What a wonderful, sunny week this has been! We've had lots of fun adventures...
Logan loves to make new friends... every time we go to the park/museum/library/store he will watch all the kids for a little bit. Then he will choose a new friend, follow them around until they acknowledge him, and then introduce himself. Almost always, they are at least 5 years his elder. :) The past week he made a nice new friend named Morgan. He fell in love with this second grader, and Morgan and her grandma fell in love with him. And they decided that Logan needed a trike... so they gave him one....
It's about 50 years old, and Logan loves it! I almost started crying when they brought it out and Logan jumped on it and started pedaling down the street. When, exactly, did my baby boy learn how to ride a trike?! I'm planning on sanding it down and putting a fresh coat of paint on it
On Friday the MSA had an easter egg hunt! Logan was so excited, and Ryley had him practicing picking up eggs for a few days before. When the egg hunt started, Logan raced to the first egg... and stopped. It was in the shape of a monkey! He soon realized that some of the eggs were animals, and refused to put any eggs in his basket that weren't some sort of animal. He's a fast little guy though, and still managed to bring home a full basket of eggs filled with candy. :)

On Saturday Logan and I planted some herbs. Logan was so cute putting all the seeds in, and watering them with his itty bitty watering can. He keeps checking the pots now, wondering why his "bean stalks" aren't higher than the clouds yet.
I absolutely loved General Conference this year! I love creating new traditions with my cute husband, and this year we tried out a few that I think will definitely stick.....
For breakfast every conference we make Beignets. This year, since it's so close to Easter, Ry cut them out in the shape of bunnies and flowers, and Logan made a butterfly. They were so yummy, and we ate far too many of them. It's a good thing for us that conference only comes twice a year. :)
Logan sure enjoyed them...
In an attempt to keep Logan occupied during conference, I tried a neat idea I found on Pinterest. I made a bag for each apostle, and filled it with a game/treat. Whenever an apostle spoke, Logan got to choose the bag with the speaker's picture on it, and play with whatever was in there while he spoke. There were a bunch of things: marbles, a notepad, play dough, squishy stuff, a GC memory game, our laminated faces, popcorn, bingo, marshmallows & toothpicks, etc. (This is for next conference when I can't remember anything I did... :)
Here Logan shows off our marshmallow/toothpick creation... a temple! If you look close you can see Angel Moroni on one of the spires. :)
A picture of some of the bags... nothing fancy, but Logan really, really liked it. And he kind of paid attention! Whenever there was a new speaker, Logan would jump up and ask if that speaker had a new bag. :)
After conference, we made pizza. I had to document this because Ryley made the most amazing looking pizza crust in the world... hand tossed and almost a perfect circle!
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and had a chance to listen to the uplifting messages of our leaders!
Here is a video of Logan at the egg hunt. I would advise turing off the volume, due to the fact that all you can hear is me trying to get him to put more eggs in his basket. I knew what was in those eggs... and I wanted chocolate. ;) At 26 weeks pregnant, chocolate is pretty much a constant craving.
