Sigh

We had a great Easter weekend. On Saturday the whole Hazzard clan came down to celebrate and we got to show them our house! We had a great meal, wonderful time to sit and visit and a backyard full of crazy kids! It was really nice that Blake and Owen are old enough to play with their big cousins and even nicer that their big cousins like them and want to play with them. They had so much fun.






We had a massive Easter egg hunt that every one enjoyed since they all ended up with their baskets FULL of eggs. You know you are spoiled when an 11 year old, 2 8 year olds, a 6 year old and 5 year old find eggs and put them in your basket for you.

I did get a really cute group shot, but it isn't downloaded yet.
Because we had such a fun Saturday, Sunday was a little harder. The boys woke up ok, but turned cranky very quickly. We tried to get Easter pictures before church and then is what we got on the first picture:




Then we got this one:



It was better. And that is the front of our house...cute, right?

We went to church and came home for some leftovers and literally couldn't lay them down fast enough...THEY NEEDED A NAP! But of course I tried to get a few more pictures




They woke up in better moods and we had a great few hours outside playing. See how much happier they were?





Then Owen fell off of the swing set. Seriously. He's okay. Nate and I were sitting down by them and he decided he wanted to be Captain Hook and take Nate's treasure. So he started laughing and going up the stairs got to the top of the slide, sat down, announced he was "going to get that treasure" and then lost balance and flipped off of the slide. He fell at least six feet and landed on his stomach. What a terrible thing to witness. Luckily, he was okay, cried for about 2 minutes and then just wanted Nate to hold him.



Then we started to get dinner ready and went inside and found out that our water had backed up again - that would be the 3rd time in 3 weeks. So the rest of the evening was not lovely...but we made it. Thankfully the plumber that came today thinks the whole city was backed up and that was our problem...sigh...



So that was our Easter weekend! Hope yours was great!
