Sugar on Snow!
We went to a great sugar on snow party at Uncle Pete and Aunt Cyndi's house. They loved the sugar on snow but Dominic especially loved playing with the other kids and looking for moose on Gee & Papa's land. We didn't find any moose but we did find lots of frogs and some deer hair caught on a fence. Dominic learned about electric fences (we told him it would sting like a bee and he was VERY careful around it) and touched some frog eggs. Daddy caught a frog for him to look at and it jumped into the water!
Easter
Dominic slept in on Easter sunday so unfortunately there weren't too many eggs for him to find. (Miss. Samantha was a little too observant!) Luckily the Easter Bunny went to Gee & Papa's house too! He loved his Easter basket and finding eggs. The Easter bunny brought him "Born Free."
Perhaps an odd choice
but we had watched "A lion called Christian" the week before and Dominic was enthralled! He insisted that we get a lion! I explained that in the movie we watched the lion got too big and they had to bring him to the jungle. Dominic responded with "Yes, but when he was little he slept in their bed!" He even came up with a plan to go get a lion at the zoo and bring 
it home. I told him that it probably wouldn't be a good idea to go into a lion's cage and he told me that it was ok because he was big now!
Decorating eggs
We went through two batches of eggs since the kids were having so much fun decorating. This is really the first time Dominic has been interested at all. I had the traditional, dunking dye as well as these dye filled q-tips that worked really well. When those ran out I brought down regular q-tips and the kids used those to color on the eggs. They even ate some of the eggs!
Pink Bunnies!
Wow, I'm so far behind again but I will try to do better!
The week before Easter Dominic told me that he wanted to make pink bunny cookies for Easter. I thought that was a great plan so Dominic helped me make the cookies and they both helped decorate.
