Busy, Busy, Busy.

No, I have not fallen off the face of the planet. I know it has been OVER a week since my last post. The only explanation is.... life is BUSY!
Spring has sprung, I have spring fever...the kids at school have spring fever, the teachers at school REALLY have spring fever.... I think a side effect of spring fever... is a busy life.

Spring brings household chores. I have so many things on my "to do" list. There are so many household/yard projects. That makes me busy.

Spring brings field trips and special projects, MAP testing and academic competitions...this all makes me busy.

Spring brings Baseball. Cardinal's baseball (watching the games on TV)....
makes me busy---- I can't miss the game to do silly things like housework.
Jake's baseball team is also now in full swing. With 2 games a week plus practices... that makes me busy.

SO -- in short... I am sorry that the posts have been sparse lately....
life is....BUSY.

The Egg Hunt

Click on photos to enlarge.....

Easter is about many things.

Without question....the true meaning and importance of the day should NEVER be lost.

We as Christians ...know that HE IS RISEN to save us ALL.

And we CELEBRATE!

That being said.... we also know that the day is also a day of gathering.

We gather as followers.... of Christ.

We gather as families... to celebrate.

We gather around the table and sample all the traditional foods of the season

AND

WE GATHER..... EASTER EGGS !!!!

Everyone loves Easter Egg hunts ! It is part of the fun.

This year we went to Granny's and had a GREAT BIG Easter Egg Hunt.

The cousins came for the fun (not all of the cousins...and the others were missed).

Rowdy and I helped out the bunny by hiding 250+ eggs.

That is a lot of eggs for 5 kids to find.

AND it was fun.

I don't think we found all the eggs....

so Granny may find some when she mows the grass.

But... it was FUN.

Eggs,Eggs,Eggs

No matter how old you are...you always enjoy coloring Easter Eggs.

This year we tried tye-dying the eggs. The kids wrapped the egg up in a wet cloth and used an eye dropper to drop the dye onto the cloth covered eggs. It was fun and made some cool effects. They loved it....

which is good...cause that is why we do it.

Happy coloring everyone!!!
