Happy Easter!

Hello to All! It has been awhile since we have posted last so I have a few pictures to share, and some funny stories too.
We hope that all of you have a very Happy Easter with your families this weekend!

He could have cared less about the eggs!


Clayton had a blast!


He even shared his candy with his little brother


So much for dyeing Easter eggs!

New & Funny Happenings:

SAM
- Sam is good at communicating what he wants without using words. He points, claps, and shakes his head "yes" and "no". He follows directions on command, like "Sam can you bring me the ball?". He understands us completely. Now if he would just talk so we could hear his sweet little voice! :)
- Sam loves bath time and can be persuaded to do most anything by simply asking "do you want to go home and take a bath?" He and Clayton still fight over who gets the front :)
- He fell off the 3rd step of the playhouse. He face planted on the ground and is lucky he didn't break any bones or knock out any teeth
- He likes to get my hand mixer out and drag it around by the cord like a dog
- He tries to copy everything he sees us do, and he loves to be in the kitchen
- He is constantly getting into the lip gloss but hasn't figured out how to unscrew them yet - yay! Next thing I know he will be copying me and putting it on himself!
- He likes to put on mine and Kevin's shoes if they are left out where he can reach them
- He smiles really big when you clap for him
- He is super ticklish under his chin. I can't even clean his neck without him flailing in the tub
- Still the messiest eater ever...
- He loves to figure things out. We find him trying to put the house key into the front door, or setting off the car alarm and dropping the keys like "who did that?"

CLAYTON
- Clayton is starting to fib to us (already?!). The other day I heard him in his room with markers and he dropped them and I asked through the door - "Clayton do you have the markers in there?" (he knows he isn't suppose to) - and he says "NO mommy, that was just a monster!" - he isn't a very good fibber yet :)
- If he hears me arguing with Kevin he says "Mommy - are you back talking daddy??"
- He is really into drawing pictures of people and writing his name. So much fun!
- He is obsessed with scotch tape and likes to tape things. Once he even taped his mouth shut - I'm okay with that too :)
- Clayton has had the "sharing bag" at school 3 different times. He has taken both Buzz Lightyears, and most recently took this book - which the kids (and teacher) loved!
