Ball Meets Car Tire

When we were backing out of the garage this morning to go to swim class, we heard a very loud pop. Upon further inspection this is what I found. A basketball has no chance when up against a moving car. I'm thankful that it was just the ball and not something like his bike. I'm pretty sure the lesson about leaving toys behind mommy's car didn't sink in. Since the incident Etienne has told everybody that mommy popped his LSU basketball. Yup...always the fault of somebody else.

Lucky Ladybug

We found this little lady in the house today. She got to spend a little time in Etienne's bug barn. We looked at her with the magnifying glass and counted her dots. Etienne wanted to feed her yogurt and rice cakes, but I thought it would be best to let her go and find her own food.

Cascarones

(Confetti Eggs)

Our neighbor's mom made these for our little guy. Daddy and Etienne had a great time breaking them on each other :)

Coloring Easter Eggs

This is the first year we colored Easter eggs. Once we got passed all the questions, he accepted the tradition and was able to enjoy the simple task of placing the eggs in the colored water. Mommy on the other hand didn't find it so simple. If it wasn't the tidal wave stirring, glass tilting and making a mess, it was dropping the eggs and cracking them. All in all, it wasn't too bad. We were able to keep 10 of the dozen eggs. Looks like we'll be having egg salad sandwiches in a day or two :)

"Going to Get the Nana"

These were the words Etienne had been singing all morning. We were going to get the Nana so she could come and visit and spend the Easter weekend with us. On the way there I spotted this field of bluebonnets and knew that on the way back we would have to stop and take some pictures of Etienne and Nana. We ended up getting some really cute pictures, but Nana got roughed up a bit. Etienne needs to learn how to be gentle with his Nana. Although a little brute, he loves his Nana dearly!

Triple Threat

When you just can't decide what toy to play with, you may as well take 3 out of he garage. More fun outside today. It was cute watching Etienne go from one to the other then the other, sure to give each one a ride and smiling the whole time. I'm sure glad he doesn't fight the issue of the helmet...yet. Gotta protect that precious little head!

Backyard Bubbles

With such great weather lately, we have been able to spend more time outside. Seems like anything that is messy is great fun. Bubbles are soap, right? So when Etienne spills them all over himself I can hose him off and count it as his bath, right?
