We had a wonderful extended weekend with my parents and Micks mom down from the U.P. We celebrated Nolan's second birthday on Sat. and of course Easter on Sunday. Saturday we started the day at Domino's Farms for an Easter Egg hunt, boy was it a joke! You had to pay $5 bucks a head to get in. It would have been an additional 5 bucks per kid for food to feed the goats (I was thinking ahead and brought a whole bag of cheerios, the goats need grains too right? I think Ill carry a diaper bag until my kids are 18, you can fit everything in there!) So they advertised the hunt to have 20,000 eggs! Not bad for five bucks right? Well I think 30,000 kids showed up! Some kids didn't even get an egg!! What counts is the boys had fun, and they did. I will not be returning next year. Later that day we had a little shin dig for Mr. P. We carried on our tradition this year and asked him what he wanted on his cake. His request was "pizza" So the cake had a slice of pizza on it. (I will post pics on the 15th when he actually turns 2) And the BIG news.....Nolan has been geared up for days now and the time has come. He gave up his Foffy! When you ask him how old he is he replies, "2, noooo more foffy" while shaking his head no, Priceless! Giving up his pacifier was really easy. We also took him out of his crib for his own safety. That on the other hand, not so easy! The kid will not stay in his bed!!! Not only that, he's waking up about an hour earlier now too! UGH! Kyan was way too easy, he wouldn't get out of his big boy bed. In fact, he would scream, "awake!" in the morning for us to go get him! Duct tape, saran wrap? Anybody have any "legal" ideas to keep Pie in his bed? Im all ears!
Kyan has had another milestone too! I took his training wheels off his bike! He is doing great, well minus the fence post he ran into twice! Ouch! He needs to work on getting on and going by himself, not that coordinated yet. He'll get it! The second time I let him go he rode the length of the block! YaY good for you KY!!!!!! He's had really good behavior lately, I think its because he likes seeing Pie get into trouble.
Easter Sunday was a hit for the boys! The Easter Bunny left eggs all over our back yard. I filmed the boys collecting them. Their personalities really shined during the hunt. Nolan ran around like an animal as fast as he could to get them, Kyan....too busy looking in each one. Our parents left around lunch time, prob excited to get away from the chaos we always offer them when they visit! Thanks for everything you guys! Sure is nice to have a break, you help so much when you are here.
Kyan is on spring break this week and we will be seeing Auntie Wind and Aunt Becky from the U.P. this weekend! They will be taking the boys on Sat. so I can sleep and Mick can study. 1.5 wks left of law school!!! Who's counting anyway?
