Here are a few pictures of Dominic's nursery. Jenica, this is for you! Also, as soon as our house addition is done Dominic will be getting a new bedroom, which he has deemed a SUPERHERO theme and his nursery will become my craft room. Needless to say surfers, the ride is almost over!
Rocco was diggin' the shirnk wrap eggs
Dying Easter Eggs with the cousins
Dominic and Celeste. Not only did Dominic dye the eggs he re-dyed them over and over again!
The Easter Bunny sent the boys on a scavanger hunt. This is where they finally found their baskets, on the stairs that are under construction
Rocco is a HUGE Scooby Doo fan these days
Dominic is all about Diego
Easter breakfast...OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!
Outside for a little bubble blowing

Easter Egg Hunt at Grandmas
We hid about 100 plastic eggs for the boys to find. They loved it!
Dominic just can't pass a puddle without jumpin' in
Moon boots make are great for puddle jumpin'
It's all fun and games until.....one goes down!
Rocco's Easter treats for his class.
I'm sure I'm not the first to come up with this saying, someone on TV referenced their "PEEPS" as in friends and an idea was born! Inside the bags were "PEEPS" themselves and a coloring page.
I got this page from http://www.coloring-book.info/ on line.
Here is a little Easter arrangement for Rocco's teacher. With the added "PEEP" on top! This is the same flower arrangement I made with the shaker bottles (from an earlier post) and in one of the holes I put a PEEP on a skewer and placed it in one of the holes.
Here I am post surgery. This is a much better look for me than from Sunday when my eyes decided to swell shut. Despite the picture I'm feeling good. They said it would take about 2wks. I go back to the Dr. on Thursday to get all the packing taken out of my nose and hopefully be able to breath. Thanks for all the get well calls, flowers, and slurpees! xoXOxo W
Literally, tomorrow is my scheduled surgery to straighten my deviated septum. Wish me luck!
For those of you who truly know Rocco, you know what kind of an imagination this kid has, and YES John, his imaginary friend, is still with us. You never know what is going to come out of his mouth. For those of you who don't know Rocco as well, let me give you a little insight.
The boys woke up to find that a Leprechaun had left GREEN and gold candies in their shoes.

St. Patrick's Day GREEN dinner: Green broccoli cheese soup, green rice, green cucumber slices, chicken and Sprite. Rocco is baffled every year at just how sneaky Leprechauns can be! 
Your Pre-K teacher from school comes to see you play basketball over the weekend. You'd think she'd had enough of them all week at school. Mrs. Long is an AMAZING teacher and we love her. Here is Mrs. Long, Rocco, and his best friend Asher who is also in Mrs. Long's class as well.

NO MORE DIAPERS!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!! I finally feel safe enough to blog about it. For awhile now I thought if I said anything I might jinx it. It has now been officially 40 days since Dominic stopped wearing diapers. I'd love to tell you I had some great impact on this remarkable event but the truth is one afternoon I found the base to Rocco's old potty training toilet and set it out and Dominic hasn't looked back!!!! He doesn't even wear a pull up to bed. He's AMAZING. It's like he woke up one day and was potty trained. I love this kid I tell ya, and at only 26 months old.
Supplies: Flowers, Shaker, Ribbon/Card, and Scissors
Place a single stem through each hole in the lid of shaker until all the holes are filled. Tie ribbon around shaker, add a card, and voila! An inexpensive happy birthday or thank you bouquet.
One bouquet of small carnations was enough to fill two shakers.First of all let me start by thanking everyone for all of your calls, thoughts, and prayers for little Dominic. He is now on the road to recovery. We had a really scary incident last week that landed Dominic in the emergency room only to discover he had pnemonia. Needless to say, his fever finally broke 3 days later and he is now doing a ton better. For all you mothers who have ever had to make a trip to the ER with your baby I never truly understood just what a horrific experience that is. I hope I never have to do it again.

The boys even let Dominic sit with them at their table. Being a room mom is GREAT!
