Murgolo Pre-Easter Celebration

Today Mommy, Daddy, Nonna, Granddaddy, Millie, Aida, Uncle John, Aunt Maggie, and William gathered at Uncle John & Aunt Maggie's house to celebrate Easter. We had lots of activities planned and the boys were ready for some Easter fun!!

We all jumped right in dying Easter eggs.  We had lots of different dyes and Nonna even brought super cool kits where you could stamp the eggs or create a stencil on the eggs. Everyone let their creativity soar and we all had lots of colorful delicious Easter eggs:

 After egg dying we had some play time and then it was time to do the Easter egg hunt.  The boys were all excited to get out there and grab up those eggs. Within minutes William and Wyatt were out the door and in a race to get their eggs:

 The competition was fierce:

 Look at that determination:

 After all the eggs were found it was time to go inside and open up those eggs to see what prizes they had found:

 After some more play time it was time for William and Wyatt to open their Easter baskets.  Wyatt got a lot of super cool stuff in his baskets!  He got lots and lots of yummy candy/snack goodies and super cool toys.

 Tuppins was hoping Wyatt would share some of his goodies:

 Wyatt loved his kite and couldn't wait until to go outside and let the wind carry it into the sky.  We had lots more to do and a delicious dinner ahead of us so the kite would have to wait for another day.

 After the baskets we all sat down to a delicious dinner.  The boys were very good at dinner and Wyatt was very proud of himself for eating all of his ham bites. He certainly earned his piece of the delicious Easter Bunny ice cream cake:

M-M-M-MONSTER JAM!!!!

Not too long ago Wyatt and Mommy were walking through the mall and we saw an ad for the Monster Jam show at the Mariner Arena in Baltimore.  Wyatt really really wanted to go and was super excited when he found out that his best buddies Ian and Elena and their Mommy and Daddy were all coming with us to the Monster Jam show.  All week Wyatt would say "MMMMMM MONSTER JAAAM" like an announcer.  

We had never been to a monster jam show before so we didn't realize how loud it was going to be.  Fortunately they were selling ear protection at the show, look at these cool tire earmuffs: 

There were all sorts of cool Monster trucks there and they did a ton of crazy stunts.  At the beginning of the show all of the monster trucks went head to head in a race and this one went so fast and turned the corner too quickly and rolled right over.  They got the driver out of the car through the window and then they brought over the construction vehicle and tied a tether to the monster truck and pulled it up on it's wheels.  It was really cool!

The coolest part of the show was actually the freestyle section where they were able to go through all the different obstacles and tried to get as much flair in as they could. 

 Look at all that air:

 The boys were really into the SPIDERMAN monster truck!  They would always get so excited when Spiderman drove out onto the course.  Whenever they saw the truck coming they would scream to each other "Spiderman, look, it's Spiderman"  and of course they cheered him on like crazy:

 This Monster Truck was super cool. It was called higher education and was a cool little school bus on these giant wheels.  The driver was also from Hagerstown,MD too!

This car really wowed 'em with all those sparks:

The boys super into the all the trucks:

A little bit of lean:

By the end of the night the boys were getting pretty tired and a little slap happy so we left right as the show was ending.  Despite all the noise and the chaos we all had a blast and the boys have been non-stop playing with their mini monster trucks.

One last time- "MMMMMMMMMONSTER JAM!!!!"

Happy 6th Birthday William!

Today we celebrated William turning 6 years old!  We headed over to William's house for a big party filled with lots of family and all of William's friends from school.  There were a lot of kids all ready to play and party! When all the kids arrived they were greeted at the door and then headed downstairs to play all the cool games that William has in his basement.  All the kids had a blast getting to play games together.  Then they all headed up stairs where a Magician was waiting to dazzle and amaze them with lots of super cool tricks.  All of the kids were really into the magic show and loved getting to see all of the tricks.  Then they all got to get up and dance a little to get their energy out.  At the end of his show the magician made all the girls a pretty balloon flower and the boy a cool balloon sword. Of course all the boys were playing with their swords and were all over the place.   That was the cue time to head over to the table for some yummy birthday treats and to sing Happy Birthday to William!   After all of William's friends left we all rested a little and then it was time for William to open up all his neat presents.  Everyone had a great time and William was  a great birthday host!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILLWUMS!!!
