Good Friday: Easter Egg Hunt & 7th Birthday Bash for my Pumpkin

Birthday Boy...

Hunting with his Birthday Balloon in tow...

Note the Tasmanian Devil on a Hog...there may have been some coersion from the Mama when it came to balloon selection...

Baby's First Easter Egg Hunt...

Yes. We still call him "The Baby."

No. I don't look forward to the day that he catches on and says,

"I'm not a baby!"

Team Toddler Trouble

Hunt in Progress...

Not a bad turnout!

Candy Consumption in Progress...

I love her expression here!

Torturing our children by asking them to look into the sun and smile...

And they all try to cooperate! This cracks me up!

It donned on the camera person that better results may be achieved by selecting a different local...

Slightly better local...

Post Party...

Monsters vs. Aliens

Bennett and I went to see a 3D flick on Easter Sunday; a first for both of us!

Before we exited the theatre, Bennett was asking when we could go back and see it again! He carried his glasses around with him for three days...

It's that time of year again...

Washing Plastic Eggs from Easters past...

Drying in the sun...

Yes. I typed SUN! Here's hope that this lovely weather can stick around for the long weekend! Now, is this enough eggs for an Easter Egg Hunt, or do I need to buy more? Estimating 6-8 kiddos of basket bearing age...

We Re-scheduled Easter

It was actually warm enough to take off coats, so I attempted to get a nice shot of them in their Easter Outfits...the baby wanted no part of it!

Nothing posed about this pic, sheesh...

BP2 had more important places to go...like over to the flower bed to eat some bark mulch...

He still prefers to crawl and is severely offended when made to stand against his will!

So, I gave up on the baby and got this shot. How come they look like they are preparing to go to mass and repent of their sins? I fold.

le Sick. le Ick.

We re-scheduled Easter. At least the kiddie side of things. Yesterday, the Annual Easter Egg Hunt of my youth went off without a hitch. 'Twas a bunny bling, bubble fun time! Seven participants, under the age of six, this year. Four hundred pictures to sort through. I called my grandma to tell her that the hunt was alive and well...year three...in a new country, for the next generation.

Lukey has Miss K's bug; coming out both ends with gusto. Suits him right for pulling her hair every time he sees her! Less than an hour into our day and we are both two outfits and two baths down.

Happy Easter to All!

I have finally met my nephew. His cuteness and sweetness is enough to make me drool on myself. I am in love. That said, I am glad I do not live this far north. It is still winter up here. Brrr.

Be Warned! You Could Be Next!

Last day of March today.
We are getting into the Easter Spirit around here...
The Fake Rabbit Ears have Sprung!
Be warned! You could be next!
