Happy Easter

Good Morning! Oh, what a wonderful morning it was. It was SO GREAT to have Jared home with us for a Sunday morning. No early church meetings, means slow fun, family mornings. Anyways, we slept in. Let Jared pick breakfast and we had the kids hide so I could finish a little thing I read to do for Easter baskets. I tied a yarn all around the house, up and down, all around, doors, furniture, etc. Then they had to start at the beginning then gather all the yarn up till it lead them to their baskets. I have never done it before until I read about it on 71toes.com. I loved the idea and so did the kids. Next year I will do what she suggested and have a different colored yarn for each kid, starting from their individual beds. I just wanted to try it with one mess the first time around...until next year!

 

This is Jake's new desired smile...I tell him it's a mean grouchy face and he says, "I am smiling!"

Here is our attempt to an Easter picture...let's just say Ben wouldn't smile...he really isn't as grumpy as his this picture looks. I was totally frustrated though, because I took a few darling pictures until I looked at them in my camera and realized the flash made them all WHITE...so I piled the kids back together and they were so not cooperating...oh, well. It's hard to get four kids to do what I want! Not to mention me, learning how to use my camera!

Here is Mr. Chubby himself...I think today was the first day he wore real clothes...yup, I changed him out of pajama's for the holiday...The 3-6 month clothes were literally bursting at the seams. When I tried to squeeze the pants on him, I felt like me trying to squeeze into my once smaller size pants...which I'm wishing I could fit into! Little buddy, it's just more comfortable to wear pajama's for us all! Alayna even noticed he was wearing clothes because she said, "Oh, mom, Benny looks so cute...he's like wearing real people clothes, cute pants, a shirt and even socks! He's so cute!" I literally laughed...he's 5 months old and finally wearing clothes! But...Monday he was back in pajama's again! Sorry dude.
