Xander and Clare

Cleaning the bus stop while we wait for Xander to get home.

The kitty costume is still very popular.

Look! A bow in Clare's hair! I had to totally trick her!

Grammy Eve sent the most enormous Easter goodies ever.
The kids were beyond thrilled.

Whoa!

 

 Pretending to be scared by the guitar-playing bunny.

 

Grandma Mary sent the most gorgeous (and yummy) sugar cookies.

Watching Xander's baseball game on Saturday.

Michael helped the coaches warm up the batters.
(Xander has new batting gloves, just like Ichiro.)

After the game we spent some time at Bigelow Park.

Then we had a late lunch at Ramblin' Jacks.

Our final destination: the annual Procession of the Species!

So much fun to play in the street.
(This little joke was all Michael's idea.)

Warmest day of the year, by far -- almost 70 degrees.

Craziest, most colorful parade ever.

My favorite float of the day.
