Egg hunt…

Dh made a little egg hunt in the back yard today… I am not a big fan of this holiday, it just has no meaning for me except for chocolate… but it was a lot of fun watching the boys look for their eggs… there were 12 eggs in all 6 marked with X and 6 with a C… so the boys would find eachothers and hand them over to the other without a word… Xavier of course was the one who determined which eggs went where in most cases…

Anyways… here are a few pics…

and My Favorite… (one of the rare pics of the boys together)

New pics…

I haven’t been good lately in taking pics of the kids… but here are a few…

Colin with long hair… a few days before I cut his hair…

Xavier sneaking shephards pie after his bath (he had already eaten 2 plates full)

The boys at playing in the sandbox

Chocolate Bunny Day Pancakes

And these were also taken today…

Pics to share….

Last weekend I found umbrella’s on sale and bought 2 for them… this came at the perfect time since the rain is comming (though you wouldn’t guess with the snow we are having today) and Xavier has been asking for an umbrella…. the same day that I bought it it rained a bit and he went outside for a few minutes to try it out…

Here is Simon doing some housework with Colin….

When he bends down Colin’s feet can touch the floor LOL

Xavier and Colin got some bath toys at X-mas…. one of the toys had bath crayons with it… Colin is great with them and Xavier… well he gets a bit “over-zealous”…..

Notice the big “A”‘s

Like I said, Last Sunday was Simon’s Birthday… Xavier asked if he would have a Darth Vader on his cake like the Cake Xavier had for his birthday last year.

So Simon asked me to put the Darth Vader on the cake for Xavier and also wanted me to put the little “Dora” figurines that we have to make Colin happy…

Well… It wasn’t that big of a Cake and they didn’t all fit so I decided to just put Vader and Dora….

So I had a Vader figurine in one hand with his lightsaber ready to go… and I Dora in the other hand with a Party hat and her Hands up in the air… and decoration icing in the pantry…..

it was just too perfect and I couldn’t resist….

and of course Boots….. poor boots….

A little walk in the Park….

We had fun this morning going for a walk in the Park..

First we got to the park and played in the structures a bit and then went up the hill and found a little “house” that some kids made with branches…

Xavier thought it was really cool…

He made up a little story that he was the Daddy and that he had to build a fire… so he stacked up a few branches infront of the “house”… he then found a stick and went back into the house to find Marshmallows…

Colin stayed around a bit and watched Xavier attentively for a while… and played in and around the house for a bit…

But then went off to explore by himself… he actually went pretty far, once in a while looking back making sure that we were still there…

We then walked a bit more and and followed Rabit tracks and ski-doo trails, bird prints and a fallen tree… While we were following the Rabbit tracks Xavier found a Rabbit hole and we stayed there for a few minutes while he hoped the Rabbit would pop out…

Walking back home Colin fell asleep on my back… and I had an issue of Mothering waiting for me in the mailbox so I sat in the snow while Xavier played on the “mountain” in the front yard and had fun jumping off the Cliff…
