Easter Egg Hunt

Our church Easter Egg Hunt was this morning.  We gathered in the Family Life Center and sang some songs.  Then, after a few instructions, we went out and found our eggs.  We then went back in to open them up.  Meighan didn't want to do any crafts so off we went to get groceries before coming home by noon and eating lunch.

Dawson's "girlfriend" in the nursery.  She just LOVES him!

 

 

Bein' silly

This little light of mine....

 

 

 

 

Pumbaa is not far away right now!

Lion King!

We got to see "The Lion King" today!  Meighan had been doing a countdown every day since at least three weeks ago and FINALLY -- today was the day!  My mom had gotten the tickets (apparently right when they went on sale 'cause we had REALLY GOOD SEATS!) and she met us there.  It was again a very chilly, snowy day like it was when we saw "Beauty and the Beast".  Meighan kept asking what time it was and when the show would start.  I decided we had time to go out and check out the souvenirs.  She decided on a stuffed Pumbaa.

Here's the few pictures of the day:

 

I think she was pretty excited to see this show!

 

The lady in front of me offered to take a picture of all three of us.

 

This was the only semi trailer sitting out (probably for advertisement).  I'm assuming they have more than this.  I can't imagine they can get all those costumes and lights and set pieces and puppets all in one semi.

Virtuoso?

Dawson wanted to play the piano this morning.  So I opened it up and set him down.  He looks so serious!  It was somewhat difficult to get him to look up for a picture!

 

 

 

He REALLY likes music!  I think I see piano lessons in his future!

Meighan's Special Talent

Lots of Photo Ops Recently!

Well, now that we've been home with Dawson for a year and I've FINALLY posted pictures of our trip, it's time to show some fun recent pictures!

 

 

 

Stacking the cups all by himself!

 

 

 

And Daddy forgot to put the lock on the cabinet doors so the kitchen was all "Pet Freshed"!

 

Taken at Meighan's school on Valentine's Day when we went to help with the V-Day party.

 

Praying before supper.

 

 

Presidents' Day was warmer than MLK Jr. Day so we went to the zoo despite it snowing a wet snow.  It didn't last long but we were inside buildings for the most part.

The Henry Doorly Zoo has 5 lion cubs being raised by their mother and aunt.

 

 

 

Then on February 21, we had a snow storm come through here.  It took a while to get started but once it did, we got about 8"!  We went out and played in the snow for a little while before it got dark.

 

Yes, he has pink mittens and pink boots on.  We couldn't find his mittens and he doesn't have his own boots right now so we used Meighan's little ones.

 

Using the flash while it's snowing creates a cool effect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meighan picked out fleece for a no-sew throw and I made this while she took her nap.

 

 

The day after the snow storm.

 

 

 

 

 

I found a pattern online for a crocheted headband crown.  It's really for babies but there's also instructions for bigger sizes.  Meighan wanted a yellow one (because it's "golden").

 

 

 

 

Playing in the snow while it's NOT snowing!

 

 

We put different mittens on him this time but they wouldn't go through the sleeves of his coat.

 

I got here.  How do I get out?

 

DEEP SNOW!

 

 

 

 

So I found some "boy" hat and mittens on clearance so he doesn't have to wear pink ones!

 

But we'll wait to get him some boots until next year!
