Oh Walmart....

I was searching for a cake picture on Google Images the other day and I came across this cake. I stared at it for a long time trying to figure out what it said. I clicked on the link to see it bigger, and I still couldn't figure out what it meant. Until I read the caption:

Some people that work here had a going away party the other day for a woman
that is leaving.
One of the supervisors called a Walmart and ordered the cake. He told them to write: “best wishes Suzanne” and underneath that write “we
will miss you”.

Easter baskets are inherently girly

We had an egg filled month this March. I have plastic eggs coming out of my ears. Ethan loves to find small things to hide in them, like raisins and coins he finds in my wallet. I'm surprised how good he is at closing the plastic eggs. He's very persistent.

Anyway, here are some pictures from our play group egg hunt. We had a huge turn out (we missed you beckee) and there were tons of eggs to find with lots of yummy candy for me... I mean Ethan... to eat.

After 3 egg hunts, Ethan has developed a new found love for jelly beans. That one molar he has really helps I guess.

After picking up egg after egg after egg, Ethan figured out a much more efficient way to gather them. He finished early and was able to check out the buffet table and make a phone call while everyone else finished up:

Heading off to church. (While Eric headed off to bed... only one more week of nights!)

Class Clown

I've been feeling the pressure from family members to put up more videos, so here they are. They're not great in quality, but I think the subject matter is pretty cute nonetheless.

The other day Ethan started running back and forth across the room, just giggling like crazy. When he saw how much it was making Eric and I laugh, he kept doing it. He ran back and forth for probably 10 minutes before we got the camera out. You can see he's getting tired. The whole thing ended abruptly when he dizzily ran smack into the wall at full speed. Unfortunately we didn't get that moment on tape. He hasn't really mastered the whole "watch where you're going" aspect of running.

Every kid has meals like this, but Ethan doesn't do it very often. I think it's because he has his shirt off this time that he decided to go town. He loves to rub things on his tummy e.g. lotion, diaper rash cream, mommy's face cream and evidently baby food.

Sorry it's so dark, we had a lightbulb out....

or should I say "STILL HAVE a light bulb out"... aHem... Eric.

A few videos for the Fam

It cracks us up to watch Ethan do his stacking cups. He's really been into them lately. We've had them for a year, but he's just recently noticed them again and they've become his favorite toy. He takes them very seriously and he is very proud of himself when he completes the stack.

Can we go outside yet??

We are so excited for all the snow to melt so we can play at the park again. It's been so long since Ethan's been able to run free outside. Every once in a while Ethan will get ready to go on his own and make me feel really guilty for keeping him cooped up in the house for so long. Just a few more weeks of warmth should do it. Our apartment manager was optimistically planting flowers today. Hopefully he's right and the cold is over.
