Alphabet Wall

I got a few ideas from Pinterest for an alphabet wall in the boys' playroom. It is obviously still a work in progress. I have some letters that still need to be hung and a few letters that still need to be decorated in some way. 

I laid all of the letters out on the floor first so that I could figure out how I would hang them. This was before Grant woke up from his nap and crawled right over all the letters, scooting them all around. 

This is what I have completed so far. The C and M are finished, I just need to figure out how to hang them.  The rest of the letters haven't been decorated yet. 


Sorting

Evan helped Mommy put away all of the Easter eggs and other decorations. 

Evan and Mommy sorted the eggs into piles of different colors. 


Camouflaged Rain Boots

The Easter Bunny brought Evan and Grant some camouflaged rain boots but unfortunately they were too big. We took them back and exchanged them for the correct sizes. Grant's new boots are Cars instead of camouflaged, but they are super cute as well.  Now everyone is happy and safe walking around the house with boots that actually fit. 
Evan now has rain boots that fit! 

Happy Times


Evan wanted to "hold" Grant, so I put Grant right in front of Evan. 

About 5 seconds later, they are on the floor wrestling. This is an everyday occurrence at our house. 

Another Haircut

I trimmed Grant's hair again. This time instead of only trimming around his ears, I trimmed all of his hair (or as much as I could get to while he kept moving around). 

Easter Dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's House

The Easter Bunny left something for the boys at Grandma and Grandpa's house too! 


Evan wanted to see what the Easter Bunny had left for him. 


Daddy helped him look through his bucket. 


Grandpa helped Grant look through his Easter bucket. 

Grant got a little doggy. 

Grandpa and the boys. 

Grandpa was showing the boys some nursery rhymes on youtube. 

Aunt Tara and Grant

Papa was probably telling Evan a story. 


Coloring Easter Eggs

After lunch on Sunday, we took the boys nice church clothes off and let Evan color Easter Eggs. We used Kool Aid instead of the actual egg coloring kits, and it worked really well. Plus, it smelled really good too. 

Mommy helped Evan stir the eggs around so that they would get the color on all sides. 

He was so excited! 

His turn to stir the eggs around. 

Waiting for a few minutes. 

He checked to see how they looked. 



While Evan was busy coloring Easter eggs, Grant had fun playing on the window sill. 




Concentrating very hard on moving the egg into the carton. 


He did it! 

Two of the eggs cracked when they were boiled, so he colored 16 eggs.  I thought they turned out pretty good. Next year I will remember to get some blue Kool Aid.
