Reading to Ivan

Ivan wasn’t feeling well, so Ezri let him use her pink blankie and pillow.
She read him the stories Wolfie the Bunny, Frog and Fly, and Sam and Dave Dig a Hole.

Doctors at C2E2

Getting her Action Cat comic signed and a cool drawing done for her by Art Balthazar. His comics include Tiny Titans and Action Cat which are both bedtime favorites.

Asking, “Would you care for a jelly baby?” Eric gave her a bag of jelly babies. She tried offering them to a few people, but finally got the smile she was looking for from a guy dressed as Matt Smith’s Doctor.

This was Ezri’s favorite cosplayer. King Sombra is the evil tyrant pony who rules the Crystal Empire before it is freed and ruled by the charming Princess Cadence. The costume was so good Ezri skipped over to hug the evil pony and asked I take this photo.

All three of my doctors found their puppy and we snapped this photo with K-9.

Building a Fairy Home at Morton Arboretum with Ivan

The kids arranged leaves, nuts, sticks, and pinecones. In the end the home had a table, a fireplace,a two beds, and assorted things “just to pretty it up.”

Spring in the Yard

Ivan fell asleep in the red wagon on the walk home from picking up Ezri at kindergarten.

Since he was napping, Ezri asked for chalk and made herself a hopscotch board. She then looked for sparkly rocks to play the game with. She took them and washed them to add extra sparkle in her game.

Ivan continued to nap.

Hopscotch is perfect for a windy spring day. Ivan is still napping behind that backpack in the wagon.
