Easter Sunday








Every year we head out to Dave's mom's house for Easter Sunday. The boys hunt for their eggs there and we have dinner with the whole family. This year was no exception. We inform the boys that Mommy left the Easter bunny a note to please hide our eggs at Grandma Fletcher's house because that is where we will be. During church and after they kept asking when are we going over there so they can find their eggs. So impatient! I wonder where they get that from? hehe. When we got there, Grandma Fletcher informed everyone that the backyard was for the little kids and the front yard for the bid kids. (As in Dino & Andrew, both 18 and Adam, 14!) The little kids got to go first. Grandma told them that there was a "Golden Egg" that contained $2.00 in it! That's a fortune when your 2, 3 & 5!

David found the Golden Egg!! He's rich!!



Parker was not happy he didn't find it! What a sad, yet cute, face!



Inspecting the golden egg. Safety first.


David, being the kind, warm hearted big brother that he is, re-hid the egg so Parker could find it. How sweet.

Me and Talia. Isn't she cute?!

It's been a bit since I blogged and the post ideas in my head are starting to pile up. So I thought I'd just do a quick one this morning before heading to the gym. The boys and I made these cute paper mache eggs the week before Easter. Aren't they cute!? David's is the one with more purple and 'Baby Doggy' inside. Dave helped him with his, I was Parkers mentor. When we first started I had the boys doing it solo, but after having his hands covered in glue for about 1 minutes, David decided he didn't want to do it. So Dave spread the glue directly on the balloon and David put the tissue parper over it. Parker, on the other hand, was covered in glue and lovin' every minute of it. Oh, and the idea came from the Family Fun magazine...of course.

David giving it a try. And actually excited!


Not so sure anymore...I may have created a monster. This kid hates having his hands dirty.
