 Easter morning the kids participated in a photo scavenger hunt in order to find their Easter baskets. The clues led the to the basketball hoop, behind the shower curtain, inside a kitchen drawer, Reese's dollhouse, under Mom and Dad's pillows, the swing set, and finally in the family room behind the couch.
 They had lots of fun figuring out where the next clue was.

 Boston loved his new crocs. He wore them around all morning.
 Imagine that - the Easter Bunny left some Lalaloopsies for Reese (a little sister doll, a mini doll, Lala puzzle, Lala sunglasses, and some candy). Boston got the new Muppet movie (which they watched twice today) bubbles, Spiderman sunglasses, stamps, and some candy.
All dressed up for church. I practically had to hog tie Boston in order to get his tie on. For some reason he was very against it. Obviously he figured out it wasn't so bad after all. I wanted to get some cute pics outside with them all dressed up but at this point we were already 10 minutes late, so maybe next week.

We had a lovely Easter. After Easter baskets we had a yummy french toast breakfast, went to church, came home and stuffed ourselves full of goodies.

Downey Easter

 These are all completely out of order, but I'm way to lazy to fix that so whatever. Saturday we went down to Downey for their city Easter Egg hunt. These first few pictures are of the little egg hunt we had a grandma and grandpa's house after we ate lunch. They had a few treats and gifts for the kids.
 Boston found some candy, money, bubbles, and a Yo Gabba Gabba Book. And for our Lalaloopsy enthusiast a sticker book, candy, bubbles, and about $4 in change (enough to buy another Lalaloopsy mini).

 Boston dumped out his goodies from the city egg hunt on the ground so he could gather some more things at Grandmas.
 They're Off! The ended up finding the really good stuff inside the chicken coop.
 While at the city egg hunt they got to pet a real chicken and bunny.
 We kept telling Boston when it was his turn he needed to run really fast. Well he did just that... so much that he ran all the way to the net without picking up a single thing. Didn't quite get it for a minute, and when he finally did he would only pick up the loose candy on the ground and not the eggs. Since there was so much for all the kids he ended up with a bucket full of goodies.

 Scoping out the goods before it started.
 After Boston had his turn we went over to watch Reese's age group. Boston helped himself to a few eggs.

April First

 Sorry these pictures aren't the greatest (I took them with my phone). So here are some pics of my April Fool's jokes. Naturally I found them on Pinterest. Above: Litter Box (brownies, with graham cracker crumbs). Below: Mashed Potatos, Peas, and Carrots (cupcakes - starburst, runts, and caramel sauce).

 Last Sunday we went down to my grandma's for dinner and for our family Easter Egg hunt. The kids had a lot of fun looking for all the goodies. There were a ton of things out there for them besides candy. Dress up jewelry, monster trucks, punch balls, bubbles, and lots of other fun things.
 Scrambling for the goods.
 Reese and her loot.
Obviously this is out of order. The cousins making a mad dash to find some goodies.
