Easter!

For Easter we had Emily and Jonathan and the boys over for a fun easter egg hunt in our little park.   The dads went and hid the eggs in the park while Emily and I got the kids shoes on and then we went out and had a fun hunt.  I've got some videos that I'm working on uploading.  we had a lot of fun.  We had a little lunch and I tried a recipe from my childhood, Elizabeth use to make rainbow jello for Alexis and I ( I don't remember it but Alexis insisted that I'd eaten it) It turned out really good.  If you want to give it a try go to www.cooks.com and search rainbow Jello fingers, The white stuff is sweetened condensed milk.
Here is this weeks Prego picture. 20 weeks! This baby is getting big and starting to kick me a lot.  I'm halfway done and looking forward to this being over!

I think it may be time to potty train, Violet has become obsessed with putting toilet paper in the potty and saying bye bye!

Violet making sure there is enough TP in the toilet.  Oh joy.

Our little easter Princess, heading down the stairs to church, it was just starting to rain and by the time we got to church it was pouring and we were in the middle of a Tornado watch!  We survived and by the time we left church it was a beautiful sunny day and mid 70's!  The weather in Texas can be crazy!  I have a video of it pouring buckets of rain maybe I'll post that too!



Violet relaxing with her easter eggs last night.  These are the eggs she found in the Hunt and we just put them in her basket with a few special easter treats for this morning.  I have been working on Enrichment a lot lately.  We've finally been able to get some activities up and running and I'm really excited about it.  Check out our enrichment blog www.friendswoodfirstenrichment.blogspot.com!  We are having a women's retreat in a few weeks and I get to go to Louisiana for the first time.  I'm very excited about that.
Here is video of the hunt.  We had so much fun.  Wesley was really the only one who really got it.  Violet wanted to swing and Sam enjoyed shaking one for a while and that was pretty much it.  Wesley had a blast!  Next year will be really fun, when all three will probably understand it more.
This is Violet and Wesley on the See Saw at our park.

The Easter Bunny came this morning.  Violet really enjoyed herself.  We have eggs all over our living room now.
