I confirmed Lucy's status as a hoarder when I opened her jewelry box to find it full of items (many that she wasn't supposed to have in her room - I'm looking at you marker and glue stick). Finding BJ's high school football picture button still makes me smile. We don't know where or how she got it but she loves it.
Soccer and a super hero birthday party in the same day? I'm still exhausted about remembering that particular day.
Lucy caught a quick stomach flu bug but it's pretty amazing how fast little kids can start feeling better. She was lying on the couch watching a show and the next hour she came down the steps with her doctor's coat on, Joanie Joanie in the stroller, declaring "Doctor Mommy Lucy is feeling better and ready for the day."
The Easter Bunny found our house and brought the kids some candy, stickers and a little toy. The Easter Bunny also found herself in a moment of weakness and, bought a Kindle Fire for the kids. The kids get 45 minutes of electronics each day during their summer program so I think that the Easter Bunny was wise, but we'll see. So far they think that it only works when we're on a long car ride and I'm 100% OK with that.
We delayed celebrating Easter with my side of the family until early April but we went back to Cascade over Easter weekend and enjoyed our time with that side of the family.
Coloring eggs with Nana and Papa.
A picture of some over-excited, sweaty kids before the indoor Easter egg hunt.
The best photo we could get of the kids with Nana and Papa - the sugar was in full effect at this point.
Charlie and Lucy love their little cousin "Baby Deliliah" and whether she likes it or not, they want equal time holding her. I'm fairly certain that Lucy was trying to convince Nana that she didn't need help as she slowly fell to the side.
My boys on Easter morning after church.
The "best" family photo from that morning - BJ and I didn't plan our checkered shirts, we're just that in tune with one another :).
My two crazies
A final Easter photo with Nana and Papa. It was a quick trip back to Cascade but always fun to have some cousin and grandparent time!
