Ez turns 2!

Dear Blog.
I have not forgotten you... I've missed you and I am anxious to share all of our happenings! We now have 5 baby chicks that are a week old now! Everyone loves them, to include the two cats! If there is one this I KNOW now about raising chickens- they poop, a lot. They are super chipper and fun and I am so glad they have joined the household.

In addition to the chicks joining us, we have two new children enrolled which brings us all great joy! A soon to be 3 year old gal, Bel. And a soon to be 3 year old young lad, Mo. Welcome littles! I am over joyed to have you both join our group!

Ez celebrated a birthday over the weekend and all of our Beans and Sprouts friends came over plus a handful of other friends. Art was our theme and all of our friends brought art supplies in lieu of gifts for Ez to take to Children's Mercy to donate. We can't wait to go drop off the supplies and bring as much joy as we had to littles that are hospitalized.

Mo and Ms. L working together at the painting station.
All the littles took home their own canvas instead of party favors.

Bel banging on the music wall!

The birthday boy working on his painting!

Jimbo painting- he had a really interesting approach unlike the others.
He likes to layer paint!

Ms. L decorating cupcakes. All the kid's got their own organic carrot cake cupcake with cream cheese icing (yes, I am bragging over the cake I whipped up the morning of the party) to decorate however they so felt. Turns out we have some really creative cake decorators! 

Ez's cake was shaped like an artist's palette. 

To satisfy the urge to drive, we now have steering wheels located in the the kid's space!

His first taste of birthday cake, he was a fan.

The chalkboard corner turned out to be a big hit.
We had buckets of water and paint brushes so the kids could paint off their drawings!
