Easter

Here we were after church. We got up on Sunday and the kids got a basket. It was filled with color coded candy. I had see the stuff at Wal-mart and thought why would you have everything be in color sections. Then my smart sister said if the Easter bunny did that then none of the kids could say that is mine. So the Easter bunny did just that. Bethannie's basket was all pink. Mackenzie's was all yellow and James was all blue. The kids loved it. Well I found these cute dresses a few weeks ago and thought they would be perfect for Easter when I knew I was never going to get the skirts I wanted to make for the girls done. So all the girls matched and I loved it.

The kids looking cute.

Easter eggs

So we decided it was time to color our Easter eggs on Saturday night. The kids were so excited about it. I am glad that as the kids do get older it makes things that used to drive me crazy to do way easier. I just could not stand the mess and how everything they touched would be dyed a new color. We did have a few small spills but no big deal. They made a lot of really bright eggs.
They turned out so well.

Busch gardens

So we bought season passes to Busch Gardens again this year. We had a lot of debate about it but I decided that we would still get enough use out of it with out James being here. It is a great way to just go spend a day and not feel trapped in the house. So we went for the first time this year last Friday. It was a lot of fun. We met up with 2 girls from church and all their kids. We had 3 adults and 11 kids. It sounds a lot more crazy then it was I think. The kids all get along great and the girls are great friends of mine. So it was a good day just spent chillin out. Here are some pics of the kids and well I had my camera with me all day but these were the only pics I took all day. I will try to do better next time.

Hey local ladies. Deborah and I are wanting a girls night out. We are planning this Friday night. Any one want to join us? We are wanting to go out to dinner some where down town but I am not sure where yet. I would think we would meet at the restaurant at about 7:00 or so. Any how let us know. Any suggestions of where to go too?

Just a minute....

Man I have not clue how people do it. I have been on the go for the entire last week. I did thank goodness get a day at home yesterday to just do nothing. well sort of. I have not had the time to even really tidy or well who am I kidding, clean my house. So I asked the kids to help me get the house clean. they did sort of help but it did get most of the way done. I need to finish my kitchen but not a big deal. I am just so tired form running every where do everything. I do not know how I will keep it all up but I will some how manage. I bring it all on myself. But man I have just not had time for anything. Well I just needed to vent a little frustration of how my life is. Gotta love not having your husband at home when life is always going.

So for the last week and a half Bethannie has had to be at school 30 minutes early so they could have drama practice. The 2ND grade was putting on a play " How does your garden grow". It was a really cute play and Bethannie had a ton of fun doing it.

Here Bethannie is with 2 of her friends from school that were also in the play.


Here is a picture of almost all the kids. It was so cute.

Bethannie was a lawn ornament. She was a cute one at that. The pic was not so great but it was the best I got of the girls.

Here is the last song the kids sang. Just thought I would share the joy.
