Spring Wrap Up

All of the craziness of school ending and all of the other Spring events have finally wrapped up and we have somewhat slowed the pace...however, we have so many special events in the month of June that I figured I should probably catch up on Spring before we roll in to Summer.


I skipped right over Easter, which is now Nate's self-proclaimed "favorite holiday".  I am pretty sure that can be directly contributed to all of the candy he ate.  When they woke, the Easter Bunny had left a trail of eggs from their rooms leading them to their buckets.  Nate was very eager to follow the trail (he came bounding in to our room early that morning saying "The Easter Bunny came!") but Matthew was content opening each egg along the trail and having jelly beans for breakfast.  He was in no hurry.

We spent the afternoon enjoying the beautiful Spring day playing in the yard....which entailed a couple of Easter Egg hunts...

I was trying my best to ration the candy intake but at one point I caught Nate hiding under a chair snarfling down M&M's

Then Nate was kind enough to hide all of his eggs for me to find

Then played a round of crocquet

Then the boys wanted to try out the kites that the Easter Bunny brought them...unfortunately we didn't have much luck with take off

 Little Brother had to try too

It was a lovely family day....but this is the best family shot we got
