Happy Easter!

Nothing like a 6:30 am forced smile.

Blessings on your Easter Celebrations!

Pre-Easter Festivities

Timothy went to his first Easter egg hunt today at the auditorium.  It was beautiful outside, but they have learned their lesson when it comes to planning the hunt for the park.  Timothy got in there with the rest of them and had a great time.

Then it was off to the 4-h building for baby animal day!  Last year, Timothy didn't want anything to do with the animals, but this year he was all about it.  He really enjoyed petting the lambs...

peeping at the chicks...

and most of all, the baby goats.  :)  Don't ask me why, but he was making goat sounds the entire way to the park and lit up when he saw them.  He also gave this friendly guy a kiss.  :)

Discovery

I love having a two year old.  There is literally something new everyday, if not multiple somethings, to discover.  This morning, it was pockets.  What pure joy!  :)

Even when you are older, joy is so easily found in the little things...like the first flowers of spring!

Pattern Testing 2

 Two more patterns tested and approved for craft show production.  First up, a 16 crayon roll - each crayon has its own little home and then it gets rolled and buttoned up (I don't have any buttons yet, but it will after I go to Hobby Lobby).  :)  I love the bugs in jars...

Second, a similar concept but for cars!  This mom of a boy's heart skipped a beat when I saw this pattern in a magazine and knew my life was more complete.  (Only half kidding)  Pockets for 6 cars on one side and a little spot to play on the other.  When it is time to go, every car goes into its garage and the mat gets folded in half lengthwise, rolled, and buttoned.  It even has a strap for those little hands to carry!  Timothy has one coming in his Easter basket along with a new pack of hot wheels...here is hoping it will keep him occupied during the sunrise service and following breakfast.  :)

Isn't the car print fabric cute?!?
