May Flowers

Mathew helped me plant annuals in the front yard. He didn't want to dig holes, he just wanted to hold onto the plants until it was time to plop them in the ground.


He also helped me start vegetables from seed. He wanted to horde all the little seed packets like playing cards.


My knee was the perfect bench for him to sit on while we worked.


His little fingers were perfect for poking holes for the seeds.


And of course, watering was his favorite part.

Nathan didn't have much interest in helping me this year. He was far more interested in catching frogs. His hands look so big around this tiny little frog!

Wipe Yer Paws!

That darn Easter Bunny left tracks all over our house!

Mathew thought the tracks were great! He giggled as he hopped along the bunny trail looking for his Easter basket.

Nope... not in there! That's one sneaky rabbit.

Aha! Found them! After winding through the entire first floor, the baskets were no further than a few feet from where they started :)

Dress Up

Halloween has long since come and gone, but Mathew still likes to dress up. He frequently asks to be a puppy. He'll wear his costume while tending to the regular business of doing puzzles, reading books or building towers.

One of those moments...

Sometimes you get lucky and have a camera nearby...
