Easter and Spring Break

For Easter, the Grandparents came.  Then, as a special treat, they watched the kids for 3 days while Lar and I took our first child-free trip (longer than 3 hours) since Abigail was 2.5.  They missed us and cried when we called, so we stopped calling and enjoyed our vacation!

Cherry blossoms came VERY EARLY this year.
Then they were killed in a frost and it has been freezing cold very since.

Little man is SO excited to find plastic eggs

Egg-dyeing fun, which actually happened about
2 weeks after Easter.  Better late than never, right?

Very excited about Easter baskets

Spring Break, Part 1

We spent Easter weekend at The Farm (my parents' place in PA).
The kids had a blast.  Joseph enjoyed his first Easter.  We allowed the kids to eat the snacks from their Easter baskets for breakfast that morning and they were pretty crazy, but also very happy.

Abigail did farm chores like fixing a bird house.

They colored eggs

Jos doesn't have an Easter basket yet
but he loved his Easter Wagon

After the eggs had been found, they posed for a picture
before eating more snacks

And then it dried up enough that we spent all of Sunday
afternoon outside

Playing in the stream with her Yinski...

and then she fell in....
