Easter Round Three

Last but certainly not least we celebrated Easter a week late with my parents this weekend.  The Easter Bunny made one last visit, he must be as tired as we are with all of these appearances!

There was one more egg hunt and one last ham!  I am pretty sure I don't need to eat again for another week.  However, I'll be spending the next week in Germany and for all of you who know me, know that I will spend each and every free moment I have belly up to a pastry stand!  My mouth is watering as I type.

Enjoy the last of the Easter pictures.

Figuring out there are eggs outside with their names on them

I mean really, how could you not love this little guy!!

Helping little brother out.

Easter Bunny Love

The Easter Bunny visited our house while we were in Wisconsin, boy was he good to the kids.

He left a trail of carrots around the house, the kids thought that was hysterical.

He even hid the Easter baskets

Once Finn found his basket and discovered there were cars in there.....

He didn't care about any of the other gifts!

Olivia had some troubles finding her basket

But once she did, she was a happy little girl.

After we finished with the baskets we had another egg hunt.

Finn was such a good little brother.  Every time he found an egg that was a color that Olivia would like he ran over to give it to her.  He ended up with about 10 eggs and Olivia had a whole basket full!

After the egg hunt was over it was time to play with all of our new toys!

Easter in Wisconsin

We celebrated Easter with the Waletzko side of the family last weekend.  The cousins had so much fun playing together.  Our kids came home exhausted.

We, of course, had to start the trip with a stop at Carr Valley Cheese.  The kids think it is a must to stop and say hi to Egor the mouse.  This time, however, was a little different as it was Egor's birthday!

While we were in Wisconsin we made a trip to see some baby sheep.  They were so cute, some were less than six hours old!!

Finn was more interested in chasing and terrorizing the farm cats.  Would you expect anything else?

How cute are they?

Petting the sheep.

Once we returned from the farm we had a glow in the dark Easter Egg hunt.  The eggs didn't glow very well but the kids still managed to have fun.

We'll be making a few more trips up there shortly as we are expecting a few little additions to the family this summer and early fall!  YAH!

Ribbit Ribbit

The kids have a new friend.  It is inevitable, every year we have a few little toads living in our backyard.  The kids actually love them, picking them up and petting them like little pets each chance they get.

This little guy was discovered while we were preparing our backyard for Spring.

Easter Preparation

We are getting ready for Easter around here.  Olivia cannot stop talking about hunting for Easter eggs!

The Easter Bunny made an appearance at the local grocery store this weekend so we just had to go see him.  The poor teenage boy who had to put that costume on did not know what he was getting himself into!  I hope he made a few extra dollars during that event!

Our kids had to hug and kiss the Easter Bunny before we left.

Decorating cookies!

The more frosting the better!

We can never leave the grocery store without doing some shopping.  Note the Hot Wheels that made it into Finn's cart.  Those were not Mother approved and did not make it home!

And to end the weekend....a little digging in the dirt.  

Next on the agenda - decorating Easter Eggs!

Sorry Friends

I've been away for too long!  The weather is starting to turn, smiles are getting bigger and exciting times are around the corner.

Here are a few photo's from the past few weeks.

{Playing trains in his PJ's and Easter hat...that he prefers to wear backwards}

{Get rid of that snow son}

{Finn loves his cars, even the pink ones.  This week he has stopped playing with the cars and has started to "work" on them with his screwdriver.  I asked him if he was playing mechanic to which he promptly replied "No Mommy, I not chanic, I Dr. Finny"}

{No trip to Lowes is complete without playtime on the tractors}

{Can you hear him, Daddy can we please buy one....please}

The Great Train Expo

There was a train show in town this weekend.  Something that was right up Finn's alley!

We were going to take the kids down there on Saturday but the flu bug hit our little Livie!  Poor girl was down for the count the entire day.

Sunday rolled around and Livie was much better so we packed them up and headed to see the choo choo's.  Finn was more than excited, he was in hog Heaven.  He even dressed the part!  Olivia wanted no part of her cute overalls.  She had to have a dress on.

There really wasn't much, it wasn't too impressive.  But they did have a train the kids could ride.
