They're all a bit blurry

The pictures, that is. Sorry. Super busy week this past one. Folks over for meals/coffee times. The usual chores. Then we went to VT on Friday to surprise my mom with an early birthday meal. Quick turn around to be home Saturday afternoon for lots of Sunday morning prep, and then today was our Easter breakfast at church, followed by service and egg hunt. Then on to a feast at the Allens where we broke diet like no one's business and ate pretty much nothing but dairy and sugar. Glorious. :)

We made a new friend on a walk to the park. Hudson has really warmed up to cats, and Hen was head booping with this little guy (who was super friendly)

Hard training finally paying off! I drank coffee, they cleaned the house.

About once a month we do a movie night. This week was Cars and Cinderella (first princess movie, eeks). Hudson nearly stopped breathing he was so excited that his shirt matched the movie, lol. I still think it's the boringest movie ever. 

Haircuts with dumdums for a treat 

Took the kids on a date before we went to the library. Can't go wrong with donut holes!

Our neighbor cut down our big tree so the branches wouldn't fall on his garage roof. Time to put up a privacy fence!

The snow is gone now

Pirates picnicking

Aunt Abi gave us the idea of an Easter pinata, so the kids made an "egg" one. Huge mess. 

Easter outfits. The theme was blue and green, and ironically everyone I know went with those colors too. Normally we stick with the pastels, but it felt too early in the year to do that this time. 

The lovely (and delicious!) cake that Anna made Mom. Of course I didn't take a single picture there, but we had a great time. And Mom was surprised to see everyone which was fun. 

Stopped briefly at Texas Falls on the way home. This summer we'll walk the loop with the kids but we needed to push on and get home. 

First layer of pink paint

Mess. Just a huge mess.

My babies. Hudson loved his look, he kept checking himself out in the mirror and was very very sad when he had to change out of his bow tie and suspenders

Not my usual pattern, but a really comfy dress!

The hunt is on!

The teens do a great job of hiding the eggs and then helping the littlest kids "find" them all.

After our meal, and before dessert, we go for a walk. This time we went to a nature conserve a few blocks away.....and despite it being all of one city block large, we still got lost in it and had to check the map and online for directions. City slickers to the extreme. 

The boys had fun chucking gravel

Brave Uncle Sheffy held the disaster pinata and mercifully helped things along by punching it open. Next year we'll only do one layer of paper...

Steve got in his cardio by watching the second half of the Syracuse game tonight :)

We're keeping our entertaining low key this week by planning to order out for all events, and I'm looking forward to a normal week :)
