Matty and Mommy time

Matty and Mommy get to spend a lot of one on one time daily! Matty is an early riser, so we share some special time in the morning. Sometimes we play a game or draw, other times cartoons it is. And still there are the times that we take a ride to the store if mommy needs stuff for work or any other reason. Every time we go to Walmart Matty wants to ride the Elmo car...so finally I had the change with me and his wish was my command.

I love spending special one on one time with the kids. They are completely different when they are by themselves. They are so wonderful and creative...and I am thankful everyday for them...even at difficult moments!

Baking cupcakes

Matty and Lexi helped baked cupcakes for Grandma Elaine because she had foot surgery. They did a great job and really enjoyed mixing the batter!

Passover 2009

We went to Grandma and Grandpa's for Passover dinner. Grandpa gave Matty and Lexi a new ball that glows, and Lexi some princess shoes (she loves them, even tried to sleep with them) and Matty a truck ( he loves). They loved playing with everyone and got to spend time also with Aunt Suzy and Nana and Papa.

Playing with Easter Mr. Potato Head

Grammy sent Easter potato heads, and Matty and Lexi decided to use the mouth pieces to become bunnies themselves. They were laughing and playing around so much. It was a lot of fun. I love to watch their creativity in action. Their new favorite thing is to pretend to make you something and give it to you. I thought these pictures were too funny not to share!

Playing outside

Since it is Spring Break from school this week, we have played lots. We went to the Lied Museum, 3 different parks, and also our backyard. We even made chocolate covered matzah and decorated it with sprinkles and other yummy treats.

Easter Bunny

Matty and Lexi, & Mommy went to see the Easter Bunny! Lexi was not too excited, but warmed up. They had smiles, but unfortunately the photographer missed them...still cute! At least there were no tears!

Grandma is back from China

We went to Grandma and Grandpa's house today. We wanted to see Grandma since she just got back from visiting in China. Grandma brought back great Elmo shirts and other things.

Disney Trip

We left Tuesday afternoon for our trip to Disneyland. Matty and Lexi were not thrilled to be in the car for the duration--thank goodness for our Mickey Mouse DVD!!!!! We arrived at the hotel about 9pm and the kids did not sleep on the way at all. Luckily they fell asleep, but are they crazy sleepers, kicking and turning. I had to catch them about 4 times from falling off the bed. , rails will do nothing for these kids.

We woke up and had a healthy breakfast at the hotel before going to Disneyland. Matty and Lexi really had fin at Disneyland, there were our fair share of tantrums, but overall they did great; especially considering that we were there from 9am to about 8pm. We went non-stop and did almost everything we planned except for 1 big thing that they said they did not want to do- but there is always next time.
