Monthly Tree {April} & Easter

Some how I never got around to posting their tree this month so I'll post the one from Easter. I took pictures on the 1st but was going to get more eggs and never did.

The tree of course was done up for Easter with pretty sparkly Easter eggs. 

The ones hanging from ribbon I actually got on our trip to Indiana a couple of years ago.

The kids had fun on Easter. It was pretty low key this year. 

We had an indoor egg hunt which Wes LOVED. There were 14 eggs hidden in the kid's playroom, livingroom, and their bathroom. Next year I think I'm going to hide them harder and leave clues in the eggs to find the next. 

Oliver kept sneaking candy from the eggs which he promptly spit right back out lol. And Wesley had a nutritional breakfast of jelly beans  :)

Charlie did some snoozing of course lol

Mom came over and we had Crock Pot Lasagna for lunch which was delish.

And the boys had a blast popping bubbles. Oliver was SUPER excited about the bubbles lol.

And Wesley just wouldn't be a great big brother if he didn't teach his 13month old brother to hit the bubbles with a shovel lol

A Birthday Carnival

Oliver's party seemed to be a huge hit among the party goers. 

There was a ton of people there and to say it was chaotic would be an understatement. 

I had it all planned out how it would all flow and well none of that happened. The place was so big that the kids just kinda flew, but overall it was a great party and Oliver and Wesley had a BLAST! 

The location

Here are some of the details. 

A before of the Gazebo

And after

The games

The Candy buffet was a huge hit both with the kids and the adults

It included tons of different colorful candy and I made mini carmel apples, Devil's food m&m cookies, and Chocolate & Vanilla Cake pops.

Oliver loves these cookies

The 'Popcorn' Red Velvet cupcakes

Funfetti Clown cupcakes

There was also some rainbow swirl Chocolate cupcakes.

Along with the games and playground there was a 'photobooth' set up and Charlie and I made some cute little props to be used with it. 

Everyone really had a good time with this but o boy was it trouble! We had it set up on my backdrop stand and the wind kept knocking it over after we had a last minute change of plans on the set up. Thankfully a friend of our's figured out a way to tie it to the gazebo for stability and we were in business. 

Oliver loved being passed around. He was giggling all day. He loves attention

Oliver had SO much and passed out for 2hours after. We actually had to wake him up for dinner.

And the amount of awesome gifts he got was outrageous! He really is so very loved. 

Our house looked like a toy store exploded for a couple of days but we finally got it all put away. 

Thanks again SO much to everyone who came out to celebrate Oliver's special day. He really had SO much fun

Caught ya!

Oliver loves food.

Any kind of food.

And yesterday (3.31) he got caught twice, red handed sneaking food. 

The first time Charlie and I were hanging out on the couch watching a movie and I was cooling off Oliver some Mac n Cheese for lunch. We heard him playing in the kitchen, he likes to play with the Leap Frog Alphabet magnets on the fridge, and I asked Charlie to go grab him so he could eat. Charlie rounds the corner and says "Um, he's not hungry."

I instantly started laughing because I knew that meant he had found something to eat. 

I go into the dining room and see Oliver covered in CAKE! He had gotten what was left from his cake smash cake on top of a table, pulled it down into the floor, found a way into the tin foil and started chowing down. 

He, and we, thought it was hilarious! 

I got him all cleaned up and fed him, he of course still ate the whole bowel of Mac n Cheese. 

Me and Charlie kept watching our movie while Oliver crawled around playing and we look over and he had gotten my purse down from the chair and had found a 1/2 eaten Fiber One granola bar and was eating that as well! 

He's like a bottomless pit! 

Always, always eating! 

Always hungry or thirsty.

Always. 

He really keeps us on our toes and entertained.
