Snack

Can't decide what to have for snack? Just mix it together to make your own 'Trail Mix' ... at least that is what we do around here. Just don't forget the chocolate!

(Popcorn, goldfish, dried blueberries, cranberries and cherries & of course M&M's)

Happy Easter

We did, it was a long day out and about but over all enjoyable. We started out at home getting ready for the day and checking out the Easter basket that appeared over night. That sneaky bunny did not leave any candy and the kids did not even notice!

After church we headed of to D's side of the family for brunch, YUM!

The kids had a blast running off some energy and searching for eggs. And there were plenty of candy filled eggs for them to find.

Next we were off to my side of the family for another egg hunt and some dinner. They ran around playing outside some more and even mad muddy messes of their clothes. But they had fun so that is what matters! 

This is all of the candy the kids got, YIKES!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter! This is my third attempt to write this post and I only have a few minutes.So I will post this family picture and update more later. I have lots and lots of pictures!

Easter Cookies

 **WARNING** Lots of pictures in this post!

Yesterday L, M and myself went over to my parents house to make Easter cookies and dye eggs with Gram and Shannon. We started off with the eggs while we waited for Shannon to join us for the cookies. 

first I have to share pictures of the 2 cute helpers we had

I had to get a picture of all of the supplies before we started

Yes, I am aware that Lucas is MIA for the second half of this post. After coloring eggs, eating lunch and cutting out the cookies he decided that he was done and would leave the rest up to us girls while he played a game on Gram's computer.

 the mess we made....

 

was worth it in the end because not only do these cookies taste yummy they are super adorable!

 

It was decided that there were our favorite cookies of the day
 

Shannon made the chick and I made the bunny and they also happened to coordinate with each other!

Picnic at the park

Taking advantage of the beautiful weather and needed a reason to play with my new camera some more so the kids and I headed to the park for a picnic, a walk through to see the animals and of course to run around the playground.

 Checking out the sheep 

  Showing off his climbing skills 

of course little monkey M had to climb too

Waffles and PB...

For breakfast the other day we had waffles and I decided a bit of peanut butter might taste good on top, Jif chocolate silk peanut butter to be exact. Oh boy was it good! 

Just ask Molly she sure enjoyed them!
