Egg Hunter

We had a typical wet Washington Easter…even though we are in Kansas…Kansas, the 4th sunniest state…whatever… I’m just not sure what an egg hunt looks like without rubber boots, hats, wet clothes, the dyed eggs dye running when they come back inside. Maybe next year. :)

We bundled up the kids and Jayden got to business.



Willow hung out on the porch with dad, under a blanket, with a hat on. It just wasn’t very warm. This Kansas, it just really keeps you on your toes.



“I’m looking for something about this big”





“Ahhh, yes. Here it is!”



And since it was so rainy and Jayden has come down with a nasty little head and chest cold, we stayed inside and did inside Eastery things, like decorating bunny sugar cookies with some fantastically bright sprinkles that Grandma and Grandpa sent in their Easter package.


And then things got all crazy : Jayden eater of much too much Easter candy and all hopped up on cough medicine, Willow refuser of afternoon nap and cranky-pants yeller, Royal and Rachel seriously thinking of drinking all the alcohol in the house. But then, miraculously, (thank the Lord for miracles!) both kids in bed and asleep before 7:00. This just proves there is a God, and He knows how much we can handle. Hallelujia!

HAPPY EASTER!

awwww, I just want to kiss that little Willow’s face. Wish we could have combined our lonely Easters and had a grand party…here, where it was sunny today. :)
Miss you guys so much!

Oh my gosh, your little cookies are the bomb! My cookies never turn out like that! Martha Rachel Stewart!

LOL!! Your afternoon/evening closer sounded like my house (add one extra child into the mix). Yours went to bed earlier than mine though. :-)

Next time it will be Nyquil and a shot of rum.
