master mind.

Everett playing with pegs. AKA master mind.
I'm just getting him started early. He really likes it. I pulled it out to play with an older child who was visiting and Everett couldn't leave it alone.

little boy growing up.

I can't believe he'll be three in August.

green floor!

There it is... and a sneak peak of the cabinet colour.

kitchen Demo...

So, all the Easter stuff happened a day or so before Easter. We spent Easter morning disassembling our kitchen. I had to scramble to take pictures because I realized it would never be like this again.

Matt pulled out the cabinets as I emptied them...

The kitchen before...

We went on the most adorable, albeit cold and wet, easter egg hunt organized by some good friends. There were four 6 year olds and four under 3 year olds.

Happy Birthday Grandma Jane!

Happy Birthday Fiona!

still with the cars and trucks.

Matt loves them just as much. Maybe more. He and Everett have been building a collection of matchbox vehicles from Value Village since January. I love it when they sit down and line them all up perfectly, naming each one and grouping it with vehicles of similar purpose.

grateful for health, new snow and warm(er) temperatures.
