Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday in Alabama was gorgeous! We got up and daddy cooked us pankcakes for breakfast. Daddy worked more on his diffeq test and then we all got ready and headed out to church. When we got back home we stopped in the yard for a few family pictures:

We headed inside for lunch. Just grabbed sandwiches really quick because the girls were itchin' to get outside and hunt eggs again! I finished first so I went out and hid the eggs in the front yard. Total count for two girls: 50! Before you see the pics, we know our yard is a hot mess. Daddy is working really hard on it! While daddy was deployed I had a mulcher blade put on the lawn mower to make it easier for the person that mowed our yard. It caused problems with dandelions and all kinds of weeds! YIKES! And I haven't had the chance to get out and trim our hedges and clean out the flower beds but it's coming soon! ;-) So back to the egg hunt...
The little Princess RAN out of the garage as if she were in stiff competition Egg hunting! LOL!

She literally searched high and low. Look at that stretch!

Daddy was in on the fun. He kept the girls entertained with his skilz in easter egg hoops! LOL!

The Lil' Cupcake was on the prowl too! She had the hang of what was going on this time!

We had originally planned on going to my grandmothers (traditionally we do), however, Daddy still had to finish that darn test and Mommy wasn't feeling so hot. So we skipped it and stayed home. We still ended up having a wonderful day with the girls.

I finally was able to cook the hubby his birthday dinner he'd requested.... Lasagna. My mom and stepdad called and wanted to stop in to see the girls on their way back to the hospital to see Katie. It was nice that we all got to enjoy dinner together. The girls were happy to see them! Speaking of Katie, she is doing better every day! She has tried to talk! Her speech isn't back to normal yet and she can't say alot yet. BUT, she's still healing. Her mind is sharp as a tack! Yay! Praise God for the Easter blessings for her and her mommy and daddy!

How was your Easter Sunday?

City Egg Hunt (Saturday)

I've got so many pics this weekend I am going to do two posts to re-cap! This will be my "Saturday" post!

We started our day with an Egg hunt! The weather was pretty cruddy during the morning. Dreary and on and off rain. But, the city we live in has the egg hunt at the soccer fields every year. I've been going forever! The girls love it. This was the first year the Lil' Cupcake could participate. Since I had the camera I went with the Princess and Daddy helped the Lil' cupcake. At first Daddy was showing her what to do (I can not believe how tall she looks in this pic!)

Then she got the hang of it!

The Princess would hardly look at me so I could get a pic. She was all about this egg hunt!

Can you see all the people in the background? And ALL THOSE EGGS????!!! I do love our city for doing this for the kids! It's such a great event. The morning hunt is ages 0-5. The night before they have a night/flashlight egg hunt for older kids.

After the city hunt we took daddy for his birthday lunch at Red Robin. I didn't take the camera in so no pics there. But by the time we got home, it was HOT and SUNNY! Daddy was working on a differential equations take home test so I took the girls outside and grabbed popsicles!

Einie WAS relaxing in the shade until the girls saw him. The Lil' cupcake ran over to him first and then the Princess followed. He's not the biggest fan of the Princess. He tolerates her but she was the baby that 'dethroned' him.

The Lil' Cupcake came along second so he holds no hard feelings with her. By then he had figured out he really was our pet and not the baby anymore. LOL!

Hmmm...sidewalk chalk or popsicle, or both?

The afternoon included lots of fun outside. Jumping on the trampoline and swinging.

She was loving that popscicle!

The Lil' Cupcake's favorite outside pastime is SLIDING!
I grabbed the Princess and put them on the slide together and the next thing I know, she was lovin' on her sister.

Ofcourse both of the girls enjoyed the egg hunt so much we had one at home to practice for Easter Sunday!

I hope everyone enjoyed their Saturday as much as we did!
Have a blessed night!

School Easter Egg Hunt

!!Warning!!! Picture OVERLOAD...

Today the school had their annual Easter egg hunt and party. It was SO much fun! It was chaos, but fun! There wasn't room to park when I got there! There were so many parents there supporting their kiddos. I was torn because I had to be with one baby girl at a time. The hubster couldn't make it and Gigi was just back to work from being off and at the hospital. The lil' cupcakes class hunted eggs first. At the start of the hunt she was looking at all the other kids picking up eggs and putting them in their baskets and then the light went off. I kept showing her eggs...next thing I know:
She was not happy when the egg hunt was over and they sent her class back inside!
I showed her how to open the eggs and we pulled out a reese cup. I popped it in her mouth and walla:
Next up it was the Princess turn! She got out the door last but enjoyed every minute of the egg hunt!

I have the hardest time getting her to look at me when I take pics but I finally got one!
And because the lil' cupcake cried when I was going to hunt eggs with the Princess they let me take her out on the egg hunt with another class. The director yelled for me to check out what she was up to at one point in the Egg Hunt and I saw her trying to take eggs from a sweet little boy!

After her egg hunt was over they sent her class to the big kid playground to enjoy the 'carnival' they had set up for the kids. Popcorn, snowcones, and playground equipment with lots of toys. What more could a kid ask for?!

Tomorrow is another big day for us. My wonderful hubby has a birthday! Woot Woot! He's so awesome so expect another good mushy post!
