Happy late Easter!

The morning started early, earlier than I realized. I woke up at 6:50 and thought "gee I'd a thought the kids would be up by now they were so excited last night" And then when they got up at 7:45 I was really surprised. Well our old alarm clock was still set to the old DST, ya like they'd really sleep in on Easter (yes 7:30 is now sleeping in :)) The Easter Bunny left a slew of eggs lying around and the kids had fun running for them. I think next year the Easter Bunny might do things a bit differently so it involes a little more looking. :)









Poor Emma didn't even stand a chance although she did manage to get a few eggs when she got up :)





Easter Monday we tried to get a family picture and some pictures of the kids. The family picture turned out pretty good but the kid pictures...not so much. The kids were still pretty super hyper on sugar (I say super hyper because they are ALWAYS hyper) I told Aria to keep her eyes open cause every time the picture flashed she blinked.....she sure kept em' open :)




Emma: "You're seriously taking more pictures"

Happy Birthday ManSir!!

My little man is 6! Ya did you hear....My little man is 6! Wow that doesn't make me feel old :)
You are such a special man Ethan and I love you so much. It just amazes me how imaginative you are and how ingenuitive you are at building anything and everything out of anything!! I swear you're gonna be an architect or an engineer or someone who builds awesome things. You are rso smart! SOOOOOOOOOOO good looking! and it's so hillarious when you talk like you're 25. I absolutely love you tons!!! My beautiful man.



Ethan got some Stixx from grandpa, nana Barb, and Drew. He just loves building new creations and is so good at following the patterns he sees.

Easter Eggs, Climbing and...Snow???

We colored Easter eggs last night and the kids had a lot of fun as always being expert painters as Ethan proudly said. Aria spilled the green dye before we had a chance to color hence the green eggs are sadly left out. And who would've known....my kids like hard boiled eggs! Especially Ethan who ate 5 yesterday! and he only eats the whites!

The excitment!

The anticipation...

The insanity!

The loss of our beautiful green

The concentration

The snacking


The VICTORY!!


The finished product!

...Almost had it...



My little Emma picked up the art of climbing yesterday. She just started to hop on chairs and then on the table and couches and even climb down her change table when I turn my back. Luckily she hasn't tried to climb out of her crib. Ethan and Aria never did so hopefully she won't......neither of them ever really climbed though????




Yes it snowed the other day and snowed and more snow!!! Mother Nature....May I remind you it is supposed to be spring!




Wake me up when Spring Finally does get here!
