Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!  Although we're missing our extended family this Easter, our little family had a very nice Easter, complete with a visit from the Easter Bunny!  We hope that you all are having a great Easter surrounded by friends and family!

Easter egg-dying party with Aiden and Brice.

Hard at work dying eggs and painting Easter pictures.

And, a little fun too :)



The Easter Bunny!

March 2013

The weather here has been miserable this month--cold and rainy and several days of snow even (it snowed this whole weekend)!  It wouldn't be so bad if it was January or February, but it's supposed to be spring, and so far, this is the worst month of weather we've had all winter :(  We're trying to keep busy with inside activities, but we just can't wait for a little bit of sun and to be able to get back outside again!!

Here are some pictures and videos from the month that show us braving the elements outside and trying to keep busy with indoor activities.  There are also some pictures from Mother's Day--in the UK, Mother's Day is on March 10.  Needless to say, this was the coldest Mother's Day I have ever experienced :)  But, we still had a lovely day!  My boys took me to a nice breakfast, spoiled me with flowers, and even let me take a nice nap while they went out to run some errands.  I couldn't have asked for a nicer day (well, next year, I wouldn't mind a little sun :)

Nathan the butterfly!  The theme in music class this week was creepy crawlies and insects.

Make your own bowling alley inside the house.  What can I say, after spending so much time inside, we have gotten a little desperate for new, fun indoor activities.  

"Oops, I feel in the box."

Enjoying a Babyccino at our Mother's Day breakfast.

Happy Mum's Day!  This was my Mother's Day gift from Nathan (with a little help from our kids' club).

My Mother's Day flowers from the cutest little delivery man ever!

This is how we usually get around these days.  And, he insists on going everywhere with his back-pack (which he usually fills with candy :)

The Saint Patrick's Day festival at Trafalgar Square.

Cooking Class

Nathan made this lovely Native American headdress in the art room.

This week in music class, we learned about Ireland, including its animals.  That's a sheep on his head :) 
Giant Easter Eggs in Covent Garden.  He loved the Thomas the Train egg.

Driving the bus at the London Transport Museum.

Someone got an Easter package from Grandma and Grandpa.  He was thrilled!

Life-size Lindt chocolate bunnies in Covent Garden.

An Easter Egg hunt (well, actually Lindt chocolates, but they called it an easter egg hunt) in Covent Garden.  

A giant bunny!

After a fun morning at the London Transport Museum, the Lindt Easter Egg Hunt, and lunch with mom, he was so wiped out, he fell asleep on the bus on the way home :)

A giant chocolate Easter egg at Harrods.  You can take this home for Easter brunch for a mere £800.
