A first on Easter

Tonight, Carlee told her first sequencial story. It went like this:

"Yeah, I grabbed the bunny (grabbing motion) and I open it! (opening motion) And I *air chomp noise here* !!! Member?!?"

LOL

She was talking about how we caught her under the dining room table this morning with her chocolate bunny.

Happy Easter!

Well, we hosted an Easter potluck this year, so we were busy running things, and we didn't get to take too many pictures. But Carlee had a blast this year! She had 4 friends over, we ate, had an egg hunt, and painted more salt dough Easter eggs, and of course all she's had to eat today was candy and cupcakes until she finally ate dinner. lol

(her basket was completely full at this point and left behind, there weren't many eggs left.)

Hope everyone had a great Easter!

Eggstravaganza!

Today, the main base had their Eggstravaganza event to celebrate Easter. We really wanted to take Carlee, since this year Mineo might not have an Easter event. Carlee and I had to wait for Daddy to get home from duty before we could leave. By the time we got to leave, it was 11:00 but the event was from 10 to 1. We were hoping that the egg hunt wouldn't be until later, but unfortunately by the time we got there, it was over. Thank goodness I had brought a few eggs with candy, and then a friend let us have some of his kids' eggs. So, we hid them for Carlee to find. She had a lot of fun. Enjoy the pics!

Carlee waiting for Daddy to get home... she says she was being a princess, but I thought she looked more like a ballerina. :)

Chasing bubbles:

"Look! There's the bunny!" (he had been on break)
Carlee ran all the way to him:

Getting Ready for Easter

Today I co-hosted an Arts & Crafts event for MOMS Club at a friend's house. I made these vegan friendly Easter eggs out of salt dough. The kids loved it, and Carlee had a blast. They also got to meet my friend's bunny Fuzzy. They loved him. :) Enjoy the pics!

Learned something new

The other day, I was sitting on the couch reading a book (A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle - it's SO good!) and Carlee was sitting next to me. She started humming a song which she had never done before (she's hummed but not a certain song on purpose.) After she was done with the song, she looked at me and said very excitedly, "Mommy, I sang the ABC's in my MOUTH!"

Too cute. :)

More pics from Party

My friend took a few pics of Carlee at the party, and just emailed them to me. So, I thought I'd share!

Carlee whacking at the pinata!

Carlee's first experience with Laffy Taffy.

Argh! I'm a PIRATE!

Carlee went to a friend's pirate themed birthday party today. Unfortunately she didn't want to wear the pirate teeth with her friends at the party, but she wore them at home, so I had to take a picture. She had a blast, we might have to rent the jump house for Carlee's birthday, too, because she loved it!
