Easter

Easter morning Mattingly awoke to find what the Easter bunny had left behind. He was happy with his new Captain America toy and puzzle the most! (the candy was good too, but thankfully he doesn't ask for it much) Then we all dressed in a little pastel purple and headed off the church. And then off to my parent's house where Mattingly found legos from when grandma was little. He needed a little help from papa building a house though. It was a beautiful day.

Apple Hunt

Last Saturday we headed over to Lyman Orchard for an apple hunt for Easter. It was number 1 windy and cold and number 2 crowded like I have never seen before! It was nuts when it was time to be let inside the apple hunt area. These parents acted like they had been starving for days and wanted the apples or like the prize for getting the apples was a Porsche. Mattingly was knocked over right away. After a few min he was back in it and picked up about a dozen apples. 4 were prize apples. We got 2 bags of corn to feed the ducks, a big cookie and 2 little caramel dips. Not sure about next year! It was fun that cousin Lleyton came though!

Construction Zone

We went to my parent's house last week to celebrate my birthday. We had lunch and took a tour of the new building at Elim Park. Mattingly wanted to go inside to see what he had watched the men working on.

Playtime with "daddy's grandma"

Last week we met up with Mark's mom and went to Stay and Play in Old Saybrook. Mattingly had more fun when we went to the Burger King play area after. Stay and Play has slide and ropes to climb on and a mini climbing wall to get on the playscape and few trampolines, a bus to play, and a top to spin in. There were a lot of kids there, mostly younger than Mattingly. He wasn't too interested in playing with them. He liked climbing up the mini climbing wall and going down the slide. We stayed about an hour and headed to Burger King for lunch where he met 3 yr old twins. It was just the 3 of them and they played well together.

To my aunts, uncles, and cousins (and Aunt Naomi)

This picture was supposed to be in your cards that I sent to you but my mom was absent minded and forgot to put it in. She even specifically took the picture for you. You can enjoy it on here I guess.

St. Patrick's Day

Mattingly made a little pot with a rainbow to hold the gold the leprechaun was going to leave for him. He found it in the morning with his gold and also some green in the toilet. Sneaky guy. Of course I had to snap a few pictures of my 2 little ones in green. Then we headed off to "daddy's grandma's". We thought it was going to warm up but it was really cold, windy, and cloudy. Despite that we took a walk. And then around 4pm just as we were leaving the warm sun came out; of course!

Outside

It has been so warm here lately we've been going for walks here, both of the grandma's, to the park and playing in the yard.
