Hangin' with Kasey and Coloring Eggs

Now that Buds is such a big boy, what with his staying dry at school and wearing underwear instead of diapers, he also is acquiring many of the skills he will need in his future roll of "man." One of those skills is knowing how to really relax in one's underoos. (What? C'mon, you know it's true gentlemen!). Christopher is also now sleeping with a blanket in his crib rather than his sleep sack and he likes the blanket to go everywhere in the house. Here he is relaxing like a pro with Kasey...

Later, after his siesta, Christopher colored eggs with Mommy for Easter. As exciting as this activity should be for a young child, there were two, um, issues with it for little CJ. First of all, the eggs were not going to be consumed immediately. If any of you have seen this boy eat, you will see wherein lies the problem. Second, all previous Easter egg hunts have been for those little plastic eggs that people put candy inside of. So you try explaining to this two year-old why he won't be able to open up these eggs on Sunday and find chocolate goodies in them... and then keep trying to come up with an answer when he repeatedly (oooh I don't think I've every used bold on this blog before!) asks when we can "open the eggs up" to "get the candy in dem." Anyway, here is evidence of the egg coloring...

We have several festivities to prepare for this holiday weekend including a Passover seder tomorrow night with Lahna and Liam and their friends and family (and no, nobody there will be Jewish--we just decided we all wanted to do a seder). And what holiday in Kansas would be complete without the Eakins! We will be joining them as well as Matt and Jaime for Easter brunch with all the kiddos. Should be fun. Happy Easter/Passover everyone!
