Egg Hunt

Lil Peanut's school is probably the best place I could of ever enrolled him in. The Goddard School in Longmont is an amazing school with great teachers and owners. Yesterday they had an egg hunt for all the lil ones. They decorated their Easter bags and set out on the playground to find those eggs! Lil Peanut did quite well and found about a half a bag full!

To top off the event Miss Mary dressed up as the Easter Bunny and every kiddo got to pick out a Easter basket to take home. Lil Peanut could not wait to get home to show his Papa his basket ;) That kind of stuff just warms your heart.

He had to wear the mask and have the sucker at the same time

Snow day

This weekend it snowed pretty good all day Saturday so Lil Peanut bundled up and went out to play. We were having a bad case of cabin fever in the house all day. You gotta love kiddos...no matter how many times my kid eats snow he's still surprised its cold on his tongue!

Catch up

I love my iPhone but I do have to say I take so many pictures on it that sometimes I forget to go back and look through them. I decided to do that this morning and realized I never posted any of Lil Peanuts birthday pics from opening gifts at home, or his birthday cake! Shame on me haha. So here are the best ones from the night. Bless his lil heart, he was pretty tired from his birthday party I'm surprised he made it to the birthday cake festivities ;)

Opening all the great Thomas the Train stuff Mimi bought him.

It was a successes 

Loved his Pre-Bike ;)

Loves Rocco. Surprised him when he got home with the new puppy.

(yep I'm officially THAT mom)

Great Buzz cake

He's so much like me in the way that he HAD to have the lights off to sing Happy Birthday ;)

One thankful routine

I do have to admit through out my single days of not being a momma I was quite busy with my social life and not so much a healthy active person.  Becoming a momma has inspired me to live my life better and to the fullest everyday. Although some days this is harder to accomplish than others for the most part it has been success ;) Now that the weather is getting warmer and it isn't dark at 5pm Lil Peanut and I are starting to enjoy our nightly walks again. We walk to the park or on special days to Starbucks with Papa. Even when it is a little chilly we just bundle up. In my prior days the chill would be excuse enough for me not to go outside. I have my lil man to thank for the motivation. I will admit some days as a single parent can be grueling and exhausting but I wouldn't change it for the world. It has made me a better person.  Some people have been critics and judgmental of my single parent status and to that all I have to say is this...
I thank The Lord each and everyday for the amazing blessing he has granted me which is my son. Lil Peanut has saved my life and challenges me to be the best I can be daily. For that I will forever be thankful :)

I guess in ending my thought of the day is...
I love my life and where it is at right now ;)

Love the Patty's day

We had a wonderful St. Patty's Day. I hope everyone got to celebrate in green yesterday. I love how there is always a good parade. We froze at the parade but had a good time, then went and grabbed some burgers. Cheers everyone ;)

Rollin

I have to say I am in love with Once Upon A Child store. It is the neatest idea. You bring in all of your lightly worn kids clothing, shoes, and toys and either trade them in for other things from the store or cash. I recently traded in a small box of Lil Peanuts clothes and was able to get a tricycle for even trade! He was so excited about his trike that he had to try it out in 50 degree weather. 
Love it ;)

Kiddo cute

Kiddos do the darnedest things...last night Rocco our new puppy was being very feisty and was bugging Lil Peanut while he was trying to read his book. So my smart lil man decided to climb into Rocco's kennel to read his book in peace. It worked quite well I must say ;)
