He is 5!

It has happened. My baby has turned 5! (It doesn't help that he usually greats me everyday with "Can you believe I am 5 now mom?") Well, this was definitely an occasion to celebrate and we didn't let it pass. Over the weekend we had a birthday party for Nathan at the local bowling alley. We invited his classmates, some friends and the cousins of course for a grand total of 18 (19 if you count Will) excited kiddos. Nick and I were up into the wee hours of the night the making bowling shirts for everyone that were personalized with their names on the front and a graphic along with "Nathan's Pin Pals" on the back.So on Saturday we started out at Nathan's second t-ball game, then on to his party and in the evening we went out to a Mexican restaurant to celebrate Opa's birthday. What a whirl wind. And of course we couldn't let Monday (his actual birthday) go by without mention so he brought cupcakes to celebrate a school and we went out to Carrabba's with the adults for his birthday dinner. (Can you believe this boy loves calamari?) We all had a ball and are still in disbelief that Nathan has now turn 5!

The Games are On

We have officially started our T-ball season. Nathan's first game was last week. His league in an instructional one, meaning that they don't keep score and their are lots of dads out there making sure the little ones know which way to run and what team they belong to. As an unfortunate coincidence the first team we played against had the exact same color scheme for their uniforms and the little guys were a little confused at times. However, everyone had fun and we are looking forward to more games.

Easter

For Easter this year this year we did all of the traditional thing, we dyed eggs, went to Church, did the hunt and had a traditional Easter dinner of hot dogs. Well, I am not so sure about that last one but it was quick and easy, and after a full day as well as dying eggs the night before with two little ones it sounded like a good idea.
Both Nathan and William got into dying the eggs and we ended up with some pretty ones. For the most part it was a mess free experience. Go figure! Opa took both of the boys to Krispy Kreme after Church so the Easter bunny had time to do his work. Once they arrived they boys were both eager to get hunting. Nathan was all about finding everything the Easter Bunny had left for him, whereas Will was more interested in finding an egg full of candy eating it all and then moving on to another find. Just what a fat little boy needs, lots of candy.
