What a Week!!! Easter Weekend

Last week flew by! I once again missed Family Friday Update. I believe missing something that you started doing on a scheduled timeline 2 of the 3 times qualifies it for permanent rescheduling. With that in mind, you will just have to have Friday Family Updates whenever I happen to logon and write about them...and they probably will not occur on Fridays! It is pretty amazing that everything is on a schedule in my life...but not every schedule is followed. I think I really like schedules...or, maybe I like making them. :)

We started the holiday weekend off a little early by coloring Easter eggs on Wednesday. Ed was supposed to start his time off on Friday, but somehow we got a lucky break and he was off from Wednesday until today (Wednesday)-- A whole week!!!




Although I do not have pictures of it, Christian did enjoy coloring his Easter eggs. We had to be very careful about dropping them into the coloring "gently" though...he is not a gentle boy.


Such concentration from Nicholas here. He was very proud of his eggs.


Time with Daddy is always fun! Add a little painting or coloring of eggs and you have an instant hit with the boys!


We geared up for Christian's Birthday party which was held on Good Friday (also his birthday this year). Due to planning it on a major holiday weekend for some, we did not have much of a showing of guests. This was not a bad thing. The three kids had a great time. The little girl in this picture is our friend Evey. Evey's parents are Christian's Godparents. We have known them since college and they are about to be done with Medical School here in Lubbock.

We held an Easter egg hunt as part of the party games for the kids. I filled the eggs with LOTS of candy and hid them. Nicholas was great about letting the little kids get enough eggs. All three of them got lots of candy and had a blast hunting for the eggs.


This is a little out of order (I'm still learning on this Blogger thing). These pictures are of Nicholas's Parent's Day Out Preschool Easter Egg hunt. Since this is one of the few things that Ed can attend of Nicholas's many events this month and next, we decided to go and see the hunt. We were the only parents there as it was meant to be just a class thing...not a parental audience type of thing. I did one thing wrong. I FORGOT to mention to Nicholas that we were coming.

Oh My Gosh!!! He threw a tantrum when we showed up!!! At first he thought we were going to take him home when his Easter egg hunt was just about to start. I let Ms. Marcie take care of his hysteria. She calmed him down and after the Easter Egg hunt began, he started to become a nicer boy again. Whew!!! Future notice to all: Don't Spring any surprises on this boy. He doesn't like change at all!!!
That was our week/weekend. We are now halfway through this week and it is busy busy again. Ed's back at work as of today and works through the weekend. The boys and I have been going to workout in the morning and I have been tutoring like a mad woman to catch up from last week.

We will be attending some great events in the next few weeks. We have a field trip to a place called Kenny's Korral (a petting zoo type of place) and Kindergarten registration fast approaching.
