Bribery Works Wonders
The other night, I was at my wit's end and wanted Erin to sleep through the night, in her own bed. I know she is obsessed with Speedway (the gas station.) We drive past it every morning and she points and says "OOOOOOOhh!". She loves going inside and picking out treats (plus she gets a lot of attention from the patrons. "Oh she is so cute!" So I told her that if she slept through the night, in her own bed, we'd go to Speedway in the morning. She ended up sleeping through the night (we didn't hear a peep!)! Yea!!
So in the morning we headed to Speedway. She picked out hot chocolate (like Mommy's cup!) and a Cosmic Brownie. Here she is SOOOO excited about her Speedway hot chocolate. (I should have also taken a picture of my "sooooo.excited.Erin.slept.through.the.night.face".)
Yes, we are in the car. No, I am parked at a stoplight. Yes, that is a booger hanging out of her nose that I somehow missed while washing her face.

Waiting Patiently
The other night we heard the ice cream truck on the next street over. We ran out front and waited at the foot of our driveway. He never showed up. :( But here is a picture of Erin with her money waiting patiently for the ice cream truck.

Movie Tuesdays!
Last year on Erin's birthday, I sent her picture in to the local news station. They put her picture on t.v. and wished her a happy birthday. G-Pa DVRed it and we watch it everytime we are over there. Erin gets so excited when she sees herself on t.v.! (We did it again this year and have it DVRed at home ourselves. Same reaction!)

Daddy's Got His Work Cut Out For Him
I thought it would be cute to get a picture of Erin blowing a dandelion. So I found a nice BIG dandelion and gave it to Erin and told her to go to town.
Now Daddy is worried about all the little baby dandelions that will sprout around Erin's swingset. More fun for Mommy and Erin!

Sup!?
Erin has a sudden interest in putting on hats. She insists on putting them on by herself and wearing them backwards.

Yee Haw!
Erin insists on riding "Sandy" the horse at Meijer every time we go to the store. She is getting to be a Gen-U-Wine Cowgirl! Giddy-up!

Bowling with Co-Workers
A bunch of people from work went bowling last weekend. We had a blast! Erin loved playing with the other kids and bowled like a big girl (and beat her mom the last game on the bumper lanes! But shhhhh! Don't tell!) She of course loved the video games and pizza too!

Playing Outside
The weather has finally turned the corner (permanantly I hope!) and it is officially spring. We've been playing outside any chance we can and it is difficult at times to keep Erin inside!
Using her big girl swing!
Erin in her swingset (prison!)
And I beat Ryan in cornhole three games in a row! Once I think it was even 21-0! He blamed it on the bags, so we switched sets for the last round and I still beat him. :)

EVERYTHING has to go down the slide (buckets, shovels, chalk, wagon, Dad, the dogs)

New Camera Setting
I've been testing out a new camera setting "Color Accent". It is pretty cool. Still trying to figure it out though. Here are some shots.

Painting a Pretty Picture
Erin loves doing crafts, coloring and other creative things. So on Sunday, we decided to paint. She sat there for a good 45 minutes painting. That is a long time for a two year old!

Happy Easter!
Better late than never! Here are some pictures from Easter weekend.
We had an Easter egg hunt in our backyard again. Erin is showing off her finds (a chocolate egg)
Finding her Easter Basket from the Easter Bunny Easter Morning
On the way to church, Erin put the bunny ears on all by herself!
