Our Easter Weekend = Fun FUN FUN!!

Easter was a crazy busy weekend full of all kinds of events. We had to be ready and at an egg hunt by 10 am and that's quite the task for a Saturday morning with four kids. After that egg hunt the next one started at 11:30 so we went over to the next one that was only for Madison and Katie's age group so the girls got even more candy! They also had games, crafts, a cake walk (we won two cakes! So we donated one to a family who didn't win one) and then we headed home to get ready for a birthday biking party. The kids raced endlessly around the tracks, showing off all their moves and tricks.

We came home and Katie took a nap, we got a little rest and then the kids got to open up the Easter box grandma had sent them. There was all kind of cool things inside and lots of snacks and treats for the kids to share. Grandma sent us plastic eggs with confetti that got all over but I think the kids had more fun with the easter grass on their heads. We also dyed our Easter eggs that night too! Always chaos and messy but still lots of fun.

Sunday we had our morning coffee, the kids woke up and opened their baskets too. We got ready for church and got into our Easter outfits. The kids looked so cute. We came home and had a big brunch, went on our egg hunt and then the kids and I went to the park with Adda and played fetch with her. We ended our evening with a beautiful ham, egg, asparagus and potato dinner and it was just a great weekend!

Day 2 of Happiness - Watching my girls play

Today is day 2 of my happiness challenge and to take photos of things that make me happy/or smile. One memory I will always cherish is that I love watching my girls play. I wish it happened more often but usually it ends up in a battle of who gets what toy and mommy has to break up the fight. Still I know in their heart of hearts that they love each other so much and one day I hope they will be best friends and pick each other up when one is down. That is truly what family is meant to be for.

Watching Katie Play

One of the most amazing moments in your life is to just sit and watch your daughter play. She is so sweet, fun and so full of imagination. And I must be the coolest mommy ever to let my daughter jump on her bed cause pretty sure I would have been grounded if I were a kid! :)

The reason for these pictures is I took on a 100 day challenge. To take photos of things that make you happy. I had a endless list of things I wanted to photograph but today the sun was shining through the house (YAY! SUNSHINE!) Katie was in a GREAT mood and it was a must to take pictures of her because that is HAPPINESS. Seeing your daughter smile brings a smile to my face and that is the start of my hundred day challenge.

Here I am trying to lay her down for naptime.... only she thinks it's time to play peek a boo :)

I am in my room folding laundry and I here her giggling and this is my view. She is trying to get my attention. I don't think she will nap today. LOL

Hi Mommy! Aren't I adorable
