Easter Egg Hunt

Hadley hosted her first Easter egg hunt Saturday. We had 7 children, 123 eggs and perfect weather.  I remember how much fun Easter was as a child and those memories came rushing back as I watched the children enthusiastically gathering eggs. What a blessing it was for all us parents to bring such joy to our children.

New friend for the garden

Never thought I would be one to put statues of animals in my yard but the things I would do for my baby girl.  I have been in the market for a fawn but wasn't having much luck.  I needed to find something that was heavy enough that Hadley couldn't pick up and carry around.  As luck would have it we stumbled  across this sweet little fawn.  I brought it out to the yard today and Hadley was ecstatic.  Makes me want to turn the yard into a zoo.

Hadley's Tudor is complete!

You probably have been wondering what we have been up to since we haven't posted anything for awhile.  I just haven't had the time to sit at the computer long enough. Grandma Chichi came for a visit and I have been playing catch up around the house.  One of the little projects being Hadley's cardboard Tudor. It took longer than I thought because I just kept adding things as I went along. I finally I had to say enough is enough or she would be 16 by the time it was done.  Here are some long awaited photos of the finished product.

Table for two

Hadley has her very own table and is she excited. Once she finished helping me put it together she crawled up on the chair and gave me a big grin. It made her look like such a big girl.  I then spent the rest of the afternoon helping her on and off the chair. Too cute!

As for the Tudor, it  is coming along but progress is slow. I hope to have it done by next week. 

Big girl at the park

Went to the park with some friends who brought some electric airplanes and their extra large dog Princess.  Hadley had fun being in charge of Princess and watching the planes. She is growing up so fast.

The building of a Tudor

We had a few large boxes left over from Christmas that I wanted to turn into a castle for Hadley.  My idea was to make it look like the Disneyland castle but I think I set my sights too high.  After a few months passed I finally came up with an alternative, a Tudor style house.  I am so excited about this Tudor that I actually drew plans.  I get to be creative and make something for Hadley in the process.  I will post the final project as soon as its done.

Original castle idea...scrapped

Daunting task... no thanks

Is this not the cutest?... So excited 

The start

Happy Valentines Day!
