been in a major spring cleaning type of mood the last few days. Part of it is because Kylie is shedding like crazy and I have to vacuum multiple times a day. The other reason is because my parents are coming to visit us in a few weeks and we are going to be celebrating Connor's second birthday. On Wednesday I even took the cleaning outside and swept the sidewalk. I never do that! When we moved the doormat, we found several earthworms living underneath it. Connor thought they were very interesting. He was a little scared of them and wouldn't dare touch them... thank God!

 Keeping his distance.

Feeling Better

    So Connor and I are FINALLY starting to feel better. We have been doing a lot of hanging out around the house the last few days. That means a lot of reading, playing, and talking to family on FaceTime. Before naps and bedtime, I always let Connor pick out a book for me to read him. Well on Sunday he picked Fox in Socks and my goodness was it a tongue twister! I don't think I have ever read that book out loud, nor do I think I ever will again. He laughed at me several times because I kept messing up the words. It was pretty funny.

 Connor read the book to me first.
