EASTER!!!!

So, as I said in my last post....our Easter weekend was full of A LOT of activity!

Saturday, we hit up my mom's Church Easter Egg Hung...

Isn't that hat hysterical!!! My mom got all the girls those bunny hats, the big girl was obsessed :)

That's my dad on the left....check out the basket FULL of eggs! The girls seriously cleaned up...the eggs were filled with candy, so we came home with all kinds of loot! That's me and my mom on the right....can you tell I'm oozing enthusiasm here?!?!

After the egg hunt, we headed to lunch, and then had some friends over for a cook out. It was fun, but in retrospect, I would have been MUCH better rested for all the responsibilities that involve hosting Easter dinner the next day if we hadn't cooked out the night before....sigh.

Remember my "steal" I got off amazon?? Well it was delivered Saturday....hello? That's super fast! I was hoping the hubster could get it put together and we could have it set out as an easter surprise, but apparently it's like 85 pieces ( I didn't see that mentioned in any of the reviews) so alas, it is still in the shed, waiting to be assembled.

Easter morning came, and the kids were so happy to see that the Easter Bunny came through!


All the girls got the same thing in their baskets, so here is a close up of the big girl's basket, so you can get an idea of what was in there (I'll have a break down at the end of the post)

Aren't the stuffed bunny's cute??? I know, I know....I could kick myself for bringing MORE stuffed animals into my house...they are seriously taking over, but they were too cute to pass up!



little bunnies!!!

Who's ready for the beach?? She wore this bathing suit all morning long!

I'm mad I didn't get any pictures of our food table, but I was so busy getting every thing together, it was insane.

In the insanity, we also forgot to take a family Easter picture (insert sad face)

I won't blame you if you're scared...

Do you know how hard it is to find a non-creepy/scary looking raggedy ann doll????

okay, the one above isn't too bad....but trust me, in my search I have come across some pretty frightening images.

Firstly, I'm shocked at how expensive some of these dolls are....they are rag dolls! All because of nostalgia they have become over-priced collectors pieces. I just want a cute, soft raggedy ann doll my girls can love on!

Secondly, why do they all have to be huge! I want a smaller sized one, and the only "semi-cute" ones I can find are like 18 in.! Too much raggedy for me!

ANNOYING

I'm probably over-analyzing (as I have a tendency to do). I had a raggedy ann doll when I was little, and judging from my internet search, most of the raggedy's from the 80's.....are pretty creepy looking! So, chances are, mine was creepy as well, but I still loved her just the same!

well, the search will continue I guess.....

I'm currently in full-on plan mode. I'm hosting Easter dinner this year (seriously, what was I thinking)?

It's just family, nothing too outrageous, but planning and executing with 3 little rascals around won't exactly be the easiest thing I've done, I always seem to pull things off at the last second though, so we shall see :)

SPRING!!!!

So, once we put St. Patrick's Day on the books, I hauled out my Easter Decorations and went to town...

This is my hutch, the first thing you see when you walk in my house ( cell phone pic, sorry if it's dark)


I love it!!! I got the SPRING banner from Target, and the bunny is left over from last year.

I'm heading to Michael's later today to scoop up some more stuff, my mantle needs some color...pics soon!

In other news, yesterday the twinners had their 18 month checkup!

18 months!?!?!? Where has the time gone! They were good as gold "reading" their books in the waiting room.

Only 2 shots :( but the Dr. said no more shots til their 4, so yay for that!

Happy Tuesday Everyone!
