Easter Sunday

Tommy


Tommy and Grandpa

Tommy, Nana and Cole

Sunday morning, the boys woke up EARLY. We peeled ourselves out of bed and came downstairs just in time for daddy and the boys to spot a bunny hopping away in the back yard!! Could it have been...the Easter Bunny?!?

Soon they discovered their Easter basket filled with balls, bubbles, race cars and Thomas the train coloring books. It was so funny...Cole's new favorite word is "WOW!!" So there were lots of "wows!" and "woahs!" Once Tommy realized that the colored eggs had M&M's inside...the hunt was on!

We went to Nana and Grandpa's for Easter Sunday and the boys looked so cute in their little sweater vests. :) Still recovering from being sick, we kept things fairly low key. They played with their matchbox cars and showed Uncle Michael all their trucks. They watched Thomas and Friends and blew bubbles on the deck. We really had a nice afternoon and both boys seemed back to themselves after their nap. I was so happy to see my best pals feeling better.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter holiday!

Sick little bunnies...

We've had a rough couple of days here with a stomach virus. Cole had it first and we were holding out hope that Tommy wouldn't get it. But today he woke up sick. Poor baby!

We had planned to spend the day at the Red Sox game, but we're going to watch it at home instead. Gorgeous day here in Boston!

Happy Easter Everyone!

Hanging out in "MAN TOWN"

It may look like a pool house...but it is actually a man cave!! Today the Riordan boys were hanging out in "Man Town", enjoying some golf on TV and a little Hershey's chocolate. (We were celebrating their "18-month" birthday.) It was the perfect place to unwind after a day playing ball in the yard with dad. Mom was allowed in for the special occasion. ;)

It is so rare to get a shot of these two lately. They are so fast that I barely have time to click! The fact that they are both looking at the camera here - and sitting still - is a miracle. :)

Favorite foods...

Tommy is fearless when it comes to trying new foods. Cole will watch Tommy intently. If Tommy likes it...Cole will give it a try. Otherwise, his lips are sealed. Luckily, Tommy pretty much likes everything, so therefore the kids have a pretty varied diet. Here are some of their favorites:

Mango, Blueberries, Strawberries (chocolate covered ones too), Bananas, grapes, cantaloupe, watermelon, oranges, apples, pears, lemons, raspberries -- Broccoli, asparagus, spinach, green beans, carrots, red peppers, celery, tomatoes (tomato sauce), olives, beans (black beans, baked beans) -- Mashed potatoes, french fries, sweet potatoes, potato chips -- Chicken, fish, hamburgers, hot dogs, meatballs, American chop suey, turkey burger, cheese -- Pasta, rice, couscous, mac & cheese -- toast (whole wheat and raisin toast), pancakes, waffles (plain, blueberry and strawberry) -- Ice cream, yogurt, apple sauce -- Peanut butter, jelly (new) -- Babyccinos (steamed milk), milk, chocolate milk, juice (orange, cranberry, bluberry, pomegranate, apple) -- Crackers

This is getting too hard! When they were little it was so easy to list things out. Now they are just growing up so fast and learning and trying new things everyday. My sweet, curious little boys.
