Fun Easter Activities

Our church had an Easter Fun Day for the kids this weekend.  Face Painting, crafts, egg hunt, games, you name it, they did it!

Mallory was suprisingly patient while getting her face painted.



Cute little bunny!



Cute little bunny take 2!

Hula Hooping like a champ!

Mallory didn't quite understand thatyou could only pick 20 eggs, so Wade followed behind her throwing out the extras as she put them in.

Keira very meticulously counting her eggs.  This year she learned the find and replace option ... See one you like better laying on the ground, throw one out and pick that one up!

Mom!  There are eggs everywhere!

Bounce house fun!

Cupcakes

I took a cupcake decorating class last night and the girls enjoyed the training devices!

Peanut

Just because she hasn't made an appearance on the blog in quite some time!  Despite eating things that you cannot even imagine, she is still alive and kicking.  And has lost 12 pounds since being put on her thyroid medication.  Mallory's latest favorite thing is to make 'Nutty shake.  She doesn't quite understand that when Peanut is laying down, she is too lazy to get up to shake hands!

Have a great weekend!  We have a busy one planned - easter egg hunt, lowe's build clinic for keira, lawn mowing, long run, and hopefully a child free dinner out for mom and dad.  Enjoy!

Weather

We have been having particularly awesome weather lately and have been playing outside a lot!  I made a sandbox out of one of the sections of the swingset and teh kids love it.  I am not loving it so much as now there is sand all over my basement floor, but what can you do?

We even got the pool out one day last week!

A Leprechaun visited our house

and left a big MESS!  Keira got off the bus friday all excited talking so fast that I couldn't understand what she was saying.  When she finally calmed down, she informed me that we had to go home immediately and build a trap to catch the leprechaun that was going to come to our house that night and steal all our shiny things.  OK then, let's do it.  She came home, found some old boxes and decorated them and put shiny things in them to set the trap. 

I ran to target after she went to bed and bought green balloons and green streamers and blocked her doorway and filled her room.  I left a note on the door that said, "Hee Hee Hee, you didn't catch me. --  The Leprechaun. 

She thought it was pretty funny!

My Little Leprechauns

We made Leprechaun beards today.  Happy St. Patrick's Day a little bit early!



The tooth fairy strikes again

The tooth fairy is going to be broke, soon.  Keira lost another tooth this weekend.  This one was off the bottom too, so she has quite the gap going down there.  Wade pulled this one out.  Still grosses me out. 

In other news, I started a new blog.  It is mostly for me, but you can read too!  I'll be posting my obsessive compulsive behaviors over there ... ya know, all those things I do to fill up my time when I am bored (well, not really bored so much as I don't want to clean the house).  You know, like last week I baked granola bars, vanilla wafers, and pumpkin chocolate chip muffins all in one day.  Crazy, yes, yet that is what keeps me sane :).  So if you are just interested in the kids, this is the place you want to be.  If you are interested in my crazy antics, check me out over here at

That's all folks!
