HAPPY EASTER!

We were lucky enough to have family come to us this Easter holiday.

JP and AA are SPOILED with attention!

Life will be interesting when baby cousins come around ... (no, that's not a hint!).

We still have Easter eggs hiding in our home ... the whole inside egg hunt didn't go over so well. The kids were captivated by the things they could see, so trying to convince them to drop their baskets and look for eggs was too much!

I'm not sure who had more fun playing with the kitchen set ... AA or Aunt K!

And I wonder who had more fun flying the kite?

We are thankful for our many blessings this Easter.

EASTER PREP

Lots of things to do to get ready for Easter!

First, we need to color the eggs ...

(and our hands!).

Next, we need to attend the Easter egg hunt ...

and meet the Easter bunny (surprisingly, only AA wanted to take part in this step!)

And finally ... decorate cupcakes and cookies!

WAITING

Somebunny is ready for Easter!

CONVERSATIONS

When life throws me emotional curveballs, it's my kids that keep me grounded. The little things they say and do bring a smile to my face each and every day.

Like today, when I came home from work.

Me: JP, how was your day with Daddy?

JP: Oh momma, Daddy and I went to the ship park and Addie was CRABBY five times!

WHITE TREAT

Grandpa J and Grandma S came to visit this weekend (and babysit for a few hours). The kids always soak up lots of love from grandparents! All week JP has been asking me for the "white treats" that Grandma S gave him ... after staring in my cupboards and asking JP over and over what he means, I finally figured it out! Grandma S found some marshmallows in my cupboard (who knows how old those are) ... what a great new (white!) snack!

BALL

She shoots.

And she scores.

SIBLINGS

Our unseasonably warm weather brought endless outdoor play activities to our family over the weekend. In a matter of minutes our front yard was strewn with bikes, trikes, helmets, play lawnmowers, wagons, strollers, sidewalk chalk, t-balls, soccer balls, kickballs, sandbox toys, and the jeep.



Of all the activities, sitting together in the jeep and having sibling sharing time was the favorite. These two are hilarious! We are going to have a fun summer!
