Ainsley Art Cuteness

If you ask Ainsley what she wants to be when she grows up, she will tell you 'An Artist!' without hesitation. I'm continually impressed when she comes to show me what she's drawn recently.

She loves giraffes

And Elephants :)

She's getting good at writing her name.

Ainsley made this puppet show all by herself.

She drew and cut out the people by herself, and put the blanket over the chair.
She makes me smile. Enjoy the show!

Easter

Easter this year was really fun! Ainsley is old enough to know whats going on and really get excited.
Saturday we went to a couple Easter Egg Hunts :)

The first one we hit was just crazy! This tiny circle of way too many kids just grabbing as much candy off the ground as they could. Tom and one of our friends, Mark, could not stop talking about how this was NOT a 'hunt'. So we decided to make our way to a second hunt.

This one had a much bigger space, but still just had the eggs laid out where anyone could see. The men folk have decided to do their own egg hunt next year. Tho the kids enjoyed themselves!

that afternoon Aunt Roxanne came over to help us paint eggs!

One of the eggs was cracked so we gave it an appropriate face.

Sunday the Easter Bunny came!

Aunt Roxanne spent the night and so the bunny brought her a basket too.
Any Dr. Who fans out there might appreciate one of her eggs.

Spring Stuff

Wow, am I getting behind again... here's some of the things we've been up to this spring.

Caterpillars! Tom saw a commercial online for caterpillars you could order and take care of until they became butterflies. Ainsley has been obsessed with caterpillars for a while now, (I blame the very hungry caterpillar myself) so she was THRILLED to see them. It really was amazing to see how tiny they start and how big they grew each day.. almost doubling in size. You weren't supposed to get them out of the container, but Tom's wrapped around his little girl's finger.. so she talked him into it. :) We had a lot of fun setting them free after they became butterflies.. so much fun, we forgot to take pictures.. so, here's some caterpillar pics to keep you happy.

Swinging Sisters!

This is Nora's first time on a swing

She is definitely a fan!

And of course Ainsley needed a try.

and here's my fuzzy pink animal!
It was a little chilly outside.. that is my reasoning here.
The video of her crawling in that thing cracks me up!
