We had a fun-filled Easter weekend. The boys are asleep and I’m about to head to bed myself.
First up, I made a Peep wreath at crafting night.
MonkeyBoy had his first experience dyeing Easter Eggs. He tried to bite into them shell and all, and then happily ate a shelled one until he got [...]
We went to visit the Easter Bunny today and then the boys participated in an Easter Egg hunt. MonkeyBoyToo scored one egg while MonkeyBoy found a dozen or so. Hunts at this age consist of a roped off area where eggs are scattered all over the ground and the kids start searching on [...]
The bluebonnet crop is fairly sparse this year, but I managed to find one big field for photos. Neither boy was very interested in having his picture taken, so this is the best I could get.

I finally downloaded about 100 pictures from my phone and thought I’d share some from the past couple weeks.

This morning we were rushing around trying to get ready to leave the house for a birthday party. MonkeyMan was taking care of MonkeyBoyToo, I was putting the finishing touches on the birthday present, and MonkeyBoy was happily coloring away on a poster he’d received way back at Big Brother class this fall. [...]
It was Dr. Seuss’s birthday this week and the kids have been celebrating all week at school. Today was “dress up like your favorite Seuss character” day in MonkeyBoy’s class, so I made outfits for both boys. I think they were a big hit!
I was also feeling the need to use my kitchen [...]
I love it when the city shuts down for a sprinkling of snow. It’s nice to have a fun day to spend with the boys.
I decided to stay awake after MonkeyBoyToo’s 5AM feeding, which resulted in a clean kitchen and homemade cinnamon rolls. However they didn’t rise as quickly as I’d hoped so we needed a filler activity in between the excitement of watching them rise. So we loaded up the car and headed to a new [...]
We saved almost everything from MonkeyBoy, and it’s been nice to pull out the baby items and use them again. This weekend we pulled out the activity mat and I think MonkeyBoy is having even more fun with it than his little brother. When MonkeyBoyToo isn’t using it, MonkeyBoy is either laying on [...]
I’m having a difficult time getting any milk pumped right now as MonkeyBoyToo likes to eat all the time. He’s started going every four hours between meals at night (yay!), but during the day he wants to eat every hour and half to two hours. This makes it almost impossible to pump when [...]
