Easter Stuff!

Now you will all know that I am a horrible mother for sure. This is the first Easter that we colored eggs. Yes, I know! Horrible huh!?! Well I will just tell you the truth, I can get slightly stressed out when my kids are doing things that can cause a big mess. If you know my family at all you'll know I get it honestly. I have lightened up, I think, so the night before Easter I tried to find egg coloring kits but of course, no one near by had any. So I bought some markers (something I don't usually let my kids use unless its crayola wonder markers, marker on my dining room table and the business lap top computer helped make that decision), some paints and let them go to town (without having a nervous breakdown either). They, of course, had a blast! Here are pics of each of them working on their creations. I must still have the picture of the finished products on my camera, or I am totally blind, since I couldn't see it on my computer so I will get that up so you can see what a great job they did. And I promise I will be a better mom from now on and let them color eggs.

After church on Easter sunday JJ, Megan and their kids came over for dinner and an Easter egg hunt. Makinlee cracked me up looking for "the #1 eggs"! "Look!" she would yell, "it's a #1!" all ten times. Later we walked over to the park to let the kids hit some balls. Kobe has started baseball and has had a couple of games and he is loving it. After the game this past Friday we were driving home and he says "mom!" me - "what but?" "It's so awesome cause I get to play baseball two days cause I just had my game and tomorrow I get to have practice." I hope he keeps that enthusiasm! (I will post some video clips) We had an awesome Easter and we hope you did too. Here are some picks of the kids in their Sunday Easter clothes, hunting for eggs and playing baseball. Notice all their faces when they are swinging. LOL!
