Our weekend was pretty uneventful. Sean spent both days putting up a new shed in the backyard to replace the roofless one and I spent 4 HOURS putting a play kitchen set together for Nana's house for the kids to play with. Evan was so excited when he saw the box, but he started to cry when I opened it and about a million little pieces fell out. I almost started to cry too! Another reason to cry is I have parent teacher conferences tomorrow evening. I just need to remind myself it is the last one as I sit in my room until 8:30 tomorrow night. My parent turn out usually ends up being about 1 parent in the entire 3 1/2 hours. I'm anticipating another slow night tomorrow. In other news, I got my haircut tonight. I was ready for something different so I now have bangs and a lot more layers. It will take some getting used to, but so far I like it!

Birthday party

We had all our family that was in town over today for a backyard BBQ to celebrate Evan's birthday. It was a beautiful outside today, we couldn't have asked for a better day. We all had fun visiting and Evan had fun playing with all of the cousins. Here are a few pictures from today.

Mr. Potato Head cake I made for Evan. I think it turned out pretty cute!!

Trying to blow out the candles...

How old are you Evan? 2!!!!

Happy Birthday Evan!!

Easter Weekend

Evan and I headed to my sister's on Thursday since I didn't have school on Friday. We had a fun weekend with family. Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Dying eggs with Evan - his hands were rainbow colored by the time we were done

On Friday morning we headed to Como Zoo. We were there at a good time as you can see. It was lunch time for the big cats and we got to see the tigers and lions very close up. Literally just some glass in between us!

1st Easter egg hunt = not so successful

2nd attempt at Easter egg hunt = fun had by all!!!!

We spent Easter Sunday at my cousin's house and Evan had fun following the big boy cousins around looking for eggs and playing on there play set in the backyard. We will definitely need to make a few trips down there this summer!

As you can tell from the new blog background, someone has a birthday coming up next week. I can't believe my baby will be 2 already!! Wow!!
