Signs of Spring and Silly Things (AKA Mommy playing catch-up)

Okay, so I uploaded a whole bunch of pictures from my camera from the past couple of weeks. This is what I got--a look at our everyday life, and fun stuff, too. Enjoy!!
This is our crabapple tree in the front yard. Mark hates this tree! It's not the prettiest thing most of the time, but in the spring, it blooms. The buds start out red (top right of pic), turn pink as they start to open up, then turn into the white flower you see in the center.
Fingerpainting outside with Pooja, or eating the fingerpaints

Playing at McDonald's with Eileen and her boys
The McDonald's person had taken the trash can out of this little cabinet, and Christopher decided to get in the cabinet. He really had fun jumping out!

That's my crazy boy!

Okay, remember the nest? You can see Mama Bird on the branch, just to the left of the telephone pole. Daddy Bird is the red blob above and to the right of Mama.

Xander's First Easter Egg Hunt!! Gramma hid some empty eggs outside. Xander didn't have any pants because he was playing in the wet leaves that Zack was pulling out of the sandbox.
"Look, Xander, here's an egg!"

He thought the acorns were eggs. Can't blame him, though, they are shaped the same!

Mark and the boys came in from outside and had to tell Mommy the exciting thing that happened. Mark saw the rabbit hopping by the gate, and then it stayed in the yard, not really running away. Zack wanted a closer look, so Miles walked with him. They got about 5 feet away from the rabbit before it finally took a big hop. Miles noticed the hole in the ground, and when Mark circled around to get a better look, he saw baby bunnies. He said they looked like moles, very little fur, eyes closed, no ears. One or two of them were trying to crawl out of the hole. I saw one trying to poke its nose out of the hole, but I couldn't really get a good picture of it. It's still a cool little story, though!

When we came inside, it was bath time. I just had to mention the word bath, and Xander was running for the tub, and he jumped in fully clothed. He actually turned the water on, too.

Here's a quick video I like to call "Oink." Just watch the face he makes! I know I'm biased, but he's such a cutie!!
