Happy Easter EveryBUNNY!

Ethan woke up at a reasonable hour this morning.  Although we prepped him that if he was a good boy the Easter Bunny would visit our house and leave some presents for him... he didn't quite get it.  So.. we went downstairs to have breakfast as we would any other morning and on his way down the stairs he noticed some eggs.  He picked one up, opened it and said, "LOOK Mama and Dada!".  I said, "I think the Easter Bunny came to our house and left some presents for Ethan and McKenzie".  His face lit up.  He continued down the stairs and noticed another egg.  He said, "ANOTHER one"!  He was super excited and continued on his hunt for MORE eggs filled with treats.  After opening his Easter basket we had some breakfast and played with some new toys.  It's been a pretty relaxing day.

How Sweet!

 "I LOVE Easter!"

 "Hmmmm.. anything in here?!"

 

 "That carrot looks good!"

 

 

 

What have we been up to?! We'll we've got our hands full with 2 kiddos. There's really  no time for the computer or blogging - so forgive me in advance!!  I have McKenzie M-W and both Ethan and Kenzie on Thursdays and Fridays. I try to get housework, laundry, excercise and errands done on M-W as Kenzie is pretty easy going and very portable.  It's nice to have some quality time with Kenzie on those days because on Th & Fri's it's all about Ethan.  We go to gymnastics, have play dates, ride bikes and make sure Ethan gets enough exercise so that he'll nap for me!

It's still sometimes hard for Ethan not to get Mama and Dada's attention ALL the time and when he wants it - but he's doing pretty well. He's still working on being patient.  He loves his sister very much and is always so sweet with her.  To my surprise, he gave her a binky when she was crying (and didn't even try to take it for himself!)  When Kenzie is crying he'll go over to her and say, "Oh, it's OK little one.  Don't cry." (in a baby voice) It's pretty cute.  His other most used phrase is "Oopsie Daisy".  When he drops something or does something by accident.  (Not sure where he got that one!)  

McKenzie is as sweet as ever.  She's pretty low maintenance and just goes with the flow.  She's been sleeping 6-8 hours during the night.  When it's bath time she just sits there and lets me wash her - no crying. Last week she started smiling!!  Oh, it's the sweetest thing and just melts my heart.  She's been making lots of grunting noises lately.  She's nursing really well and compared to Ethan is bigger than he was when he was 6 weeks.  She's getting much stronger and holds her head up quite well.  She's had much more "awake" time these last couple of weeks.  When Ethan is playing or acting crazy / silly - McKenzie will look at him like, "What the heck are you doing?  Do you ever slow down?

Adam has been busy working and I've been busy taking care of the kiddos, cooking and cleaning.  Who knew 1 little baby would create double OR MORE laundry?! Last week we met with a few window covering companies to get estimates on some blinds for the house.  Yes, I know it's hard to believe we've lived here since November and still don't have any window coverings on any windows. (Except a few random blankets / shower curtains on a few windows- NICE!) 

We haven't seen the sun in a week or so.  It's been snowing, snowing, snowing!  And... the forecast calls for more snow until Wednesday.   It's not accumulating much - just snowing.  It's been pretty warm this past week.   We also saw some bear tracks in our yard yesterday but didn't see him.  Although I love the snow and winter months - I'm ready for Spring!
