Easter

Last Thursday we went to see the Easter Bunny with Ben & his mommy. I am not even going to bother scanning the picture we got from that escapade. Sophie, who doesn't know a stranger, sat on his lap just fine. Sam was tentative but agreed to sit next to him. Jules was shaking and crying and kept scooting away from him. So she was crying in the picture and Sam and Sophie looked dazed and refused to smile. It would have been cuter and funnier if they would have just all cried!

We had our egg hunt on Saturday since it was so nice, and the kids don't know the difference yet. They got so into it and had a blast! I filled plastic eggs with one M&M and one jelly bean each. They thought they had hit the jackpot!


Then they would come across one of the eggs that we had dyed. They called them "Big eggs." Big eggs were not even basket worthy. They just tossed them back into the grass.
No treats = Useless!
We somehow got them to come back inside to see the Easter baskets that the bunny brought. They dragged them back outside (it's just their favorite place to be lately). The baskets were full of all the stuff these two year olds love. Bubbles, sidewalk chalk shaped like eggs, new water bottles, movies....
Sam decided to sample the bubbles. He just looks so sneaky!
Sunday we got ready for church in Topeka.





It's hard to get a pic where everyone looks good, so this is the best of the bunch.

It was a good Easter, full of fun, family, and more sugar than the kids usually get in a year. Seriously.

No treats = useless! That cracked me up!

I love the big purple headbands the girls wore for Easter!

I don't even remember... maybe Marshmallow Kisses. It was last year, and now that store is gone :(
