Wordless Wednesday - A Trip to the Easter Bunny




The boy's went to go see the Easter Bunny on Sunday. They were super excited!

Isaak thought he could tell the Easter Bunny what he wanted like he did with Santa Claus. His only want is, "Play-Doh."

Mica was surprised that he didn't talk. We mutually decided that the Easter Bunny is a boy because he wears a bow tie. We also decided that he both hops and walks.

The boy's got an Easter Bunny mask to wear. I think they look creepy, but a funny way.

Meet Super Lightning!


  • Mica was playing outside this weekend.
  • He was talking with the neighbor's next door.
  • All the sudden he took off inside; he came back out wearing his super hero cape.
  • One of the boy's he was talking to said, "Hi Mica." 
  • Mica said, "My name isn't Mica now. It's Super Hero Lightning!" He was running around like crazy. It really looked like he could take off flying!
  • He'll be so stoked when he finds out the Easter Bunny is bringing him and Isaak a mask and wrist guards. 
  • But...he's already told me that he want's boots to go with his super hero cape. The Easter Bunny isn't that rich or knowledgeable to know where to get orange boots to go with a super hero cape. ;) He'll have to do without those.

BuildaSign

  • I won an opportunity to make a custom sign from BuildASign. At first I had NO CLUE how I would use it.
  • I thought about making one for a garage sale that we plan on having late June or early July. But you can get garage sale signs for cheep and I don't know if I need or want a fancy metal sign for that. Not too exciting!
  • Then I thought about Mica's room. He has streets that run through his room, painted on the walls. I've already made many signs for his room that have the same look to them. They all have family names on the street signs. Then I found metal signs at Hobby Lobby some time ago that I added to his decor. The signs I made look like this {that is our last name}:


  • Mica's super into robots, so I'm going to make a few robots to stomp in his streets. I'll collage them out of different colored papers.
  • I shot my reference this weekend:


  • Back to the sign I won from BuildASign. 
  • I decided to make one for my nephew's Evan and Elijah that share a room. They have a transportation room. I made this sign for them:
  • Hopefully they like it.
  • Kids seem to like things with their names on it. I liked that I could put both of their names on it.

SmartLab Toys

  • I've mentioned a few times that Mica and Isaak are super into robots. 
  • Kostiuk Crew is hosting a giveaway to win a ReCon 6.0 Prommable Rover from SmartLab Toys. 

Stubby Pencil Studios

  • Kostiuk Crew is hosting a great giveaway for one winner to win a $75 gift certificate to Stubby Pencil Studios!
  • I could practically buy out the store for Mica! They have countless art supplies, crafts and building things.
  • One of my favorites was this: Totem City, which is half puzzle and half model kit.

A Trip to the Playground

Mica's been asking to go the park. Today we did, but it almost rained on us. We felt drops, and we were a long way from home. We got lucky! The raindrops didn't amount to much.

I told Isaak that he had to hold Mica's hand since I was pushing the stroller. Usually he says, "No," but today he agreed. I had the stroller for when Isaak gave out with walking.


They went down the slides together.


Isaak's totally self sufficient with the playground equipment this year!


Mica kept saying, "Yee Haw" when he was on this bouncing dino.
