Easter 2010

Easter was a pretty low-key event at our house this year, low-key but lovely! I got up early to be sure we had time to play and hunt eggs before church. Too bad I didn't get the mass time right and we were 45 min. early! Oh well, we made it until after communion and the boys were - D-O-N-E, done! The bunny brought Carter a Razor scooter - he's so excited to have a scooter like his "big friends" Kylie, Conner & Carson and was very excited to pass his other scooter down to his brother but he was WAY more excited about Lincoln getting a fishing pole than his scooter. He found the pole, took it to Lincoln in bed and told him how cool it was that he got a fishing pole like his. I found out that Carter does not like jelly beans - note to self but the Goldfish in the eggs were a big hit (thanks to Grandma for the idea). Of course we had to spend some time with the scooters and the fishing pole on Easter afternoon.

We had a lovely brunch at a place we hadn't tried and loved it, Sophabella's on May - totally recommended - love that my hair chic knows all the best places in town!

Attack of the Lorikeets!

I was attacked by Lorikeets!!! I didn't really realize that I was freaked out by birds until about 5 of them landed on me at one time. We went to the Zoo yesterday and decided we'd go through the exhibit (thanks to those of you who recommended this experience - you know who you are). Anyway - basically you buy nectar for the birds to drink and I was the first one through the ropes and they all flocked to me. Carter quickly moved away, Linc freaked and Sean put down the other cup of nectar because HE didn't want them on him. Yikes! It was OK once I was used to it and the birds were off my head - the Zoo Chic said he was just grooming me but that was a bit too much for me!

Say Cheese!

Dear Blogger,

I have so many pictures to share - please work with me....

Spring = Truck Time

Spring means one major thing in our house, time to drive the truck. The boys love this truck a little too much sometimes (daddy has been very disturbed about the level of physical exercise it takes away!) This year we have 2 "licenced" drivers which also has lead to a little bit of pouting as you can see. I also had the pleasure of pushing the truck back from the pond, lucky me!

Huntin' Eggs

We hunted eggs on Sunday. Carter was BEYOND thrilled to get to hunt for candy but poor little Linc was a bit too cold to be excited, although I think he liked getting the eggs once he realized they had C-A-N-D-Y - his favorite and even gum. I hope our Easter Bunny brings some raisins and oranges to them!

Easter Prep!

An egg spinner seemed like the cleanest way to some dyed eggs - turned out pretty well & was mess free - thank you, Dudley's!

Welcome to Oklahoma - home of the bizarre, last week we went from the nicest day of the year - sunny & 70 to another snow storm in less than 12 hours! Crazy! Lincoln learned to ride his bike really well last week - just in time to be stuck in the house and want to bring it in (which we let him until he collided and hurt the wall a bit). Grandma and Grandpa were fortunate enough to experience some Oklahoma craziness with us last week. They would probably rather be here this week with a little more mild weather!
