Pretend by Griffin

Gage and I like to play pretend. We pretend lots of things.

We pretend to be Buzz Lightyear and Woody.

We pretend we are Spiderman and Batman.

We pretend to be bear hunters.

We pretend to have campouts with Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck in our Elmo tent.

We pretend to be dinosaurs. Gage always pretends to be a T-Rex.

We pretend to be pirates. Mommy taught me to say "Arrrrgggg matey!" It's cute. I'm cute. Really cute...but you know that...so, moving on.

And we like to play cowboys. We have 3 cowboys hats, but only one pair of cowboy boots. Gage always gets to them first, even though they are 2 sizes too small for him. So today, I asked Mommy to put my snow boots on me. I mean, they are boots, right? So she put them on. Because she is the best and coolest mom in the world. (She did not pay me in candy to say that. I promise.)

I think a cowboy hat and snowboots makes a pretty cool outfit, don't you?

Easter by Gage

Here we all are. Mommy's 3 cutie pies. All matching none the less. My mommy is a bit crazy like that. She and my Mimi have been putting these outfits together for a couple of months. Yes, I said a couple of months. But I have to say, we did look pretty snazzy, don't ya think?

It was really hot on Friday and we played outside all afternoon...with Daddy! He didn't work all day, so that was really awesome. On Saturday, Griffin and I had an Easter egg hunt at church. It was really fun. We played games, made crafts, and found eggs! Griffin only found 2, but I found 10 or so and I shared my candy with him.

On Easter morning, we got up to find our baskets filled with fun stuff! We got new pajamas-Spiderman for me, Buzz Lightyear for Griffin, Cars flashlights, Spiderman sunglasses, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, and candy! I was really excited! I keep thinking my basket will be filled every morning, but so far...no luck in that department.

After the basket fun, Mommy and Daddy rushed around, fixing breakfast, ironing, and dressing us all. At the last minute before walking out the door, Mommy threw us (well, she didn't throw Barrett-she gently placed her) on the couch and snapped this picture. Mom and Dad matched us too. But, we didn't get a family shot. I heard them both say they were sweating by the time they got us in the car.

After church, we headed over to Daddy's grandparents' house for lunch and lots of playing with Peyton and Ethan. They are brothers, just like me and Grif. But they are older and lots of fun to play with!

We had a great Easter and hope you did too!
