Easter Fun

Okay, so I know I'm way behind but at least I have an excuse these days : ) We've had such a busy and exciting week and I've had so much to post about, but quite honestly I seem to have lost something. Has anyone seen my energy because I believe I misplaced it somewhere? I have gotten so behind on so many things this past month or two but I'm not giving up. I'm still searching high and low.

Seriously, I don't remember ever feeling so tired with my other pregnancies. I do seem to have that mama brain though and have the gift of letting go of the not so glorious pregnancy moments. Like ahem, natural childbirth. But we won't go there right now. No we won't. I have 28 more weeks before I have to worry about that. But I guess it is quite possible I always have gotten this tired and sluggish but I've let that part escape my memories of pregnancy.

As far as Easter goes, we had a nice one. Even if we didn't put out the decorations this year, we were able to stay focused on why we were celebrating which was what truly mattered. However last night while we were straightening up the garage I asked Josh if he could put the Easter storage bins back into the attic when he got a chance. Gracie looks at me and says "but... but we haven't even decorated yet!" This is just the way our life is right now. Things are getting better though. I can feel it. I actually scrubbed the back porch this morning. That was a sign that I needed to see because I have a lot of catching up to do.

At least I did make sure we dyed Easter eggs this year as we always do.

This first photo shows the kids dying eggs with church friends at a birthday party.

And then we also did them at home and they even asked to do it again. But mama said no.

.
Fletcher made himself a monogrammed egg with a little help from Daddy.

and then couldn't help himself from eating one.

Easter morning...
.
This is such a cheesy picture to me but Colton's smile made me laugh! And Fletcher's too but his always does.




Later on that afternoon we went to Grandma and Papa's for a delicious dinner and Easter egg hunt.

Sweet girls Gracie and Faith
.
Fletch was an Egg hunting champion...
.
but Colton found the golden egg in Papa's grill.
.
Gracie didn't do too bad herself. She found as many as her basket could possibly hold.
.
After the hunt we came inside to feast on this rabbit. Wow was it yummy! Nice work Grandma and thanks for the Easter outfits for the kids. They were perfect!

Hope your Easter was Egg-stra special!
