Diaper Dolls

Now that we don't need diapers anymore, Eva is putting them to good use... ALL the babies have diapers on! She does a pretty good job too! She's so busy taking care of her babies. I went in and saw that her light was turned off, so I asked if she wanted it on (thought she couldn't reach it). And she yelled at me, "SHHHHHH...MY BABIES ARE SLEEPING!!!

What a HUGE difference between girls and boys!!!

FOR SALE!

I will take another outdoor picture in a couple weeks- all the tulips and daffodils are starting to pop up. But otherwise these are the FINAL photos! YEEEEAAAAAHH!!!
Only a couple very minor touch ups to do- nothing that would make or break a sale...
...now we just have to hope that someone wants to buy, with the housing market the way it's been!
Eva's old nursery... it's really hard to say goodbye to this house! We worked our tails off in there!

The AUBURN House

HOLY COW.... THE TREE IS DONE! And so is the rest of the room, excluding a couple of trim pieces that I couldn't put up with a BROKEN nail gun! Not to worry though... Brian took the nail gun all apart and put it back together... that aughta do it!! OMG!
I wanted BJ to stand under the loft (Collin's old bed) to show that you CAN walk under it... if you're 5' tall... (Do you know how many times I whacked my head on that?!?!) NOTE TO SELF: Loft=6' tall!
Here are some other views- I really love how it turned out- hopefully someone else will too!

Eva's Broken Egg...

Collin's EGG

Coloring Easter Eggs

We had SO much fun this year! Daddy even got a little creative... proving me wrong about using scotch tape to mask off areas of the egg! I prefer the good old fashioned "hold half the egg in the dye at a time" method- but who am I to stop "scientific advancement" in the egg coloring world! Did you also know that you can use a PLAIN OLD white crayon to write on eggs-- as opposed to the expensive specialty EGG crayon!

Eva had a "Collinism" too- I was trying to get her to point to her egg so I could take her picture, so I asked her where her egg was... She had a matter of FACT answer that it was "in the COFFEE!" Brian and I got a kick out of that one!!!
AND LOOK.... I DO EXIST!

BJ's First Time Shooting His Gun

1. Make sure the safety is ALWAYS on!
2. Learn how to load the gun...
3. Practice loading the gun and practice safety rules- like pointing the gun away from ALL people when loading!
4. Aim...
5. Shoot...
6. Stumble backwards because you weren't aware of how hard a gun kicks a 79 lb. boy!

BJ was thrilled as you can see! And Mommy and Daddy had a turn too... ya know you're a REDNECK, when you are outside in NY (in MARCH)... teaching your boy how to shoot... IN YOUR YARD!

Eva in the Box

What a goofy kid! I bought these under the bed bins for BJ and Collin, but Eva keeps stealing them to fill them with stuff... she especially likes to put HERSELF in the bin!! They're handy because they unfold and zip across the bottom and have a hinged lid- so if you don't want to use them they won't be in the way... another great IKEA invention... unfortunately when Eva takes them, & empties them to play in... it defeats the purpose of putting things AWAY!!!!
