Meeting Mr. Bunny and fun with eggs

This weekend we took a trip to Hy Vee. It wasn't just any normal trip to the store this time.

I met the Easter Bunny!

I thought he was pretty cool. I really didn't want to have to leave him, but Mommy and Daddy told me that other kids needed a turn to meet him, too.

There were other fun things to do as well. I got to decorate my very own Easter cookie. There was lots of different colors of frosting to pick from and sprinkles to finish it off.

In case you were wondering, yes, it was delicious. 

I was also able to decorate a marshmallow bunny. I waited til home to try out that one. They even had wrapped it up special to take it with me. 

To end our Hy Vee trip, I finally was able to ride on one of the rides by the door. They always tell me 'next time,' but that never seems to happen. Until today! I picked to test out riding the helicopter and it was AWESOME!

And I couldn't leave without telling my new bunny friend, good bye.

To end the day, we went next door to Robin and Rachel's house. I got to play with lots of friends AND we got got decorate eggs! First we colored on them, and then we made them change colors dipping them in to the colored water. It was cool!

Story time

Every night I read stories with my Mom and Dad before bed. They each read me one book. We used to read on the chair in my room, but now we cuddle up on my big boy bed. 

 

I'm still loving my big boy bed! It's really cool!

I'm a Big Boy Now!

Guess what?! I got a new bed this weekend! This weekend Mommy, Daddy and I made my room a big boy room! It was awesome.

First, I got to pick out my sheets. I went with the construction ones:

Then, the work began. We took town my old bed, and then Mommy and Daddy moved in the pieces for the new bed. It's a really old and special bed. It used to be my Great Grandma Bonnie and Great Grandpa Bob's bed!

Just dancing the day away. Being excited for my new bed!

 

 First we tried it in the middle, then I did some measurements and we moved it to the corner.

And incase you're wondering: Yes, the proper way to do all of this is
while wearing a shirt, no pants/underwear and snowboots. Duh.

 Then we moved in the bed!

Yay!

 Here is my new room!

So far I like it a lot. I did fall out of bed Saturday night. That wasn't so fun. Mommy and Daddy came quickly to my room, and my awesome Daddy stayed with me for the rest of the night in my new bed. On Sunday, they put up the bed rail that was on my old bed, and that seems to have made things better. I just like sleeping near the outside edge and the pool noodle trick just didn't work with my sheets.

 

Overall, I LOVE IT!  

Stuck!

I was playing at Robin and Rachel's house and thought it would be fun to stick my head through the railing...luckily I wasn't stuck for long! 

 

Family Time

I started off my Sunday with some artwork with Daddy.

Later on, we took a walk to the park. I love being outside whenever possible. For the most part I walk all the way there, but I'm glad Mom and Dad bring the stroller when I'm ready for a break.

Of course I played on the slide!

 

 

And then I had fun on the swings, too. In fact, here is a fun comparison from April 2013 to now.

 



Hope you are enjoying Spring as much as I am!

WARM WEATHER!

The weather has finally warmed up, so we've had LOTS of outside time at Amy's. I love it! 

 

Cheesy date

I had a lunch date with my Mommy. Cheesies are awesome. 

 

Car shopping!

This weekend we did something quite new! We went car shopping! My Daddy was looking for a new car because his old one needed really expensive repairs. I liked getting to look around at all the cars, but I really liked getting to ride in them AND the cookies that they had for us to eat.

We spent a long time there in the morning, then we had to go back after nap. Everyone was really nice. They let me color on paper and one guy printed me a special note.

I think car shopping is fun, but Mommy and Daddy said we won't be doing it again for a long time.
