25 Weeks

L to R:  last week, this week, 25 weeks with Cole (and looking rough...)

Shlubby Easter 2011

This was the Easter that was not meant to be.
It started out with Justin having to work all day (7 am until 830 pm) on Saturday, which meant we couldn't go home to see our families.  Fail #1.

It continued with me being super sick all weekend.  Fail #2.

It concluded with us NOT going to church on Sunday morning because of #1 and #2.  Fail #3.

We did, however, manage to dye eggs as a family, have a little mini-hunt for Cole on Sunday afternoon, and the Easter Bunny did come to see Cole Sunday morning.  But, Cole watched the Easter Bunny get his basket together from the top of the stairs, the whole time yelling "Mama!!  Mama!!"  And shaking the gate.  So, mildy successfully?  Maybe.  I'm counting it.

So we'll start on Friday...

Cole had an Easter Egg Hunt at school and he came home battle ridden and DIRTY.  They had the hunt in their classroom, so I'm not sure what went on, but I do know that he knows what Skittles are now.  We went to eat crawfish together for dinner that night, came home and decided to dye eggs.  Probably not the best timing since it was almost Cole's bedtime, but I wasn't sure how long Justin would have to work on Saturday.  Seeing as how he was gone ALL DAY and I was so sick, I'm glad we went ahead and did it.

Cole was not super enthused about dyeing eggs.  He did, however, enjoy throwing the eggs into the cups of dye.  In the second pic, you can see the egg mid-air as he gently placed it onto the drying rack.  ::note sarcasm::

So we moved on to the sports stickers.  Cole recently discovered stickers are super cool.  They're even cooler when they're on your body, not on some stupid egg.

He eventually decided it was okay to put them on the eggs, so he just transferred them from himself to the eggs.  No need in getting new ones! :)

Here, he is trying to put the broken pieces of shell back on the egg.  Poor child...these eggs went directly in the trash. 

This was supposed to be the "prize egg" but of course we forgot to hide it.  Isn't my hubby talented?

Is this not the most serious egg hunter you've ever seen? 

So there you have it.  Shlubby Easter 2011.  Complete with a family picture in t-shirts and shorts.

Cole chasing Daddy

This is Cole chasing his daddy with a "snake." It was actually just a strip of paper that he found. He has such an imagination!

Cutie

This was Cole looking at a picture of my friend Amanda's son Parker, her husband Steven, and a sheep.
He called Steven mama because Steven has a beard and so does Justin.  Facial hair can be confusing.  :)

Our Weekend

 This is his "cheese" face.
