Easter :)

I was SO thrilled that Lani and her family came here for Easter weekend!  We had so dang much fun!  I can't say we did a ton but we did laugh... a lot!  First we took the little kids to the Easter "Race".  I can't say hunt because it is literally a race!  We ended up getting in line at a perfect time in a less crowded spot!  Lucky us!  The weather was chilly but sunny and NOT snowy!! So it was great!!! 



 We made all 4 of them race on the 7-8 year old field.  The went in - - (no parents allowed in the gates..... cuz to many parents are crazy!!)  


 3....2....1... GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 You would almost think we had the field to ourselves but there were a ton of kids!  Ours are just the fastest ;)  !!


 They gathered those hundreds of eggs in about 5 seconds flat!!  
 And it's over just like that!  
 Lexie got so excited about her arm around Jake she scratched his neck so that explains his tears.... they aren't tears of sadness over eggs.!


 Then in the afternoon the boys and Isabelle went shooting and we stayed back at the house and went to a few stores and made slime!  Our group was thrilled with those events.






 A random baby bunny picture.
 This year for Easter I get a big mom fail award!  This is the only picture I have of easter baskets.... not so well done on my part!  
 A few pictures of the kids playing who can we knock over on their bikes with the pitching machine before Lani's family had to go home!


 A picture of both of our kids!  

I was so happy to have her and her family here!  I actually talked to her on the next Friday and told her I was hoping my weekend sister was coming back this weekend... no luck.  But it was worth a try!!  Maybe again another day!

The Chalk Walk :)

At the elementary school the kids had a fundraiser and it was SO much fun!  It was a chalk walk!  When I first got there this is what I saw..... a million kids in white shirts!!!  How was I ever going to find my kids in the sea of white!?!?!?!  Don't worry - - they found me!  YAY!  Every lap they finished they got sprayed with chalk so they start white and end colorful!  They LOVED it!













 It was so great to watch them both having fun with their friends!













 He LOVES it when she finds him and gives him a big squeeze!  It sounds like she finds him once a day for his hug!  He says he hates it but my guess is he is waiting for her at the end of her lunch everyday looking forward to his hug!











It was a fantastic afternoon!  They got to play and have fun with their friends and I got to visit with mine too!
