Opening Day 2010.

I started this blog exactly one year ago. It was Tigers' opening day '09. The kiddies have certainly changed over the last twelve months.

Here they are supporting their team this year.

here comes Peter Cottontail.

The kids enjoyed the neighborhood Easter egg hunt again this year. Last year, Lincoln needed some prodding to gather eggs; this year he did a great job filling his basket. He also liked the Easter bunny! Good times for him.

Cassidy, on the other hand, didn't particularly care for the Easter bunny. Though after a while she did blow some kisses to the bunny. During the "little kid" portion of the egg hunt, Cassie grabbed one egg and then plopped on the grass. Pretty much didn't care about getting any more eggs. It was cute.

After the egg hunt, we dyed eggs. The egg kit we got this year: SuperHero Squad. Linc loved it.

cloudy with a chance of...marshmallows?

So the daycare center that the kids go to have two special helicopter candy drops each year - one for Halloween and one for Easter. I hadn't attended a helicopter drop until this year, but I'd heard a lot of cool things about it. After attending, I have to say it's a pretty neat thing for the kids. They do a marshmallow drop at Easter time where the kids all run and gather marshmallows that have dropped from the sky! They get to turn their marshmallows in for a prize. Here are a few pics from the event.

Showing off the goods.

And here's Linc sneaking one. I told him not to eat them since they had been on the ground, but how can a kid resist...and how can a mommy get upset?

the third month.

March came and went and I have zero blog posts to account for it. It was a busy month and, frankly, Cassidy was a bit cranky for the majority of it. She was getting some back molars and just didn't appreciate the experience. I think she's got ten teeth now so we're halfway to a mouthful of teeth...really, only halfway? Ugh.

I did manage to take some pics around the house so here goes...

This is Cassidy wearing one of my headbands. She loves putting them in her hair. Now we're just waiting for her to have enough hair to actually need a headband.

This is Lincoln posing with his shirt which reads: "Made in America with Greek Parts." He totally looks like a Greek boy, doesn't he?


Cassie has taken to climbing on everything. I believe the Little People garage was meant for cars. Cass prefers to use it as a jungle gym.


March brought a few days of lovely, spring-like weather. We took advantage and got the kids outside to play as much as possible.


Vroom...vroom...


Here are the kids playing nicely in the sandbox.

Actually, with this being Cassie's first year to play in the sand, we've found that her favorite sand activities include dumping the sand from the sandbox to the ground (we'll have to invest in several bags of play sand this year, I see) and eating the sand. The girl will seriously eat anything.

Cassie also enjoys playing peek-a-boo behind the doors in the house. Here she is opening the door with a nice, big smile on her face.

Here are big brother and little sister loving it up.

I absolutely adore this hat and finally got a cute pic of Cassie wearing it.

Matt is somewhere at the bottom of this pile 'o kids.

Happy belated March!
