On a Wednesday...

I realized that I haven't blogged in a week.  It has just been a bit hectic around here, and I hope to do better!  Just for fun, bunny pictures of the kiddos.  W's face was still swollen from surgery when these were taken.

Have a great day!

Easter 2012

We made it to church just in time for the sunrise service!  That is great for us, since that was our only service today. :-)  I love church year round, but the Easter service is always super special.  After the service, we had a church breakfast, and even W, with his super swollen face (He had 10 teeth pulled Friday in oral surgery.) had a good time.  Then we headed home, checked out what the Easter Bunny left for the kiddos, and then had a little egg hunt/pick up with D and M in the yard to get pictures of their church clothes.

D's shirt did start out being tucked in, but it came out.

M's tights aren't too cute, but it was chilly here this morning!

The egg hunt/pick up.

I got eggs!

I put mine in my bucket!

Yes, the little ones got Easter buckets.  They have baskets, but they love to play outside with buckets and shovels, so it seemed fitting.

Now, the little ones are down for their naps before a family lunch and egg hunt.

I hope you all have a happy, safe and blessed Easter.

Peeps for Easter

I love Dana's tutorial for making Peep bunting and all things Peep.  My only problem is pure laziness, or maybe just a lack of time.  So, instead of sewing them together, I hot glue them.  I love my glue gun!

I have made a bunting, lots of magnets, and even used her Peep template to do the freezer paper stencils that I also learned from her blog.  D and M wore them last Easter.

They were so little a year ago!  And, they hadn't started walking yet, so they couldn't run opposite directions!!!

Toddler shirts in solid colors aren't very easy to find, but I did find some, even in the right sizes.  I did use the right kind of paint this year, fabric paint instead of acrylic.  It really did make a difference in how nice the finished shirts looked.  Fabric paint can be found in the t-shirt area of craft stores.

D and M wore their Peep shirts to our church Easter Egg Hunt (indoors due to rain), and for a quick photo trip to Newberry College.

M was ready to hunt some eggs!

D is now a pro egg hunter.

W even got into the hunt!

M enjoyed her cookie!

D denies all knowledge of already having a cookie.

M wanted to see the flowers, and D wanted to make sure that we had noticed the fountain behind us.

Yes, that fountain over there.

We finally had to go inspect the fountain.

And then it was back to smelling flowers.

So serious!

This is how D's mouth looks in the middle of a word.

M posed once she had found a rock.

W in the flowers.  He has been a trooper about his braces!

D was also quite excited to see a tree, which is funny.  There are woods all around our house, and we play outside all the time.

A very determined little M!

One smelling flowers while the other one poses.  That is how most of our pictures turn out.

And... back to the fountain.

Again, he was excited, but he had no clue what it is.

I think the shirts turned out cute, and the kids were hilarious as usual!
