Easter Fun!

This is pretty sad that I haven't had anything exciting to blog about since St. Patrick's Day!!  But on the other hand, no news is usually good news!!

 

We have been SUPER busy at work - and have spent the last 3 weekends working - or I should say Glenn and the guys worked - I chose to stay home and work! (and relax)

 

I do believe it has slowed down to a fast crawl now so hopefully we won't have to work weekends for a while - although my list at home for Glenn is getting longer and longer!!  I always feel bad when he's worked 6 days straight and don't feel he should HAVE to work on his only day off at the house.............

 

BUT everyone took Easter weekend off!!  We left W. Pk about 12:30 as had an appt. in Monument on the way up to Jessi's - that evening while Glenn babysat Evan and Kenzie, Jessi and I headed to The Thorn with a couple of her friends.  We hadn't been to the production since 2007 and of course had only seen it at New Life Church in Co. Springs so it was an entire new experience seeing it at The University of Denver!!

 

The production was fantastic - it has been changed a little bit but of course the story line is the same and we enjoyed it immensely!

 

Early Saturday morning we packed up the car, grabbed some coffee for the road and headed up to Jill's for the weekend!  We met Brad, Rayna and Kylan at Jill's church for the Easter Egg Hunt!!  First was a "show" inside the church and the guest comedian was awesome!!  And then it was outside in the beautiful sunshine for the hunt!

 

 

Blogger has once again mixed up the pictures so bear with them!!

Each adult took a child with them and I had Aleah - when it was time to hunt the eggs, she would pick one up and shake it and if it didn't rattle, she would put it back on the ground - smart kid - she KNEW which ones had candy!!

And then it was back to the house to color Easter eggs!!  The guys took off to fish and left the 6 kids to us - but we all had a great time!!

Jill decided to try the shaving cream method this year!!  Rayna loved doing the eggs this way and even Parker got in on it!!

Here's a peek at the eggs while they were "setting up".

The kids also loved painting the eggs!  And yes, they all had old t-shirts on!

Rayna and Jessi's eggs turned out AWESOME!!!

After the coloring of all the eggs (1 dozen per kid) we cleaned up the mess and let them play with regular shaving cream - even Jill got in on the action!!

I gave the kids their Easter gifts on Saturday since the Smiths were heading back home (Jaime had to work all weekend - boo hoo - we missed them!!!)  They boys look thrilled with their new t-shirts, huh?

But the little girls were all smiles when I handed them matching dresses and scarves!!  Are they not just the cutest little girls ever??????

One more picture with all their Easter candy !

A storm came up late afternoon and it rained!!  Gosh, did it smell good out!!  We had a great dinner of baked spaghetti, salad and garlic bread and for dessert, Oreo fluff - it was all SO GOOD!!

The Smiths left, we got the kids to bed (finally) and us girls watched The Lucky One  and then it was off to bed to get a good nights sleep for Easter Sunday!
