Our Friend Sadie: Park & Eggs

 March 2012:

Porter and Eli spend a lot of time with Sadie.  She is definitely one of our best friends and it's a bonus because I get to hang out with my friend Christy.  After dropping off my parents at the airport, I took the boys to Pordenone for the morning.  We walked to the market, rode the carousel, and walked to a GREAT park near the main square.  Sadie was all about showing us around her hometown!

After doing my best at keeping the troops awake on the way home, they went to their usual spot on the way upstairs.  Anthony's mat.  If they are still eating their snack when we get upstairs, I have them sit on the rug by the door to finish it so they don't carry it around the house.  Well, they started making Anthony's mat the "finish-the-snack-mat".  So we sit and sit until all the snack is gone.  One time Anthony left the door cracked for a friend.  In there snacking, one of them leaned against the door and opened it.  That's what Eli is trying to do in the second picture.

We had egg-dying and dinner at the Curtis house a couple weekends before Easter.  I don't have any pictures of the actual dying because I was trying to keep all the eggs and dye from going all over the porch.  But we have a few after-pics.  This goes along with their personality too--Eli is just fine in a diaper and Porter, given the choice, will choose clothes every time.

 

 

 

 This afternoon/evening was by no means 'hot' but it was also not cold.  Maybe a little chillier when the sun went down, but it was a pleasant and warm-breeze type afternoon.  We had no problem stripping everyone to their diapers for the actual egg-dying part.  The Curtis' Italian neighbor got home and was chatting with Christy when she realized all 3 bambinos were in only their diapers and it was mid-March.  She was really shocked and shouted "crazy Americans"!!!  It was really funny and we all got a good laugh out of it!

 

 Sharing one pack-and-play so the adults can eat dinner after 7 p.m.--thank you and good night!
