We spent Easter weekend in Tuscaloosa and got lots of goodies.
Checking out the Easter baskets.
Daddy was the only one who would wear the bunny ears.
Showing off his new plaything.
“Nemoooooo!”
Luke loves lollipops though he tends to make a big mess with them.
Now she wears them.
Luke wore them too – for a nanosecond.
Matching hats.
Ready for Easter Mass!
Since A-Day was a weekend we were going to be in Tuscaloosa anyway we decided to take the kids to their first “game”. It was free and would give us a chance to see if it would be worth taking them to a real game in the fall (spoiler: it isn’t).
Luke decided not to nap in the morning. Bad decision Luke.
Pop and Aunt Jen came with us for backup in case one of the kids needed to head out early. Since parking and the game didn’t cost anything it wasn’t a big deal if a certain little boy needed to go home early in the second half because he got cranky due to skipping his morning nap.
Gwynn enjoyed the snack aspect of the game.
“No no no! Don’t run a toss to the short side of the field. Come on Kiffin!”
“I think these slot receivers will be pretty good for us down the road”
Luke will be taking the field in about 17 years as an offensive lineman.
“Hey, I heard you. Are you saying I’m fat?”
Luke pointing out who the blitzing LB would be on this play.
Thankfully the NCAA allows athletes to get fed as much as they can eat so Luke won’t go hungry.
Football takes a backseat to cotton candy.
We’re working on getting Luke to wear an actual Alabama hat. Maybe by the fall.
Gwynn wouldn’t stand next to inflatable Big Al by herself.
Pink Alabama hat! Yay!
Getting a little tired…
…and she’s out.
We kept cousins Grace and Kate one Saturday evening and everyone had a blast!
Dinner inside? No way.
Waiting on the ice cream truck to come. I mean, it’s Saturday evening, it’s going to come right?
Nope, no ice cream truck. This picture was taken 12 hours later.
Eventually daddy had to go get some ice cream bars from the store because 2 year olds don’t take disappointment too well.
Laughing at silly Kate.
Time for some backyard fun without the threat of cars whizzing past.
We played a few games of tag that they seemed to enjoy even if Luke had no idea what was going on.
Mimi comes over once a week to have dinner with us and this time we went to Happy Gilmer’s in Chelsea. It was our first time. It’s a hot dog/hamburger type of place.
Gwynn enjoyed her food. Anything with ketchup is a big hit with her.
The kids weren’t really into getting their picture taken on the big Adirondack chair.
Luke quietly eating his food (for once).
On to the Chelsea Sno Shack. We had to put a bib on Gwynn for the first time in a long while so she wouldn’t ruin her shirt.
Nom nom nom.
Luke’s reaction to being told he couldn’t eat this every day.
It looks bigger than his head.
At 19 months…
Gwynn got a piggy bank from Grandma back around the time she was born. Over the past few months she’s started to enjoy putting money inside. I’m not sure she understands that one day she’ll actually use the money she puts inside.
Once she’s older we’ll be able to teach her about what the coins are worth, but for now she just likes dropping them in.
All smiles.
She loves stacking the coins on top of one another.
Silly girl.
