We've had a rainy, rainy string of days. The breaks in between showers are brief, and the mud is in full force this spring. The bonus of a wet spring is GREEN grass :O) The downside would be that the grass grows quickly, but the ground is too saturated to keep it mowed. We take the good with the bad! Right now, we are enjoying a (windy) break from rain. I'm letting the 3 youngest play outside, despite the mud, while the sun shines for a bit!
We had a wonderful Easter. Besides Avery waking up at 3 a.m. and then waking Silas up, it was a perfect day. We made them stay in bed until 8, and then they got up and checked out their baskets. The Easter bunny always hides eggs, so they hunted eggs and then we had a family breakfast. We made it to the late service at church and then went to Grandma Debbie and Papaw Randy's for lunch. The kids had a ton of fun. We stayed all afternoon, and came home just shortly before bedtime. Here are some pictures from our Easter this year:
 |
| Silas checking out his basket (poor lighting, sorry!!) |
 |
| Nolan was bouncing his new ball up and down. Made for another blurry shot! |
 |
| Avery hunting eggs! |
 |
| Chaille wanted MORE chocolate. I have to add here that her new favorite thing is chocolate. If you ask her what she wants for supper, she'll say "chocolate." She also loves to tell you "chocolate is GOOD!" |
 |
| Chaille is daddy's princess. They make such a sweet pair! |
 |
| Silas was excited to hunt eggs at Grandma's too! |
 |
| Chaille snatched a few eggs for herself. :O) |
 |
| Nolan liked to open each egg as he went! |
 |
| Avery and his egg catcher were busy finding them as quickly as he could! |
 |
| A real smile. These are hard to catch when he knows the camera is out. He likes to make silly smiles when he knows you are taking his picture! |
 |
| "Helping" grandma by washing her cars and trucks. |
 |
| Aww.... |
 |
| These two are a pair. Right now they both have runny noses again :O( |
