Easter Eggs

We had a grand time with Finn dying Easter eggs today. We only cracked two in the process, so not too shabby. He really got into it! You will notice the mess gets progressively worse as the pictures go on.

Getting set up:

Okay, so you put the eggs in here:

Let's just put them all in at once:

Oh, wait, I was supposed to use the dipper:

Oh, that isn't worth it, just dive in:

It's blurry, but he was just too cute and happy to not put it in:

We waited for the eggs to dry and then put face stickers on them:

Lumberjacks

Sean borrowed his Dad's chainsaw and we have been clearing out the overgrown areas of locust and sumac and we want to open and clean up the stonewall area. Sean has been having a grand time cutting and we have a lot of brush to clear. Luckily, Finn is always ready and willing to help.

C is for Cookie

Its a rainy day in NH so Finn and I made oatmeal cookies. He loves pouring flour into the mixer and sampling along the way.

Splash Splosh

Finn is already an outdoors man through and through. The other day I put his shoes on and he immediately ran to the door ready to go outside. We have been spending hours outside everyday in the beautiful weather, and I still have to come up with some enticement (like getting Lily a treat) to get him inside lest a full-blown tantrum occur. I am so happy he loves it so much.

This weekend, we went over to his Nana and Papa's. They have a lovely brook running through their yard and Finn couldn't get enough of the water. He has some little galoshes, but those quickly filled with water as he dived right in. He is fearless and completely oblivious to the cold water. He is just busy exploring and picking up rocks and sticks. Too much fun.

Spring

We are seeing a lot of signs of spring in Deerfield. We have a nice patch of snow drops that have bloomed and all of our bulbs are popping through the soil.

Happy St. Patty's Day

Finn made sure to wear his green!

Cousin Construction Co.

On Wednesdays, Finn and I get to hang out with his cousins during the morning. Last time, the weather was so beautiful, we spent the entire time outside and Finn learned a lot about construction and excavation from his big cousin.
