Easter

We feed our kids dog food.
....or Doodles is messing with daddy by pretending to eat dog food.

All the cool babies are wearing one glove and bunny hats these days.

Robo-Elly?

Doodles trying to mail himself to a less crazy family.

Who knew poop bags could be so fun?

Doodles tasting his latest creation (it's flour and water...)

Elly joins in, but isn't quite sure about his recipe...

Nathan trying to say he wants to play with puppy's leash.

Trying on Elly's shoes.

Elly doing a 100 piece puzzle all by herself.

Making pizza.

Discovering that Nathan learned how to sort shapes at some point.

One half of one of Nathan's favorite books.

Doodles spraying himself with a squirt bottle.... for fun?

Easter present from grandma!

Dying eggs.

Elly dying eggs, Nathan being totally disinterested in dying eggs.

Doodles wants more bubbles.

Lay off me... I'M STARVING!

Doodles is no sure why we're standing in a field when it's freezing cold and super windy.  And what is he supposed to do with this bunny-shaped bag?

Elly heard us say we were bringing Nathan's snow suit just in case it was cold and insisted on wearing her snow pants... still dirty from playing in the sandbox at school.

Elly hunting down eggs.

Doodles wasn't sure what was going on, but it seemed like fun.

Checking out the Easter egg loot.

Nathan is not a fan of the Easter bunny.

Nathan is a fan of running in and out of the baseball field dug out while Elly waits to see if she won a raffle prize.

Elly buckethead!

Back to dying Easter eggs because our camera has the wrong date and this picture is out of order....

Doodles contemplating life's great mysteries while eating crackers.

Making Easter bunny crab pretzels.  Not a mainstream holiday tradition, but it will probably catch on soon.

Bubbles!  And for some reason Nathan isn't there.

Hauling rocks.

Rolling eggs down the slide.

Bubbles!!!!

Elly stamping her face with a stamp that came in an Easter egg.  We later learned it didn't come off easily.

Grandma needed a stamp on her nose.

Doodles the photographer. 

Say cheese!

Mommy looked like she needed a hug...

Cheers!

Elly searching for her Easter basket.

Elly already helped Nathan find his basket hidden in the washing machine... his favorite hangout.

Elly spots her basket!

I only stumbled on this scene, but I'm guessing there was some kind of Christmas tree fire?

Nathan has been watching Elly too much and wanted to try mopping.

Our bubble-crazed dude.

Nathan just wanted to eat bubbles for Easter brunch.

Elly trying to be like Nathan...

Watering the trees.

"I'm a giant" (in the deepest Elly voice possible)

Doodles found an egg.  Then got bored with trying to find eggs.

Doodles with rubber chicken (a la Florida grandpa) fleeing the Easter egg hunt.

Apparently to water a bucket full of bubble wands.  I'm assuming he wants to grow more bubble wands.

Elly raking the grass while someone hides the eggs again.

Searching for eggs.

Dr. Elly trying to figure out what is wrong with Doodles. 

Doodles working on a new hair gel.  The key ingredient is scalloped potatoes.

We had ham with a side of hamming it up for grandma...

Nathan playing peek-a-boo in his new classroom.

Elly getting ahead on the shoveling. 

Look puppy, a squirrel! 

Elly wanted to eat like Doodles, sans silverware. (I never thought the bad influence thing would be a two way street...)

Butterfly princess of dominoes. 

Dominoes game gone bad.

Elly posing for the camera while doing perler beads.

Salad spinner.  Best toy in the house. 

I asked Nathan to help me with the crossword.  He dove right into it. 

Still working on that crossword...

Elly checking to see if Nathan has poopy pants...

Puzzle time and DJ Doodles.
