The weather did not exactly cooperate with us during the Spring Break.  There has been pouring rain for the whole week.  The thunder storm hit really hard on Thursday night.  Lightning was flashing after dinner time until like 11:30pm.  Therefore, Nic had been stuck at home most of the week expect for a playdate with Haley and Chester on Thursday and Coco and RaeRae on Friday.

On Sunday, the last day of Spring Break, the sun finally came out.  In the morning, we spend some time in the backyard, blowing bubbles, watering plants, and just enjoying the sun.  It was also Claire's birthday party in the afternoon.  Nic got excited for a while because the party theme was Tangled.  He was so happy to see the Rapunzel cakes.  There were lots of kids and everyone enjoyed their time.  Nic even made a few new friends at the park.  

When we got home, we decided to have some ice cream.  I had bought the Open Nature Greek Frozen Yogurt from Safeway.  I tasted it at work and it was so rich and tasty.  I felt less guilty giving him icecream now cuz it's high in protein!  Nic had a big bowl with a little cone and he loved it.

Then, Ricky made us some great food for dinner.  He got a steak for himself and Nic and I had Halibut.  It's so yummy.  Look how pretty my Halibut is after it's plated!  I LOVE my husband who is an awesome cook!  I am such a lucky person and am definitely spoiled!

Nic is a pretty good eater most of the time on the foods he like to eat.  Lately, he is starting to become a picky eater.  He always needs to be reminded to focus on eating because otherwise, he would just keep talking, or singing, or watching TV.  We generally do not let him get off his seat during a meal until he is done eating.  But it is not working anymore.

So this night, I was home by myself with Nic and Lexi.  Ricky had an engagement session in LA.  Nic just won't touch his veggies.  So I explained to him the veggies will help with his poopoo, so he doesn't need to push hard.  Then, he said I don't want to poopoo.  and when I poopoo I want to push very hard.  TIME OUT!  He should know better that he is asking for trouble when he talks back to mama.  I took him to time out immediately.  I also gave him his plate and told him that he cannot come out until he finishes his veggies. 

This is him, finishing his veg in the timeout corner with his plate. 

It was Easter Sunday, and we are celebrating Easter, Grandma Lau's birthday and Daddy's birthday.  Lexi was dressed up in her Easter dress and Nic was a happy camper too!  We went to dim sum in Milpitas during the day.  After lunch, Daddy had an engagement session in Alviso, while Grannies went for a shopping trip at the Great Mall.  Most of the stores were closed but Off 5th was still open.  Grandma scored a few really cute clothes!  Nic, Lexi, and I were hanging out in Alviso when Ricky was doing the photo shoot.  However, the weather was so windy that the session was cut short! 

We bought this cute little Pirates Egg Decorating kit from Target.  Nic has been begging me to play with him since I bought it in March.  We finally got to it the week before Easter.  We dyed the eggs in different colors and used the giggly eyes and stickers that came with the kid to decorate the eggs.  The kit includes the base and the pirate ship so all the little eggs can stand on it's own or on the ship. 

Here's the picture of the whole pirate crew.
