March in Colorado

The chickens and Max are getting big. They are almost all feathered out except for their heads now.

Gianna is six months old today - no idea where the last six months went, I know I didn't sleep them away.


This was snow storm last week. 70 degrees this week. I think Roma was enjoying herself.
We went into to get some chicken feed and left with two White Crested Black Polish Chickens. Funny looking things. Hopefully we didn't get roosters!

Violin?

We took the boys into Boston to my conference last Saturday. There was a display of string instruments and the gentleman offered to let Evan try. Evan was so cute and says he liked playing it!

Gavin's Day at the Museum

Gavin "shopped" once at the grocery store and played in the dino room and truck room for a few minutes. He raced a couple of matchbox cars in the exhibit. But once he hit the train room, he never left. Over an hour and a half he stayed here. A big train and water tower and two train tables. He thought he was in heaven.

Children's Play Museum

We went to a play museum in NC when we were visiting Grandma Carol. The kids had a great time. Chloe was in her glory. We only took pictures of her doing about half the things available there. She is definitely at prime imaginative play stage.

Gavin LOVED the dinosaur room. About 30 - 40 dinosaurs all twice the size of the ones he has at home.

During the puppet show Chloe shouted out, "My daddy wears a helmet on HIS bike..." Thanks for sharing.

Changes to the Boccolucci Household

As you all have heard by now we FINALLY got our backyard chickens. Two light brahmas and two white orpingtons (the yellow chicks). They are growing soooo fast it is amazing to watch. Maxwell is totally in love with them.




Max also got a small "big boy" bike this past weekend. Notice the ski helmet. His bike helmet is too small this year and too big for Gianna. He calls the bike his motorcycle and has already taken one good digger on the sidewalk. He started crying but then we figured out it was because Kevin brought him inside, not the blood on his face.


In other news, I have restarted my blog: http://totsandbottoms.blogspot.com to try and get more customers for my etsy shop. http://www.etsy.com/shop/TotsandBottoms

I don't want to cross post so I will try and put them more family oriented news items on this blog and the more general life stuff on that one. Would love your feedback.
