Easter Bunny Visited Canton GA

This morning we were so surprised to find that the Easter Bunny had come by our home and left us special treats. And later we found lots of eggs in our back yard. This all has been a very big deal to Owen. We are glad that the Easter Bunny remembered us.

Charly noticed her bucket full of treats as soon as she woke up. There was no stopping her from exploring.

She was very speedy getting the foil off. I was impressed, but then again, she is my daughter and I have taught her to love chocolate as a woman should.

Victory!

Owey's Easter Bunny surprise!

It's hollow?
He then proceeded to use it as a whistle.

Sharing is caring.

Ooooo! Caterpillar. Mommy was brave an let it crawl on her arm.

Checking out the loot. :)

Saturday's Easter Activity

This weekend we had a lot of family fun at the neighborhood Easter Egg hunt. It was a great practice run for the the "real thing". Both of the kids hunted out plenty of eggs.

The Easter Bunny came to visit, Owen was so excited until we got closer. Owen gave him his bottom lip and refused to visit.

Worms! Bugs are so cool!

One of the best parts is that the Canton Fire Dept came with their biggest truck. The kids got to climb all over it, to try on the gear and ask questions.

I love the goofy face on Owen. :)

This looks like Owen shoved Charly, but really he was running to help. Usually he is the one doing the shoving. Poor Charly.

Unsolved Mysteries

Just a minute to blog between baby bubble baths and being climbed on like a jungle gym. There are a few things I have been wondering about. First, who has been picking at my wall? It was a simple indentation but has gotten worst. I couldn't tell if it was Owen or Charly and then.... I caught her red handed. Mystery solved.

Next, while I was at the library with the kids earlier this week we spotted a large animal walking by one of the glass window that goes to the floor. Owen squealed, "It's a squirrel!" But it was bigger than a house cat. It was a dark reddish brown and really fluffy. It was cute. But I didn't know what it was. A little googling later... It was a Groundhog. I found this picture online, but our sweet little groundhog was way prettier. Oh and Groundhogs are the largest members of the squirrel family. Good call Owen!

Okay, I admit, this one is a little odd. But I have been wondering for a while how glitter is made and where are the factories? This is what I found.. "Although a significant amount of glitter is now manufactured overseas, the product itself was invented by an American cattle farmer named Ruschman during the 1930s, although some sources say he invented the product after World War II. His company, Meadowbrook Inventions, is still the world's largest supplier of glitter. Customers can order glitter directly from the company, in a wide assortment of shapes, colors, sizes and materials." They are located in Bernardville NJ in case you were wondering. Also, on their internet video they claim to have over 20,000 types of glitter they can make.

This last one isn't much of a mystery, only that I want to know what is the obsession with the diaper bag? My kids want to (and do) empty it daily. I hide it, they find it and empty it. Keeping it behind locked doors is the only useful deterrent. They seem to really love making messes and driving me nuts.

the host

I love it when other blogging friends post about books they have enjoyed so I decided to do the same. Honestly I didn't read much until I went on bed rest a year ago, but since then I have learned that I really enjoy reading. I just finished the host by Stephanie Meyer. I'm not going to give a full review, just that I liked it. If you like Twilight then you will like this one too. It's a different story but it does have the element of love being torn in different directions and making difficult decisions. There is some fighting and plenty of suffering too, all that is needed for a great story. :) Happy reading!

FYI

My computer is down. :( So I can't post any pictures.

Hopefully I will be up and running in no time.
