Labor Day

This was Rece at our local parade. I of course forgot my camera until the day of the parade. So nothing too exciting. Just the boys watching the parade.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!

We had a great mothers day. First time as a mother of 2!! I had a nice relaxing morning and we went to lunch with my family. Then we went to visit with Tony's mom for a little bit. Rece learned how to say Happy Mothers Day and it is so cute! And he helped daddy bring me my cards and breakfast in bed.



Me and my boys.



These are the 4 generations of moms we have. My grandma, me, my great-grandma, my aunt and my mom.

The Hunt

He had a lot of fun hunting for the eggs. He found about 10 on his own and then started to get a little bored. He had a harder time with the baskets I think because he didn't quite understand what the baskets were. Of course once he found the candy he was happy. In his baskets he got a potty training book, giant sidewalk chalk, a bunny straw, babylegs, and some candy. Carmine got some baby rattles/toys and some babylegs. Unfortunately Carmine missed the festivities due to sleeping in.

These are there easter outfits!



We did another egg hunt at my Grandma's OUTSIDE! It was freezing. Rece didn't seem to mind, but he didn't seem all that interested in finding eggs either. So it was a short lived hunt. One of the eggs he did find he decided it would be fun to squeeze it as hard as he could. That was pretty funny. And then we was banging two other eggs together. This was a fun age to do this. And I know it will get even more fun every year, of course until he is "too old" for it all!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE KENNY!

The Egg Coloring!

A White Easter???

This was really fun with Rece this year! I wasn't quite sure what to expect. So, I only hardboiled 7 eggs thinking Rece's attention span would only allow him to do that many. Oh, was I wrong!! So after the original 7 were done we did what we had left-another 7. After that he was still asking for more so we diverted him with stickers for the eggs.

At first I gave him the egg and asked what color he wanted. He of course said "GEEEEEEN!" So we brought the green dye to him and I told him to put the egg in. He put the egg and his hand in and didn't remove either. So, I had to prompt him to let go of the egg. By the second round of eggs he was ploping them in like an old pro! We let him dig the egg out himself. So by the end, we had 14 colored eggs and 2 colored hands. I am loving holidays with a 2 year old! I love starting all these traditions with my family. Carmine got to enjoy the festivities in his high chair. Which, was the first time in the highchair!

Rece did get a little carried away and started banging an egg on the table. Needless to say, we ended up with a couple of cracked eggs!

More on the Egg Hunt later!

Easter Bunny

We went and saw the Easter bunny today. Rece did much better then anticipated. When he first saw him he kind of freaked out a little but no real tears. So we just hyped it up a little and said that the easter bunny was going to hide eggs next week for him and to give the easter bunny kisses when he got up there. So he did just that! The lady taking pictures asked if we wanted another picture but we said nope that was perfect cause as soon as he was done he started whining to be picked up. And as you can see Carmine slept right through it!

And we got our new camera today!! So after I play around with it I will upload the first pictures.
