HAPPY Easter!!

Big Pony Tail

Gracyn only lets me do her hair one way--in a little pony tail on top. We have tried to talk her into pig tails, braids or a big pony tail. Drew is always begging her to let him make a big pony tail and we always get a big, fat "NO!"
Well, the other night, she was getting in trouble for not eating her dinner and she turned to Drew and said, "Daddy, can you make me a big pony tail in my hair?" He jumped up to get a rubber band and brush to do her hair. I, on the other hand, was on to her little game. She's one smart cookie--AND, has her Daddy wrapped around her little finger.

She did look mighty, darn cute though--I must admit!

I'm not so sure she was that excited about the pony tail, but the fact that she was getting out of eating her dinner?? :) By the way....she hasn't let me do it again since.

Church Egg Hunt Round 2

Hudson headed to the door with his basket in hand when it was time to go-- he was ready to get him some eggs!

I made their Easter baskets with my new Silhouette machine. I bought the solid ones first...
..and then I saw the polka dot ones and I just loved them. So, they have 2 baskets. :)
They headed to the bounce house as soon as we got there.

I had to hold this little guy back--he was ready to get to it!

I didn't have to show Hudson what to do--he was a pro!

Gracyn patiently waited for her group to go. She spotted a grouping of a bunch of eggs and headed right for them--not even stopping for any others along the way.

She's quite the pro egg hunter as well! Just look at all those eggs!

Checking out our loot. It's a good thing they got so many eggs--half of Hudson's were filled with bubble gum and over half of Gracyn's were filled with gum or candy that had peanuts or peanut butter that she couldn't eat. It was so sad to watch her open up one of those. :(

Hudson found the "Golden Egg" and got a bag full of prizes. This sucker, by far, was his most favorite thing. His sister may have been just a tad bit jealous!

What a super FUN day!!

Church Egg Hunt Round 1

Our church had its annual Easter Egg Hunt. We came home after church to hang out before it actually started. Mimi, Pop and Nana and Amber and her crew came over for brunch. The kids had a blast together--as always.

Nana became the designated "pusher."

Enjoying their view!The best I could get of these two!

Gracyn got the cascarones off the counter--WITHOUT PERMISSION--and she and Ava had a grand time until I caught them and put an end to it. Daddy was a little put out with having to clean up the huge mess of confetti all over the porch! My plan was to take them to the park to do them to avoid a mess in our yard.

Hudson and Towns have really become pals.

I guess it's more fun to play with your pants off--or Hudson is starting a new trend!

Trouble-makers!

Library Visit

I took the kids to the library for the first time last week. Gracyn was so excited to get her very own library card! She couldn't wait to see all the books! Hudson was ALL over the place though!! He kept pulling books from the shelf that were written in Spanish. I tried to show him where to get books that I could read to him--but he was NOT wanting to listen to anything I had to say! I think Gracyn and I could spend a lot of time there--but for now, with Hudson in tow, we're in and out on a mission to just get us some new books.

BIG News!

Look who went poo-poo in the potty??!!

Hudson has gone twice in the past two days in the big potty now--and Drew and I are both shocked! He can't stand to have a dirty diaper. Once he goes, he immediately comes and says, "Di, di, di"--while pulling at his diaper. He wants that thing off! He came to us and said this before anything actually happened, so we put him on the potty and he went!! I'm just going to wait and see how things play out and see if he is ready for the full potty training business. But, for now, we are pretty excited over here!

Take My Picture

She asks me to take a picture of her a lot these days.

I happily oblige! :)
