Easter Bunny from years past

We went to see the Easter Bunny last night! This was of course Hazel's first time and the first year that Hagen was SO excited!! We met Ryan at his office and then headed to the mall... I told Hagen he needed to be brave so that Hazel would not be scared. No need to tell him that he already knew. He approached the EB with confidence and gave him a high five! So proud! This was him last year and he was not crying but a bit unsure of the big guy.
The year before that was a total disaster. We went to breakfast with the EB and Hagen was terrified! No bueno that year!
And then one of my favorites. Hagen was about 1 and he loved the EB...so sweet...love him!
We went to dinner at California Pizza Kitchen afterwards where Hazel had the biggest meltdown ever so I had to leave with her while the boys ate and then left. She fell asleep in her stroller so I decided to go shopping and got myself some boyfriend jeans...love them!

Pork Chops and painted piggies

So we have been talking with Hagen alot about safety. One thing that we love is that we can take a shower or whatever and not have to worry about Hagen. He is out of the into everything stage and is not into the sneaky stage (yet). But one thing I do worry about is if the door bell rings. So we have been playing "what if". Basically he is told to not open the door EVER. He is to come get me or Ryan and we will open it with him. Even if it is Nana or someone he knows we go get Mom or Dad because "It may be someone that LOOKS like Nana, but be a bad person". So we went through a billion scenarios, "what if buzz light year comes to the door?" "What if Ms. Laura your teacher rings the bell?" "What if Papa and Pia come and say, it's OK Hagen...you can open the door?" No matter what, you come get us. He got it! Passed all his tests! He even told us, "If you and Daddy are outside eating pork chops and I am inside eating my pork chop and someone knocks, I come get you and you will put your pork chop down and help me get the door!" Yes son...or chicken or ribs or hot dogs...or tequila. Onto another cutie pie...I got this completely impractical outfit for Hazel...she looks like a baby flapper complete with painted toes and a flower on her head! I usually do a little bow and am not much for the gigantic bows and headbands, but it just had to go with this cute ditty.
I think she likes it!! She is spending the day with Pia today. She has a random high fever but nothing else is wrong. Took her to the doctor last night and deiced to keep her out of school today. She had no fever this morning. She is teething like crazy. So sad for babies that teethe...sounds so painful!
