March - Part 3...Easter Things

So, the day after it snowed, school was canceled, so we made it outside to play for a little bit.  In honor of Easter coming the following weekend, we opted for an snowBUNNY instead of a snowman. :)  (The ears were surprisingly harder than I estimated.)

Instead of a carrot nose, we were feeding the snowbunny a carrot!  Despite the smile in this picture, she was actually distraught about not making the carrot a nose. 

We went to the backyard and EJ had a fun time throwing the carrot into nearly a foot of snow, running over to the landing spot, and then digging it out of the snow to find it.  She was just thrilled to make up her own game. :)

Easter is Coming!

Princess moment!

Time to color eggs for the first time together!

Ha!  Her face looks like a cartoon face because it's distorted with the angle.   Hee, hee!

Easter goodies waiting for "the lil' one" to come home to look for eggs.

Lining up her real eggs (top row) and the fake eggs...all her own doing.  I kind of sat there laughing and semi-worried about the methodical'ness' of it all!

Finally, Mommy found some new, big-girl towels that will actually fit her.  I think she liked them! :)

Watch the Elephant in Motion! (video)

Then Onto the Frog! (Video)

She also got some gardening gloves and tools so we could work on our garden together this year.

Zoo with our Friends...

Sometimes, pictures from behind are just as cute as the ones where they know we're taking their picture.

(This is slightly out of order - this is the early evening of Easter)

We headed to the park with our friend Dave, "I" and "S" and flew kites for the first time together!  It was a beautiful Easter afternoon.  I think EJ liked to watch her princess kite get up in the air!

Wonder how the smile turned into a frown?
Well, "S" (the boy in pic below) is a little older, and was standing on the bleachers while flying his kite, and I wasn't letting EJ...way too easy to fall over the side!  Besides, we had to keep moving around because her kite wasn't staying up, even though S' kite was.
