What will it be?

Since we were on vacation we didn't get our 20 week ultrasound. Our ultrasound will be in the next week. Our question is....do you think we are having a boy or a girl?

Chick Days

A friend of ours told us about the Chick Days at a local feed and supply store. We took Claire to it and she had so much fun. She loved seeing the baby chicks and was so excited to be able to hold them.
Then they had goslings (baby geese). She got to hold one of them too. She is so proud of herself and this little gosling wanted to wiggle away from Claire.
There were many other animals there too; like kittens and two different types of puppies. There was also a small petting zoo with rabbits, goats, pigs and a pony. There were also some chickens and alpacas you could look at. Here is a picture of Claire petting the pony.
They were also giving out free hot dogs and drinks. Claire loved it. Who ever said 'there is no such thing as a free lunch"?

Egg Hunts

Claire had a great time doing Easter Egg Hunting. She was a great hunter as well. Some good friends of ours had an Easter Egg Hunt at their house a few weeks ago. Claire loved every minute of it. She loved being with the kids and of course she loved finding enough eggs to fill her basket.
Claire's second Easter Egg Hunt was a free hunt put on by Yokes. We had Claire's cousin (Bryan's cousin's daughter) Katelynn come up and go to the egg hunt with us. It was so fun except it was so cold and windy. They started the egg hunt at noon and by five after all the eggs were gone. Which is crazy considering there were thousand of eggs.
Here is Claire and Daddy anxiously waiting to here the siren sound it is time to pick up eggs. (Daddy is also doing his best to keep his little girl warm...good thing daddy is like a human blanket)
As you can see from the picture with Katelynn above, eggs littered the baseball fields. When the siren sounded Claire took off for them, but we soon noticed she was passing by many of the eggs. When we paid closer attention we noticed she was by passing all the eggs but the blue ones. She wanted to pick up only blue eggs. We did get her to pick up some different color eggs eventually.
Claire's last Easter Egg Hunt was at our house. She was really excited to see the Easter Bunny had come to her house, but once again she only went for the blue eggs. We had to convince her there were good things in the other eggs as well. She had a good time.

Easter Eggs

Claire loved every minute of dyeing Easter Eggs. She had a blast. Grandma Lois had boiled 4 dozen eggs so we had enough to just have a blast. Claire loved taking a paintbrush and dipping it in the dye and painting the eggs.

Hair Cut

The other day Claire told me she needed to go to see Janelle and get a hair cut. I needed one also so I called and got us an appointment. Claire loves to go see Janelle. Although she likes to act like she doesn't. Here is her before picture.
One of her favorite things is wearing Janelle's monster apron...that is what she calls the cover-up you wear when you get your hair cut. Sorry I didn't get a picture of her wearing the monster apron. Here is her after picture.

April Fools

This post really has nothing to do with April Fool's Day, but that is what today is so I labeled my post as such. Claire loves to pick out her own clothes. I figure she is old enough I should just let her choose what she wants to wear. Of course for certain occasions she only gets a few things to choose out of instead of her entire closet. Well today there wasn't anything that she had to be dressed a certain way. She picked out her outfit and then when we needed to go somewhere she picked her shoes, jacket and a hat to wear. I loved her outfit. It made me smile. I thought I'd share her beautiful creation with all of you.
