G and the Toad Stool

Our friend Nicole took this photo of Graham while we were visiting her at her place in the Catskills. He looks so grown-up!

Planting

After several rainy days i finally got some plants in the ground. I'm going for nothing but color in the front yard this time, skipping the veggies this year.

Last weekend was Beacon Open Studios weekend. Here we see Graham inside one of the art trucks where he was having a fabulous time. Liam's man cave on wheels was a big hit. More about that later. I'm pooped. 

Here he is with some of his friends. 

Easter egg hunt pix at long last

At long last I've gotten around to posting the pictures from the Easter egg hunt and brunch in our backyard. What a lovely day it was, we enjoyed some unseasonable warm weather. Check out Graham and a few of his friends looking for the egg-shelled loot. Taking a cue from Graham's school, I wrote every kid's name on an equal amount of eggs so there would be no fighting over who got more.

Dress up!

We were over at the house of a 7 year old girl the other day and Graham thought it would be fun to try on her princess dress. She has so many. He's never played dress up before, usually that's the girls' territory and he gravitates towards sports. But not to worry, an hour before the princess dress came on he was in the park hitting baseballs. He has not asked for the princess dress since.

Easter and more

Today was Easter. We held an Easter egg hunt in our backyard on this beautiful sunny spring day. A few of Graham's friends & their parents came, hunted eggs, ate brunch (and candy) . There was much activity and Graham was pooped by the end of the day. He fell asleep on his daddy's chest.

More photos of the egg hunt coming soon.

Easter Eggs

Graham and I got into the spirit of spring last weekend by coloring some eggs. He usually doesn't like to do any project that seems like a craft, but he really enjoyed coloring eggs.

After we dyed eggs, w went to the annual Easter Egg Hunt madness in Memorial Park. Its always cold and crowded, but we still go. Here Graham and his buddy Milo pose with the Bunny after raiding his candy basket.
