We went to Ray of Light Farm in East Haddam yesterday for their Easter egg hunt. It was a lot more organized and fun this year but still FREEZING cold! Mattingly wanted to collect all of the big eggs but I told him he had to leave some for the other kids. When he filled up his egg carton he was able to collect a little prize. He chose dog stickers. They had an egg toss, and decorate a visor and the egg on a spoon walk but Mattingly didn't really want to do that. Maybe next year. We were going to on a hayride but then it started to sprinkle. Hopefully the sun will be out next year!

My(mommy's) birthday

Mattingly and I went out to eat with my parents on my big 30th birthday. Mattingly dug into my chocolate mousse and liked taking pictures so here's one of me on my birthday.

Chocolate covered

hands! Mattingly wanted a candy in my purse from a baby shower....

Baking Browines

Mattingly decided to help me bake some brownies one night. Here's the happy helper.

Easel

I thought I posted these but I guess not. Grandma Mariann bought Mattingly an easel for Christmas so here he is hard at work painting a masterpiece.

"Mr.Wonderboy"

"Mr. Wonderboy" came to Elim Park in Oct. to perform at the new theatre they have there so Mattingly came along with me to see him. Well he talked about him ever since and would watch the videos with Grandma Linda and ask about him. The same man is in another show "Triple Esperesso" with 2 other men and we told him "Mr. Wonderboy" would be back in March. So Mark, Mattingly and I went to that show and Mattingly had a great time. He sat through the whole thing carefully watching. After we met him and took a picture with him eventhough he didn't really want to but I told him he'd be happy if he did. So he isn't that happy in the picture but he's happy now that he has it. He watches videos from that show now with Grandma Linda too. Who knows we may have to fly out to MN to visit him.

Sleeping

Not a whole lot has been happening but my sister told me to post stuff anyway even if it's just a picture of Mattingly hanging out. So here is a picture of him sleeping on the top part of the couch. Reminded me of my cats!
