Lately, Bennett has become fascinated with making cappuccino.  We have a Tassimo (Katrina’s Jury Duty Present) that is extremely easy to use.  So, Bennett likes to insert the discs, make the cappuccino, and then froth some milk and spoon it on top.  It is very amusing and we thought the process might be worth sharing..

Ahhh…the finished beverage.

Bennett gives Mamma the wheelbarrow he made for her to hold the yellow marigolds he planted.

Grandma and Pappa joined us for an eventful dinner that included dropping Jerry off at the Emergency Room to have the tip of his thumb re-attached.

And Great Grandma was also there for the excitement!

Great Grandma watches over her sweet great grandson sleeping peacefully….

Yeah, right!

Eve with her cousin Marianna

Pappa holds his little sweetheart

All her cousins wish Evie a Happy Birthday

Eve was very proud of Daddy for making the “Very Hungry Caterpillar” cake, and she especially liked licking the bright green frosting off the candle!

Eve was excited about the cake…

So, she thought she would take a lick…

And she thinks we are crazy for being excited about this super-sweet frosting, but it is fun to smear around with a spoon.

She shows off her standing skills with the security of her new chair behind her

Clearly, she is very proud to be in a big-girl chair

She is riding the pink pony that her brother, Bennett, chose to give her as a birthday gift.  Later, we realized that he probably picked it out because he wanted to ride it, himself.

Evie has a taste of her new Pluto from Grandma and Pappa

Determined to stand up…

Bennett and Eve with their Easter baskets

When, other than at the age of three, will you ever be so excited to receive a package of cheap underwear as a gift?  Or look this cool in a pair of sunglasses?

Eve really tries to understand what is so great about the chicken toy

Bennett decided that if you are in the middle of an Easter egg hunt, and you have to go to the bathroom…why not just combine the two activities?  Who ever said you couldn’t collect eggs while still pulling up your pants?

Bennett with the bathroom egg-hunt treasures.  (FYI…there was nothing edible in any of the Easter eggs)

Daddy and Eve playing with a plastic egg

Two goofballs and a couple of pumpkins

Bennett thinks he is shooting some sort of editorial shot on the hardships pumpkins face…

Happy Bennett

Bennett searches to find a great pumpkin at Drumlin Farm

I don’t even know what to say about this expression

Bennett says hi to the cows

Bennett drives the tractor

Bennett the kitty-cat has never seen a photo funnier than this one

Except maybe this one

Did I mention that Eve likes to eat anything in sight?

Frick and Frack

Papa turned 63, and at least one of the people on the couch looks excited about it

And that is what Papa has to say about turning 63

Why is everything so funny if it sounds like someone has gas?

Bennett looks sleepy, Papa perplexed, and Evie throwing gang signs….I don’t know what happened

Bennett visits the Fire Station for their Open House
