Easter, plus other happenings

Dear children,
You say the funniest things every day and I wish I was better organized to record them.  Here are a few recent fave remarks:

Bastian:
"Dad, I can run really fast with my poopy pants!" (we have never used the phrase poopy pants in our household)
"I love you and you love me mom." (a commonly used phrase these days)

Luthien:
"I'm going to town on this bread."
"I'm growing moles and hair on my arms so I must be growing up!"
"Dad, my arms don't reach all the way around your tummy..."

And now for a few pictures......

we finally got one of these, crucial for our new method of learning art; these are your first drawings with it

we love talking about fairies, goblins, and nature adventures (sooo Waldorf, as Dad would say), which somehow transpired into reading these ultra cheesy fairy books with our great friend Sebastian

playing with the "nest" material with preschool playgroup friends, more fun than dying the Easter eggs

showing off a new haircut- one for you, Luthien and one for mom, by none other than stylist Rome Rapier

showing off a homemade hot chocolate face

more creations: note the marker on the chalkboard by Bastian, and Luthien exploring the many ways of using/holding chalk as well as patterning

inspired by dad, Luthien, you decided to take up the art/business of grooming and styling too!

a new friend's doggie, Red, and awesome backyard!

 Easter was a nice, relaxed day with quite a few fun things to wake up to, in addition to gifts and treats from relatives.  New books, a few "natural" treats, and soft dolls were the highlights.  Bastian, this is the first time I realized how much you love candy- or perhaps you only now have developed the demanding method of requesting it, and stubborn attitude when you are told "no."


"Carbon-offset Chet" for you, Bastian!

Mom was a little obsessed with these....got them at her new "job!"


Bastian you have just transitioned to sleeping in Luthien's room!  It lasts until usually about 2 a.m.!

Love,
Mama
