Weekend

It was the warmest St. Patrick's Day ever with a high of 82. Who could resist not spending most of the weekend outside? Any time that we go to a playground, Alena thinks that we should have a picnic. Friday her dreams became a reality when we went to the park with Kaelyn and Brielle. Alena was running around the playground yelling "I am having so much fun!"

Saturday Alena and I went to Pinkalicious: the Musical. It was her first experience with the theatre and she loved it. Pinkalicious is a book about a girl who eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink herself. We celebrated by making pink cupcakes. Yes, Alena did end up turning pink. Her hands were stained from pink sugar and her leg was stained pink when her new dress got wet and bled on her. Grandma gave her a Pinkalicious doll the next day and Alena decided that her pink cow, previously named "Pony," now should be called "Goldilicious" (the name of an imaginary unicorn. It is all very confusing.)

All that fresh air can really wear a baby out.

Alena hiding Easter eggs. She partially buried most of them in mulch.

Nora found an egg!

The water table is so much fun!

Those crazy baby pants.
