Coloring Eggs

The boys colored eggs at Nana's house :D

 Ashley helping Kaedyn who was way more interested in cracking the eggs and eating them ...

 Noah didn't want me taking his picture... lol.. but I did anyway!!

 Two eggs done....

Soaking egg

 Kaedyn stuffing his face with egg ...

 Lots of eggs

 Nathan loves eggs, he was having a good time...

 Kaedyn thinking "why color it, when I'm just gonna eat it anyway?"

 Daddy helping Nathan

 Ashley, Kaedyn & Nana ....

 Loooooooots of colored eggs

 Kaedyn decided that egg needed a close up......

 More eggs...

 And Mr. Kaedyn, wondering ...... if maybe, just maybe, he can get away with cracking open another egg...

Easter Egg Hunt 2011

Kaedyn is currently in Birth to Three for Speech Therapy ... he picked up Nathan's non-verbalness ...  So the center he goes to threw an Egg Hunt and we decided to go ...  We were told it would have the Easter Bunny, Lunch, and an egg hunt.  They split the clients into groups based on their last names. 

So we got there .... and they had balloons outside...

 Got pictures done with the Easter Bunny - Noah and E.B.

 Nathan and E.B. .... we were surprised he went up there and wasn't all that scared...

 And Kaedyn who thought E.B. was creepy and had a look on his face like he was going to eat him.... didn't want anything to do with him....

 So we went back for the egg hunt and Kaedyn was watching them hide the eggs (the little cheater!)

 Nathan was just patiently waiting

 Here is Noah trying to give the whole wink/point look ... I caught him mid-look but let me tell you, it was so hard to hold back the laughter on this one....

 The egg hunt was in the fenced off play area ....

 The kids all grouped up at the door.  Nathan is in front, Kaedyn behind him and Noah is leaning down beside him...

 When the doors opened, Nathan was the first one out - and the rest of the kids were like "look at him go" and then realized "oh yeah, we can go too" ....

 Kaedyn (red) and Nathan (blue stripes) finding eggs ... like it was super hard.  LOL.... and the little girl, I just wanted to steal her and bring her home with us.  So cute... 

 Nathan took a moment to sit down and relax ... the girls here, they all were reaching over and putting eggs in his bucket... LOL...

 Noah looking in some harder areas ...

 Nathan checking out the play equipment ...

 Down the slide!! (after he made an egg go down the slide)

 Kaedyn following his brother ...

 Noah's bucket is all full (we kept saying we should have brought bigger buckets and stuff cuz the babies had tiny ones and Noah had a typical sized one.... lol...)

 Kaedyn in FULL MOTION .........

 Love this girls face paint!!  Her and her sister were both painted up and adorable!!

 Noah playing around.... 

Artwork

We've been doing some fun artwork with the toddlers ...

These are just paper, glue and crushed up fruit loops.  You separate the fruit loop by color in baggies and then crush them and then you sprinkle the crumbs on the glue designs ....

These are Nathan's (top) and Kaedyn's (bottom) Hungry Caterpillars ....

Nathan's Birthday Fun

We went with cousin Ashley, her boyfriend, Nana (my mom) and Papa (step-dad) to Chuck E Cheese on the 17th (Sunday before his birthday) ....  and he had a blast, he loves playing there.  Which is where I'm glad that he isn't *typical* autistic.... but he does get over stimulated and tired rather quickly.... 

This first picture, he's mad because the "Feed the Dog" game is out of tickets and he knows he is suppose to get tickets...

 His Superstar Birthday sticker ...

 This photo amazes me because I don't often get the looking at and smiling photo!!! 

 He looooooooooves the tubes.  Above he's gone down the slide and below is Noah trying to help him get up into the tubes.  The "steps" are super high for Nathan and he can't get up there on his own.... or so we thought.

 Nathan ran off on me as we were finishing up our meal and I was searching all over trying to find him and couldn't, I finally yelled to Dennis "I can't find Nate" and he started looking, as did Noah ... Then when I got to the tube area, I stopped dead, there were his shoes, on the floor.  So I turn around and Dennis is right behind me - I said "I think I found him" ... looked up the entry area and sure enough, he was on the third step.  He got up there all on his own.  Later we discovered that he grabs the step and then walks his bare feet up the wall until he can get on the step - LOL... little stinker is creative!!

Here he is with one of his prizes, his glasses! LOL... love this picture

 His homemade 4th Birthday cake!!  It's suppose to be a dinosaur but I think it ended up looking more like a dragon or Loch Ness Monster...

 And Nathan ENJOYED the cake :)

On his actual birthday - we didn't do to much.  He took a couple of pictures to school to share with his friends, and a treat bag.  He wanted to wear Elmo to school so he did.  When he got home, he was tired and he crashed early - we didn't even get to have cupcakes.  LOL.... but over all he had a great day.
