Easter (Yes, I know I'm way behind).

This was a busy Easter for us. We had parents and grandparents out the wazoo visiting our house. My mother came in from Vegas, and my grandparents came down from the mountains. Needless to say, my little house was bursting at the seams. We celebrated with a cookout (I know, not very traditional--no ham!) and picture session on Saturday because my grandparents decided to take A. to Disney as an early 7th birthday present. BTW, trying to get a decent pic of 4 kids together is pretty much impossible. Here are a few of the best ones:



My hats off to those Picture People photographers--what a job! I have lots more (and better) pics of the kids on my Flickr page, if you're interested.

The boy and the grandparents left at the crack on Easter morning, before the rest of us reared our little heads. Good thing the Easter bunny made an appearance before the 5:00 AM hour.

Sunday was pretty low key, with one less child and two less grandparents in the house. We went to fellowship in the morning and spent the afternoon gorging on chocolate and planting a hedge at the front of our yard. The weather was just right for keeping the kids outdoors--that's right, making 'em play hard all day=sleep all night!

I spent Sunday evening packing for a trip. My mom won a cruise in a poker game and decided to take me with her. Yay! That's one of the reason's why its taken me so long to post here--I've been gone...no kids....no dishes...no laundry. Just a lazy week in the sun. Good times. Thanks Mom for being such a good gambler. In fact, she won $700 on the cruise in the casino, can you believe that! Of course, the kids, dishes and laundry were all waiting for me in full force when i finally made my way back to NC. I'll be posting pics of my trip once I get them put on the computer. Its been a really busy week back to work, so....

I hope you all had a fantastic Easter filled with family and treats.
