Post-Easter Fun

Did you have an awesome Easter weekend? Ours was exhausting! So exhausting that I don't even remember a lot of what we did. Lol! I know there was some cleaning...and we did watch the 2nd Hobbit movie...and then there was some candy...I'm drawing a blank on the rest though. 

I can tell you that I still have not learned to go to bed on time before any kind of holiday. And I'm still wondering if I'm ever going to remember that. Brian and I were up until almost 2 on Saturday night so, of course, the kids woke us up at 6. I'm happy to say that we managed to convince them to let us stay upstairs until almost 8 but that extra 2 hours did not really help. And did I go to bed at a decent time Sunday night to make up for it? Hahahaha! No. I didn't. If I could kick my own booty, I would. Sleep deprivation is most definitely not my friend. 

But!! It was an awesome weekend! That's what matters right? Soooo, pictures!!

On Friday, I found some fabulous rhubarb at a local store and decided to make a rhubarb and apple crisp for the kids. I don't know if the kids were more excited for the dessert, or the fact that I pulled out our apple peeler/slicer/corer thing to save time. And this is Kierstin playing with her "apple accordion".

And let me tell you, my kids are *crazy* for rhubarb! They are so excited it's rhubarb season and can't wait to get some more!

Makenzie showed us that you're never too old to play dress up. 

She is Batgirl!! Lol (Thankfully Hayden didn't mind sharing his Batman mask and cape)

She also proved that it is possible to wear almost all of your dress up clothes at once. She ran around like this almost the entire weekend. Kudos to her and her amazing fashion sense!

We bought *way* too much candy for them! That was what was left after 45 minutes of filling eggs. 

I've never been so happy that PT tests are over for Brian and his coworkers. That meant sending a TON of candy to his office. 

They were super excited! (And Kierstin just totally photobombed Makenzie!)

Yes, I've become the mom that gets them pre-filled baskets. I'm ok with that. It keeps me from having to stress over what to put in them and making sure everything is equal. (I just wish the baskets were bigger!)

My little man playing Just Dance...with yellow goggles on his head. (I don't ask questions)

We even got a visit from the Easter Kitty! :)

He's really just a neighborhood cat that runs around everywhere 

and keeps the field mice out of our yard. I'm quite thankful for him!

(Sorry it's kinda blurry looking. I had to take it through the kitchen window so I didn't scare him off)

And that, folks, is our weekend in pictures. Sorry there aren't any of the kids finding eggs, but I gave that up. They move too fast for my camera & the pictures just come out blurry. 

I do hope you had an awesome weekend! But I'm off to be productive now. Laundry waits for no one. Plus, I bought a new steam mop that I can't wait to use! (Don't judge me!)

Much love! <3
