I am a Carpenter too

The other night Maya and I were watching part of Alice in Wonderland (where Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb are telling the story about the Walrus, the Carpenter and the Oysters) when we had this conversation:
Maya: "Who's that man?"
Me: "He's the carpenter. A carpenter makes things out of wood."
Maya:"hmmmmmmm."
pause....
Maya: "Like I am a Carpenter too?

Oh love that girl!

Disneyland

It's official, we told Maya this morning that we are going to Disneyland. I made her a countdown calendar to keep track of the days until our trip as well as her birthday which is the day before we leave. She was so excited and had fun looking at all the stickers on the calendar. I do have to say she spotted it last night in my closet and threw a fit when I told her it was for after we get out of bed (today). I did end up showing her the Cheshire Cat because she was so insistent and is loving Alice right now. Here is a picture of her explaining the calendar and arrow to Owen as well as a picture of our calendar.

Easter Parade

Today we went to an Easter Parade in Snohomish with our friends and family. It was a surprisingly great parade, however, it was so cold!!! The girls also were not a big fan of the Seafair Pirates, as you can see by the covered ears but enjoyed all sorts of floats, 'princesses', horses, and even a few goats and lamas!

I'm an Easter Egg

Our adventures in egg coloring this year involved Maya deciding she was an Easter egg! We had fun coloring, then painting and applying some stickers and even giving one lucky egg a crown. It took a very long soak to dull the color on her Easter egg hands. Owen had fun watching and riding around on Chris' shoulders.
