The hunts...

I have a phrase or motto that I say several times a day that encourages me to be a better Mom. It is: "It's not about me."
It reminds me that even when I don't want to play Candyland, or walk to the park, or read the really long stories or stop and watch the 100th summersalt- I need to- because it's not about what I want- it's about my kids doing what brings them joy, and at their little ages, the smallest things bring the greatest happiness- hence the Easter egg hunts. Why not let them get excited about something? Why not let them run and collect eggs that make them squeal with delight? Why not have 3? And so we did...

The Bunny Cake...

It pretty much looks the same every year, but it's tradition and must be posted about!

Eggs...

The Easter festivities began a few days ago, including:
3 Easter egg hunts. Dying Easter eggs. Making the Bunny cake. Going to Church. And reading our Easter story in eggs.

Grace asleep on the bathroom floor...

Last week after we came home from Kara's house, Grace started feeling really sick. It was totaly out of the blue, only lasted for a hour and when I went to check on her, I found her asleep on the bathroom floor! After she woke up, she looked at me and said, "I feel better now, Mom."

The Girls...

Here we are last week, and yes, someone covered the flash again!

Willow isn't the baby anymore...

Willow is definatly growing up these days! It's pretty funny when she tries to put diapers on her babies!

Playing with friends...

Last week we went over to kara's house to play for a few hours. The girls had fun while kara & I layed on the couch and tried to do as little as possible.

Say Cheese...

Willow has started to do the cheesy smile when you say, "Say Cheese"
