HAPPY EASTER!!!!

What a great fun filled day. My brother Robb couldn't make it but his family did and we missed him.

here is a sign Kaitlyn posted last weekend....I think the rules were followed nicely.


Jess and Lil' Robby got in yesterday and instead of coloring Easter eggs, the vote won to go roast marshmallows over a fire out back. It was a nice time. Made for a very fun, busy Easter day for us. We woke to the kiddos around 7am, this is almost like sleeping in ;) Tommy stayed up way too late and wasn't interested in what or what not the Easter Bunny brought. He woke up shortly. The kids got worried, that Easter Bunny hid eggs outside this year. The kids searched our house pretty intensely prior to venturing outside.
We colored eggs, played outside and then had a marvelous "dinner" for lunch. The weather was gorgeous and we enjoyed every last bit of daylight again today!

The Easter Bunny CAME!!!







The Egg Hunt




All the kids after the egg hunt. Kaitlyn, bless her heart was in a funk ;) She thought all the pics I captured earlier should have been enough. Silly girl. Kaitlyn 10, Kimberlyn 6 1/2, Lil' Robby 5 1/2, Tommy 3 and Robby 12.


Coloring Easter Eggs





Kaitlyn and her shadow....both no fear. I do believe Aunt Jess had all the fear they needed, so much so she clipped Romeo's head out of the picture!

Romeo cute as ever wearing Kimberlyn's bunny ears!


Tommy's new sleeping arrangements....
Tommy has insisted for quite some time now (like weeks) to sleep on his "carpet" ~tonight mom and dad laid down the law and made him sleep in his bed or on a his nap pad from his old school. Naturally he has two old nap pads. One is like a sleeping bag with built in pillow, the other is the plastic lined "pad"- yes, Tommy wanted the nasty plastic lined one. So another unexpected battle. We finally got him to sleep on the plastic lined "pad" inside the sleeping bag style nap pad. Why won't he just opt for his BED...................

Tommy's first ever Easter Egg Hunt! Last week at his school he had an egg hunt and caught on to it rather fast. He really enjoyed it.

Sitting in class waiting to go outside.


Not quite sure he can even see....


Very happy to have found TWO eggs on top of that steering wheel.


How exhausting....


Tommy and Mommy.


Tommy's new class and teachers. He loves it. It's a blended class of 3, 4 and 5 year old kids.

PS No news is BAD news when it comes to potty training. NOTHING, nada to report. Someday.....
