Ruffles on her tush and a sort of half smile. We have gotten much bigger smiles out of her than this, we just haven’t been able to catch them on camera yet.

Happy Easter to everyone. We had fun at the Hoboken Ellsworth’s this year. We met the Easter Bunny, dyed Easter Eggs and went hunting for them after the Easter Bunny hid them.

The Easter bunny visited Colin’s daycare. Hannah got to come along, although she slept through it all. This picture shows the initial reaction of Colin when the Easter Bunny walked in. He wasn’t quite sure what to think. That is Hannah in the black thing sitting on the table.

Colin stayed mostly next to me, except for one venture out to sit next to his favorite teacher Miss Karla.

After several songs Colin finally warmed up and stood up to sing and dance a bit. His buddy Brandon stood up and was dancing around from the moment the bunny walked in, he’s not a shy boy (that’s him in the striped shirt and khakis).

The closest Colin did get was when the bunny handed him a balloon bunny. His favorite part was his snake Easter basket all full of goodies.

Sunday morning Colin hunted around in his diaper for the Easter eggs mommy and daddy had dyed the night before and the Easter bunny hid this morning. The rest of the day was spent relaxing and then going to the park for some serious chalk drawing.

Colin sure does love his baby sister!

Hannah wore tights for the first time. SOOOO cute!! Of course she did a very lady like spit up all over her dress right before I was ready to take pictures. Oh well, pictures don’t stop just for spit up….

We went to Pennsylvania today. First up: Crayons. Next: Ditches. Colin loved the modeling clay that mommy turned into a shark (that he could subsequently color)… and the Canal Museum was a lot of fun for him—he even got to play with a boat.

The Canal Museum also had a big train section downstairs (the Coal part). I love this photo. You’d think from the look on Colin’s face that he had just smacked Hannah on the head and that’s why his smile is as big as Hannah’s frown is pitiful.

Colin saw a bag of pita chips I was eating while nursing Hannah (she doesn’t let me sit down and eat very often, so I have been eating portable food lately) and he asked to have some. Being a tired mommy I just handed him the bag. He started munching on them and then a few minutes later gave me back the bag, I didn’t think much of it until he started walking around with a little plastic bowl of chips.

He had found a bowl, who knows where and whether it was clean, put a handful of chips inside it and gave me back the bag. He did for himself what I should have done for him. He’s a great little boy.

However, we are going on day 5 of the Nap Strike of ‘08. We are in negotiations to end it soon, wish us luck.
