Easter

We spent Easter weekend in Fillmore this year. Before leaving on Friday we had a little Easter egg and basket hunt at our house for Weston. It took him so long because he had to eat a jelly bean out of every egg he picked up. Maybe next time I'll cut the egg quantity in half:)
 Easter baskets were found!
 In Fillmore we went to the egg hunt at the park.
 Then came home and played outside for a while. Wes went on a little four-wheeling ride just out back. He could have stayed on that thing all day long if we let him. He was in heaven.
 We made cute little easter cupcakes.
 They were yummy.
Then we went to the sand hills to roll eggs. Such an interesting tradition. It was my first time.
First things first, making the path. I'm sure Kyle would have made me do this but being 8 months pregnant I got out of it. 
 Weston took a little bit to understand what he was suppose to do, but he thought it was cool.
 He thought it was even cooler to play in a big hole of sand. He kept saying "Big sandbox! Big sandbox!" a million times when we were there.
Back at the house. Weston playing torturing the new batch of kittens. Nothing makes this boy happier.
 Egg hunt at the house.
 It was such a great Easter weekend, we had a blast!

First run through the sprinklers

Looks like spring is here. Finally! I remember how fun it was running through the sprinklers as a kid. Weston couldn't get enough of it yesterday when we turned them on for the first time this year.
We've been playing and spending a lot of time outside lately.
 5 more weeks until the baby arrives.
I am still waiting for the "nesting" instinct to kick in.
It's not happening.
 I should probably buy and stock up on diapers for starters. When I was pregnant with Weston at this time I was going crazy organizing, cleaning,  making list of things I need to buy, worrying about getting things ready, starting projects, etc...  It's different this time around.  I just don't have the energy or just end up not caring. I nap when Weston naps.  I've never been a "napper", but it's what I do these days. Playing legos and trains with Wes for an hour or two seems to zap all my energy. And I'm okay with this because I'd rather sit and play with my boy than many other things...like housework for example. I procrastinate it and go on walks with Wes instead. I avoid going to the grocery store or any store for that matter because it's a huge chore. And after reading this I realize I'm making myself sound like quite the "go getter" aren't I? I'm not usually a lazy person but I certainly have been lately.
 When I got pregnant I really wanted three things to happen with Weston before the baby came.
1. Transition to big boy bed.
2. Potty trained.
3. Lose the binkie at bedtime
Yeah...none of these things have happened. I was a major slacker I didn't even attempt any of these transitions. Surprisingly though,  I am not stressed about it. It will be good for Weston to get use to having his brother around for a few months, and then I'll start all those fun things. Or maybe just wait until he's four.....four year olds with diapers and binkies, it's cool right?
