Happy Easter!!

We had a great Easter weekend! Saturday we went to my parents house for swimming and lunch. It was a bit chilly, but Nana and Pop heated their pool and had the outdoor heaters on, so we only had minor complaining from the cheap seats. I didn't get any pictures because I was helping Nana with lunch, but the kids all had a blast.

Sunday we woke up early and the kids got to open their baskets from the Easter bunny. This year the Easter bunny decided to limit the candy and cheap toys and get the kids more usable stuff. So, the kids all got new sunglasses, goggles, bubbles, and a few other "age appropriate" items. Devin and Caleb got DS games and Bekah got nailpolish and lotion. Who knew the little girl would be more excited about lotion than anything else! (Thanks Amy Ellis for that idea!!)



Then since it was sprinkling, the Easter bunny hid eggs in the living room at our house. The kids were moving so quickly that I had a hard time getting any good pictures, but I'm sure everyone knows what it looks like when kids run around crazy looking for eggs!




After playing outside for awhile.... (Yes, Devin has on a pink shirt. It was mine from when I was little, and apparently it's now "cool" for boys to wear pink...who knew?)

Bekah and Caleb got sidewalk paint, and they were thrilled to get to paint on the ground...you know, because it's so much more fun than painting on paper?!


We went to Grandma and Grandpa's house for the Molander Easter. LOTS of people, and it's always a great time. The rain stayed away so the kids got to do their egg hunt outside.








Oh yeah, and Grandma got a new pet...a bunny! Bekah and Caleb were just fascinated and Bekah's asthma didn't seem to be bothered at all by the bunny's fur. They REALLY wanted to take the bunny home (or go buy our own), but Momma said no. We're about to have 4 kids and 2 dogs...all we need is a bunny to make me go insane!





Devin and Grant got fishing supplies from the Easter bunny, so they took off very quickly to go fishing and we didn't see them again for about an hour. This is Devin being annoyed when Dad was trying to explain that it was a different kind of reel on Grandma's fishing pole and he need to explain to him how to use it. In case you don't have one yet, this is a 10 year old's face saying "Dad, I already know how to do it...I don't need help!" However, he fought with the reel for the entire fishing episode, and later complained that it was too hard. If only those silly boys would learn to accept help!!


The kids also got more bubbles from the Easter bunny at Grandma's house, so that became kind of the theme of the day.



And the funniest portion of the day...while Aunt Jenny (Brody's mom) was holding the bunny, he left her a little present pile in her lap! The kids thought that was just hilarious, so I had to take a picture.

Hope everyone else had a great Easter as well!!

Hooray for fun Easter weekends with kids!! Lots of great pics...I especially like the one of the back of Bekah and Daddy (I assume it's him) walking and holding hands. Too cute!
