Easter Snowshoe Hare

This is not the Easter Bunny.

This is a what a 15-month old looks like in his newborn bed. A good fit, no?

But onto the Easter thing.

For Easter, we cloned Sebbie's Grandmaman for him. But she didn't fit in the basket.

What DID fit in his Easter basket was a fun new little train, and some of that weird fake grass.

Which he looooooooved. We had almost as much fun watching him as he did playing with it.

Then it was time to bring some colour to this winter wonderland kind of a day, and get all bundle-y to go outside.

And play hide-behind-Papa on the way.

Here is Sebbie enjoying the view of the Giant on his walk. Though mostly he looks at his feet. They are very cute, we can't blame him.

The intrepid little walker spies his Papa at the door.

Matilda finished her dinner early and went to go herd some cats. First, you have to show them who's the boss.

Scotty herded some toys. Generally, he who holds the hammer is the boss. Scotty actually has a strange (or perfectly normal, come to think of it) affinity for hammers. We could do a whole blog of pictures of Scotty brandishing Sebastien's hammers.

And on that note, we could also do a whole blog of pictures of Sebastien trying to feed (or have someone else feed) some sort of toy incarnation of a doggy. This one is supposed to be a bowling pin, but it has ears. He's not picky.

One of these days, he'll be running. And it will all be a blur.

What We Did on Our March Break

Well, we went to the airport, and picked up Auntie Hanna. And then we....

Ate her pizza.

Posed for a family photo. Sort of.

We taunted Auntie through the French doors.

Then we relented and let her come through the French doors after all. This time.

Then Sebbie decided he was tired of bonking his head, so he wore some protection for a while. Mostly he needs protection from his Mama's clumsiness.

But Mama isn't always clumsy. It's worth risking it for the occasional snuggle.

And Aunties are good to snuggle too. Especially aunties with toast.

And aunties without toast aren't bad either. Especially after a tiring day...

...of lounging.

Try walking a mile in Sebbie's shoes. Or boots. It's pretty tiring, even if they do have octopuses on them and are 20 sizes too big.

Blue Slinky

Every toddler needs one.

Though it doesn't match this sleeper. So Sebbie the fashion-conscious will play with something else until we get him out of his jammies.

Slip Slidin' Away

Sebastien's first real tobogganing experience (last time he just slid on his bum).
Scotty is an experienced slider. I think they're going to race.

Every now and then he even cracks a smile.

Ooh. Danger. It's okay, though. They signed a waiver.

There is room on this sled for the whole family.

There would be room for this horse too, if we really wanted.

This one is more our size. And our speed.
