Another boring weekend

We didn't do much again. I guess I'm getting all of my strength ready for our upcoming trips.

This is tea that Thomas' mom gave me.
When you put it in water, it opens up into a flower. Pretty.

Laura did some arts and crafts this weekend.

She painted this one for Thomas.

Then she wanted to get in some practice for her American Idol debut.

Too bad that mommy's completely foregoing any funds to support her in this "art".
You may want to keep the volume low. It's a bit painful and I have no idea what she is singing.

More random pictures

I love my new camera.

She is really half her mother and father.

I put her on the counter and then she was sneaking rice out of the rice cooker.

The day after Easter

Laura and I went over to Thomas' for dinner on Monday. Thomas loved his chocolate alligator.
Laura got another Easter basket full of stuff.

Thomas said he was going to be an artist.

Laura was dazed especially after Thomas made up a song about poo.

That's right. Thomas is singing about stepping in poo.

Easter Sunday

Laura woke up at 10:45am. It's good because we did a lot today.
First we colored and decorated some eggs.

And ate some!

Then Laura opened her Easter basket given by my friend, Uncle Wonton.

Then we went to see Horton Hears a Who.

Then after a late lunch, we went to the playground.

Easter Egg Hunt

On Saturday morning in Roslindale, we went to the annual Easter Egg hunt with Thomas and his cousin Leah.
Thomas shook hands with the Easter bunny.

Laura didn't like the Easter bunny and wouldn't make eye contact.

The egg hunt started promptly at 10am and it was over in mere minutes. They only got a handful of plastic eggs filled with candy.

Then we stopped off at a local place for some breakfast.

Then a quick trip to Costco.
Laura and I ran some more errands the rest of the day but my upper back was acting up so we didn't do anything fun. Ugh. Old age is really terrible.

I did buy a new toy for myself: a Nikon D40!

Random

Laura dressed herself the other day. Pretty well coordinated, I must say.

Mop head

Cupcake.

Happy Birthday Thomas

Laura was invited to Thomas' 4th birthday party. She was so excited. She also got a great goody bag full of candy.

She didn't like the dots

She had to make a point about something.

Thomas was surrounded by all of his cousins and Laura.

Thomas got lots of books for his birthday.

Happy birthday Thomas. Cutey
