Easter Baskets

OK here are pictures with the baskets- most of the kids are still in their undies- gotta love those pictures!

Thanks to all of you who pointed out that I still had a skeleton hanging from my tree. I won't even tell you how many Halloween's ago it is from. :) Still have the Christmas tree up too- just kidding.

I bet you are wondering why I do not have a picture of Dylan with his basket.... it is not because we are abusing him- but because he is a brat and decided to open and eat all of his stuff by himself before I got a picture. Good thing I took one the night before so I at least have proof that we gave him one. :)


Trey with his stash


Dyaln's basket without Dylan....

Bryce with his- nice undies!

Toby- doesn't he look happy to be posing with his basket?

Taya woke up at 5 to open her's and have a tea party!

OK, my name is Kate and I am a loser....

In case my criminal post of yesterday was not enough- I must confess to everyone what a loser I am. We had the Easter Egg hunt today! We just could not get everyone together yesterday until about 10 p.m. and I could not find any flashlights- so we did the hunt today after school, on Jen's day off, when everyone was home. I think it is funny that Bryce, who will be 16 in a few days- wanted to hunt for eggs!

I think everyone had fun though. I still need to post Easter baskets- this holiday could go on for a week on my blog!


Toby finding an egg


My almost 16 year old still finding enjoyment in egg hunting!

Bryce grabbed the egg that Dylan was after!

Trey- I swear he lives in his baseball uniform these days!

Tay Tay- it took her awhile to "get it"

I am going to jail!

I took Taya and Bryce to see the Easter Bunny at the mall. Bryce would not sit on his lap- he is a poor sport.

Taya was so excited, jumping up and down- until it was her turn- then she turned to me and said "hold you"- that means she wants me to hold her- isn't that cute? So after some coaching- I got her to sit next to the bunny and smile.

I bought the package- asked if they would sell me the .jpeg- but they would not- so they forced me to go to Walmart and scan the picture so I could have a digital copy. I do have a great scanner that Jen has never hooked up-so I have to go out in public and commit crimes of copy write fraud.

I wonder if I will get ham in jail for Easter? The inportant thing is that I now have a picture to show you on my blog. I did this for YOU! :)

Dying Eggs

I was organized this year and dyed eggs before midnight on Saturday like I usually do. It was funny- the only one excited was Taya- then half way through Dylan joined in- and when we were done Bryce was all torqued off because he said we did not invite him to join. OK in a family our size if you wait for an engraved invitation you are going to lose out! Plus he is almost 16- I guess I thought his egg dying days were finished!

I am not a fan of dying eggs because of the mess it makes.

Just wondering how old is too old to get a basket? I still make one for Jen every year- along with the kids.

Jen has to work- so we have no big plans.
