Happy Easter

We started off the Easter weekend on Saturday by dying eggs. The kids had so much fun. Holden was so excited to see how the eggs turned out....

very proudthe finished product. Holden wanted to eat one of the eggs but as soon as he cracked it open he said "ew it stinks, throw it away"next, we stuck with the Knapp tradition of making a "nest" out of a towel and leaving it for the Easter bunny to fillHolden was very proud of his nestlooks like the Easter bunny made a visitanother tradition we started with the kids was planting "magic" jelly beans....we told Holden that they would grow into a surprise on Easter morningHe remembered as soon as he woke up to check on the "magic" beans. What do you know, they grew into lollipops. checking out all the cool stuff the bunny lefthe has been asking for this Gater Golf for a while now.

He bent over and ripped a hole in them, by the end of the night it was down his leg......good thing it did not happen in public

A Day in the Life

Holden and Maddie are pretty much non stop all day long. I snapped a few pictures while they were playing nice together. Here, they wanted to play "school" and put on their backpacks....

little Maddie is ALWAYS looking for things to get intoshe sits down for 2 seconds before she is at it againknocking over furniture and throwing clothesguiltyhe felt really sick that day that's why he was allowed to have his soother. We have it down to nap time and bed time only (good luck to us)Maddie was going crazy like always so I turned the camera on to record her and wouldn't you know it, she calmed herself right down. They always stop what they are doing when the camera turns on of course.

Maddie loves shoes

Little Maddie's newest thing is going into mommy's closet and trying on all her shoes......If she ends up liking shoes as much as her mommy, we are in trouble

Teaching Atticus some tricks

Holden absolutely loves giving Atticus his treats. He makes him shake a paw first before he gets his treat. He has to do this every night before bed. This is the best video I could get. Holden always stops performing when he sees the camera on him

Future Iron Chef's

I bought the kids this play kitchen and they LOVE it!! Holden loves to cook vegetable soup and popcorn. Maddie enjoys talking on the phone and washing dishes. For the most part, they play nice together but there have been a few fights over who gets to cook the food.

My Birthday

We celebrated my 32nd birthday at my parents house on Saturday. We got to see the Hunger Games during the day and then to my parent's for dinner and cake. I had a great birthday with my family. Here are a few pictures of Holden helping me blow out my candle (yes there was only one, we did not want to burn the house down)....
