March 17 - April 13, 2010

Ahh, welcome Spring! The three Bayers are so glad to see you!

This past month has been a fun one as we have rediscovered the outdoors, enjoyed the first wave of birthday season, and had a long weekend away in Tampa, while Oma took care of Kyle, for the wedding of Karl's good friend, David.

In just a couple of weeks we will be celebrating Kyle's 3rd birthday! In the meantime, see if you can find all the pictures of Kyle eating others' birthday cake!

Karl had to work 12 hours both days of Easter weekend so Kyle and I headed to Greenville to spend the weekend with my brother, John. He bought two dozen eggs for Kyle to dye. I read that this method was easier for little hands. Our bowls were not deep enough and we didn't have enough dye so it didn't work all that great but now we know for next year!

Dye splattered face



Planting a little flower at Uncle John's place

Making a foam chick in an egg magnet....followed the picture directions and did this pretty much on his own

Time for tots day at the NC History Museum...learning about, viewing, trying on, and making our own hats



I had read many times about practicing letter writing using shaving cream so we decided to try it out.....the shaving cream part was so much fun that we never made it to the letter writing practice part....oh well, maybe next time! This kept Kyle entertained for at least 30 minutes....got our whole meal cooked and ready while he explored all the shaving cream in the box.
