Day 94: Easter Baskets

We did Easter baskets after lunch this year because we gave them a few pieces of candy and didn’t want to spoil their meals.  They loved them this year!! 

I was in a hurry to take pictures because I went out of town and I’m in a hurry to edit them now, so I’m only doing a few.

No surprise, but Charlotte loved the ‘ball’ eggs and that they ‘rattled’ with candy.

 

Cooper has a sweet tooth and gobbled down all his candy once he discovered it.  We had to take the baskets away before he ate all of Charlotte’s too.

Day 93: Dying Easter Eggs

Dying eggs was much cleaner this year than last year.  We used whisks to keep the eggs in and make it easier to dye.  However, than didn’t stop either of them from crushing the eggs.  Surprisingly, Charlotte was the roughest with them!

Cooper was very interested in what Charlotte was doing and kept one eye on her and one eye on his own eggs.

Apparently the vinegar is quite strong smelling.

Last year we used the bathtub (taken with Pentax DSLR, onboard flash, auto setting):

Day 92: Happy Birthday Mommy!

Today is my 30th birthday!  I got a pedicure, went shopping and then came home and my husband made me cupcakes and bought me a new 35mm f/1.8!!  This is a super quick post and edits because I’m going out to meet some friends.  Great way to start my 30s!!

Enjoying the last bits of their cupcake.  Cooper inhaled his, while Charlotte gave herself a facial.

Day 91: Little People War

The kids have several Little People sets.  Now that they are pretending more often, Little People are very popular.  The farm and the airport are the most popular.  Cooper was so cute playing with the farm, but he wouldn’t look at me at all.  I had to kneel way down on the floor and I am NOT a fan of tilt, at all, but this was the only way for me to comfortably get the shot.  The tilt actually doesn’t bother me too much for this particular shot.

Charlotte was so cute playing with the airport, until Cooper decided he wanted it.  Then it was all out war!

This is Cooper’s most sure fire way to get what he wants…pulling hair.  Either that or biting Charlotte’s hands.  He had to say sorry to Charlotte and then sit in timeout for 2 minutes.  Charlotte kept telling Cooper sorry…I guess I need to be a little more clear than “Say sorry.”
