Happy Easter

We had such a great week. After my parents left Gangi (Nanny #1) and her mother (Nanny #2) came down. unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and we barely made it outside. But we still had fun!

Jake dyed Easter eggs with his Nanny's. they watched a lot of Cars!
























On sunday we had Easter baskets and went for an Easter egg hunt.

garden and stuff

We decided to start a garden and grow some of our own veggies. Kurt and I are big dreamers but I have learned that we arent always the best at planning and following through. With that in mind I convinced Kurt that bringin in a tiller and using 1/4 of the yard for a garden would NOT be a good idea. So we made a box and picked a couple things to start with.






We planted 2 types of tomatoes, basil, green beans and carrots (both in seeds) and 2 types of strawberries. Our project total was about $50. So we figure if we get just a little out of what we planted we will make out money back!

We also bought Jake a toddler bed. He learned how to climb out of the crib and the conversion for his crib was a "special order" item meaning it would take 6 weeks to come in! I was a little worried about how he would so, first nap was rough but he adjusted quickly. He does get out of his crib and play but so far he gets back in bed and goes to sleep when he is ready. We have found blankey and RuRu on the rocker and often find multiple books in bed with him!









Couple more cute pics:
