Easter 2013

Everyone slept in on Easter morning, but once we were all up, we started looking to see if the Easter Bunny had stopped by. He had! There were little eggs everywhere, and the girls had to find the path of the eggs in number order to find their baskets. (It sounds very complicate, but it wasn't!) The girls had a great time finding all their little treats! It was a much more relaxing hunt this year for me, since I was in labor while they were hunting. :) We had a great Easter lunch over at our house with Holly, Benton, Callie, Connor, Lani, and Amy. The kids had a fun time playing at the house, and of course, they loved finding all the eggs in the front yard. And the candy they got was alright, too :)

Scared of the Easter Bunny

I was putting the girls to bed the night before Easter, and they started talking about how they were scared of the Easter Bunny. I told them that he was just like Santa, and he was nothing to be scared of. Then, I asked Adilyn why she was scared of the Easter Bunny but not the Tooth Fairy. She looked at me like I was an idiot, and said, "Because the Tooth Fairy is tiny, and the Easter Bunny is a big, huge bunny!" I couldn't argue with that, so I just told her not to worry about it because bunnies can't climb upstairs. That was good enough for her because she gave up after that! Thank goodness!

Our Beautiful Easter Eggs

I absolutely love dyeing Easter eggs. I am pretty sure that I even dyed eggs before we had kids! It's so much fun, cheap, and easy. I try to do something a little experimental every year, and every year it is a disaster. This year was no exception! I love Pinterest for all the fabulous ideas, but I would say at least half the time my Pinterest projects are Pinterest fails! Well, I had seen something about melting crayons and rolling the eggs in it. Yeah, that didn't work, but I did waste a lot of my precious time peeling and shaving those damn crayons. We also tried to cover plastic eggs with Modge Podge and tissue paper. Again, not a great idea we got super sticky and had tissue paper all stuck to our fingers! Thank goodness we had the old fallback egg dye tablets or the whole thing would have been disastrous! The girls had fun with all of it, and I love making those memories with them (even if it's filled with a tiny bit of frustration on my part!)

Kacy's Last Soccer Game

Soccer ended on Easter weekend, and it was a pretty good game! We actually scored a goal, which hadn't happened in a few games :) Kacy still stayed out of the action for most of the season, but at least she was out there running around. She did what she was supposed to, and she seemed to have fun. I never had to bribe her to get out on the field, which was an improvement from our last soccer experience. ;) Cory and Shane did a fabulous job with coaching, and I think all the parents were happy about the way the season went. They were very patient, organized, and motivating! All of those qualities were essential to remain sane throughout the season. It was cute how many of them wanted to hug both of them after each game!

Easter Egg Hunt

Last year, we went to the Hrobars church for Palm Sunday to participate in their egg hunt, and we tagged along this year again. The kids always have so much fun, and it is amazing how quickly those kids snatch up the eggs! It was pretty chilly, but that didn't slow anybody down.

Kacy's Gymnastics

Kacy has loved her gymnastics class! She is doing pretty well, and she is having a great time. Her teacher is fantastic, and they do a variety of different activities that help them with balance, coordination, and strength. I think it is great for her confidence (not that she needs any help with that), but it's still a great learning experience for her. 

Kacy's Art

Kacy has been drawing and decorating things for a long time, but recently, she has been drawing these little alien looking people. Every time she draws one, she wants me to try to figure out who it is. Of course, they all look alike, and of course, she is always so excited for me to guess. So, I go through the list of all the people we love, and eventually I will guess the right one. Luckily, she doesn't get mad at me for not "recognizing" our loved one :)
I think this one was Adilyn, but it could have been Pops for all I know!
