04.10.2010 A little "Catch Up"

Easter was wonderful this year. Relaxing, Fun, Yummy, Tiring, and Special. Not a bad weekend in my book. Sorry it took so long to post. Though we had a great time celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus - i didn't get all crazy mom on my kids this year. There are no pictures of my kids dressed in special Easter outfits. For the first time EVER i let them be kids. No pressure. Wear whatever you want. Sis did not even match - which ALL MY SISTERS can attest to - is not something i could EVER let happen. I'm letting go though. It feels great. So without further ado - the Easter Weekend highlights....SATURDAY................


A school family sponsored the Easter Story - here they are listening to "Peter" tell of how Jesus said three times he would deny him.


The kids all listening intently

The Three crosses

Afterwards they had an Easter egg hunt in the orchard where we pick apples each year. They broke it out by age group, and all the kids had a great time.


On Easter we had Supper and an Egg Hunt at Jack/Suzie's. After supper the kids got their empty baskets and did a quick pose for us. Please don't pay any attention to the navy tights with the black skirt. Or Bubba's shirt 2 sizes too big he just HAD to wear. I let it go then, but just seeing them now in photos...uhhhh...deep breaths...ok.

Sis running to find all 50 of her eggs. All the kids had their own "territories" where we hid 50 eggs per kid. Only 2 of Sis' eggs were in plain sight so it too a WHILE for her! Bubba was actually the first of the three kids to find all 50.


Bubba doing good so far. They had 5 REAL hard boiled eggs, so we wanted them to of course find those first.

Donnie & I hid sisters eggs - here she is pleading for me to give her some "hints"


She had about 46 here - and was getting worn out. We had to play "hotter/colder" on her remaining 4 eggs.



They all had a great time! Now the kids have enough candy to last until Halloween!
