Easter

We have had a fairly normal week, got our desktop back - yay, went visiting teaching {3 out of 4 of us anyway}, Owen ran in his school's annual Fun Run, and we had a nice Easter weekend.

I must say that I really like having Easter later in the month. We even had sun all weekend which has been a rarity lately. And I had time to get ready for the holiday without scrambling...too much. :)

We had an egg hunt Saturday afternoon.

 Owen was trying to be nice and give Reid some of his eggs.

 Reid thought he was trying to get rid of eggs he didn't want.

 This went on for a while before Owen gave up. :)

 This is me saying..."Hey kids, pose for a picture.....okay...this will do. I guess"

 This is also when we realized that Owen had his shirt tucked into his underwear. Ha ha...

 I was sneaky and filled all the eggs with Lucky Charms instead of candy. Hey...they're sweet enough right? :) I have issues with candy overload.

 Here is Owen with all his loot. We took a trip to the local grocery store for their annual hunt...which is really just like trick or treating. I hate going, but the kids love it. They gave the Easter bunny a hug and we got some wacky pictures on our phones.

 We got to play outside some more this weekend...it was glorious. Reid spent a good chunk of his time hunting for bugs. Here is a May fly on Reid's hand. He had been playing with it for a while...so it is looking pretty crooked and sad.

Owen kept asking Jared to play baseball with him. We would put Owen on a team but we don't know where we will be living in two months or less.

Kind of hard to plan... So for now Jared practices with him and he loves it.

 Jared got this picture of Reid and I. I love it.

We dyed eggs on Friday and 'hid' them in our wheat grass, along with a chocolate bunny to decorate our dinner table.

We ate Mr. Bunny for dessert with strawberries and cream. The kids couldn't wait to break into the bunny. He was completely distracting for the whole dinner.

 Easter dinner actually happened on Saturday night. We had plans to go to our friend's house for Sunday dinner, but then had to cancel because Jared's sinus infection took a turn for the worse. Our dear friends brought us dinner anyway. I am going to miss them...if we move.

 We made white chocolate egg shell peeps like we did last year. The boys begged pretty much everyday to do this. And then when all was said and done...they just wanted to eat the peeps. :) The shell got nibbled on but that was it. Of course.

Earlier in the week we had a strawberry lemon crepe cake that was soooo good...

With hard boiled eggs - un-dyed.

I am still craving the sweet lemon cream cheese filling I put in between the layers. Yum. Jared requested it for his birthday breakfast already. :)

This week we also...got to babysit a friend's boy who is Reid's age. Reid loved him, which is saying a lot because he tends to pick on other kids we are babysitting. {cringe}

That same night we watched Yogi Bear. Ha. Really, really cheesy, and soooo boring for me, but the boys loved it. Owen would laugh, then Reid, then Micah. It was more fun watching them watch it, I think.

And now...all we want is to find out if Jared got the job(s} he applied for. Cross your fingers.
