It seems like Jackson is learning new things by the minute these days. He's learned to point to ask for things he wants in the last weeks, he likes to take blocks apart, he has invented all kinds of ways to tease the dog, he has decided it's great fun to try and take mommy's glasses off her face constantly, and about a week ago he also learned how to open drawers. Now, the kitchen and bathroom drawers are a major source of entertainment. He likes to just roll the drawers in and out, but he's also discovered that sometimes there are cool things in the drawers. Like in the kitchen drawer where he found a ball of butcher's twine. He spent probably half an hour playing with this string and the drawer it came out of. It is very exciting stuff! And he has quite the strong willpower and knows how to voice his options, too. Try to take away the "toy" he is playing with and just see what a fit he will throw!
And, what a face!
Then, we went to a friends house for an Easter Egg Hunt. Here are all the kids getting ready to go. Jack's wondering what's going on!
First, mommy just set him on the grass, but he didn't like that and wouldn't pick up any eggs...
Then, he and daddy came up with a good egg gathering technique...
After that, he really got into it...two fisted even!
Then, we had a yummy lunch with ham, potatoes, and all sorts of goodies. Jack liked some sweet potatoes and bread and cheese, but his favorite part was the chocolate brownie served for dessert. He's becoming quite a chocolate monster after only one day of chocolate! 
Then we tilled up the area...
Now, we've bought some wood edging to outline the garden and some paths and different areas...they are laid out roughly, but not cut or installed yet. We have to work on that this weekend.
