Easter 2011

Where did my baby girl go and who is this nearly grown child in her place?

She found the silver egg in the church's easter egg hunt so she got special prizes!

Then we went to my parent's house where we found this tiny baby bird hopping around. He was under my grandparent's car when I took this picture. So cute!

Sydney had to hunt easter eggs inside at mom and dads because of all the rain we've had.

Then my parents sent my nieces on a scavenger hunt to find their prize!

The pretty egg with money inside has been found!

Sydney fell asleep on the way home...with her blanket on her head.

Then she came inside and crashed. All that egg hunting wore her out!

Birds

I've gotten a couple of complaints about the fact that it's been a month since I posted anything on here. Well, I sincerely apologize. I just realized that I never posted these pics to the blog, just to facebook, so here we go. At girl scouts, Sydney made a bird house that attaches to the window and has a clear back so you can see inside the house and watch the birds and hopefully, see some baby birds. When we got home, Sydney had to write "birds only" on the house, incase there was any confusion...

It's now been attached to her bedroom window for about a month now. No bird yet...

HOWEVER...the birds did decide to build a nest outside my bedroom window. I noticed yesterday that there was some stray...nest making material just gathered out there on the ledge. I looked again today and the nest is now complete! So, even though they chose not to nest inside Syd's house, at least she gets to experience the whole process anyway. She's excited for some "hatchlings."
