Easter Weekend and Celebration!!

Here is a picture of Kailee's Easter Bunny that she made with the help of my friend Megan! She really helped save us! Kailee needed an empty gallon milk jug! There was NO way we were going to drink an entire gallon of milk in one evening so I called the Megan, cause I figured with the girls and her hubby maybe they would have an empty gallon jug laying around, so anyway here is the finished product: Cute huh!!

We finally got a few (and I do mean a few) days off from school for our "Spring Break". On Friday, I thought that everybody would sleep in and we would laze around the house in our jammys, daddy would fix us some breakfast, and eventually we would get dressed and take Kailee to her BFF's house for the Sleepover. Tell me, why it is that I have to literally drag my children out of bed every morning for school, but on a day off, they are bouncing down the stairs at the Crack of Dawn!!! WHY WHY WHY!!! That's ok, because my brother-in-law called me at 7:15 in the morning (he works nights, so this was right before he went to bed) to ask about Easter Dinner, then my nephew called around 8 am to say that he was on his way out! Crazy! I in returned called my brother to wish him a HAPPY BIRTHDAY at 8:15 in the morning (but he too, works nights and was on his way home from work). Then my neice and her NEW husband stopped by on their way HOME :( so sad here, in Washington (the state, not the city). I held it together during the wedding and the week after the wedding, but when they stopped by the cried like a baby!!! and Kailee cried too. It was crazy! I am going to miss them so much, but we have email, phones, texting, and this blog to keep in touch!! So, after that Brian and I and the boys went to the dreaded Wal-mart for Easter dinner shopping! That was a very expensive trip!

SATURDAY- started like any other Saturday! Kolin had horseback riding early in the morning but this time it was with an Easter Egg Hunt, on horseback! Very exciting. Even Pac-Man the horse got into with Bunny Ears!! Karter went with me, even though I told him to stay home with Daddy, it was really chilly and he already has a runny nose! But He did not listen and came any way! Here he is all bundled up! After horseback riding, it was home to clean the house and get ready for Easter. About 3ish Kailee called and needed me to come pick her up from her BFF's because her BFF had fallen and hurt her ankle and needed to go to the ER. So, I picked her up, then grandma surprised me with taking the kiddos home with her so my hubby and I could go out for my b-day which was Sunday. He figured that it would be over looked because of Easter being the same day, so we went to dinner. It was nice to just be the two of us, but our converstions did lean towards the kids! :) Then we walked our dinner off at Target!

Then Came EASTER! The Easter bunny visited our house and left a Wii game, a DVD, and way too much candy!!! Everyone got dressed up and we went to church! Even daddy got in on the fun of picture taking! Don't the kids look cute!! See what another wear out of our Wedding Clothes! So, both sides of our families came over for Easter at our house! We had a lot of food, and a lot of good times! People talked, shared stories, and just had a great time. It was really nice to see everyone and spend time together. After everyone left, I got to sit down and watch TWILIGHT! Thanks so much Joe and Gloria for the movie for my b-day! It is awesome!!! Then it was off to bed for us!

MONDAY- Our last day off :( So sad! I honestly did nothing all day except pay with the kids and do laundry! It was wonderful! I did make a nice dinner for everyone, and got backpacks ready for the next day! Baths were had, and jammy's were put on! Then a little snuggling and off to sleep for everyone!
