Spring is Here!

Obviously we are not keeping up on our blog as much as we'd hoped too... life has just been busy around here! Anyhow, we are officially on Spring Break (yeah!!!!) and the girls and I have a long and relaxing week filled with... NOTHING! We did this on purpose because we all wanted time to read, go on walks, sleep in and not be on a schedule. We've started seedlings for our garden, tilled up the front flower patch, cleaned out the shed, go out our spring & summer clothes & we are planning a movie day next week too!

I wanted to share some pictures of our St. Patrick's Day celebration and Easter celebrations.

So here is St. Patrick's Day - we traditionally leave out a Leprechaun trap (a green box Emily decorated with gold "coins" and rainbows when she was two years old) and in the morning we always find treats in the box, but no Leprechaun! We figure he left us treats and then escaped. This year he left us t-shirts, temporary tattoos, green necklaces and the ever important Gold Chocolate Coins. Then to our surprise he had turned the toilet water green & the milk! Silly little Leprechaun.

Here is our Easter celebration... our Easter bunny leaves a trail of eggs... pink for Olivia and purple for Emily from the girls beds to their basket. This year Olivia's basket was under the kitchen sink & Emily's was in the trash can under the computer desk... the hiding places are getting trickier because they are getting bigger. We then ate breakfast & went to church. Lastly we will do the Resurrection Eggs to "hit home" what Easter is about.
