The Easter Bunnys Coming to Town!




We went to see the Easter Bunny on Tuesday and it was our most successful try yet. Kaden was actually in the photo this year; he wasn't over the top excited about being in a giant bunny's lap, but he dealt with it. I will scan the photo later but here are some shots of our mall trip.

Dear Prudence



Our chicken Prudence laid her first egg for us today! I went outside and checked before church and low and behold Prudence had left us a present. It was very exciting, the boys were so proud. Kaden wanted to carry the egg everywhere. I made Britt snap a few photos of the boys and I and our Dear Prudence and her first egg!

Easter Party



Trace had his class Easter party and egg hunt at school. He and Grace were, as always, the cute couple. Kaden was so excited about the eggs having candy inside, all day he kept asking me if it was time to go and he clutched onto his Easter basket for dear life. We also went to another hunt this weekend and Kaden almost passed out when he saw the plenty of eggs everywhere. He and Trace collected over 50 eggs together at that one. They both decided to put their loot together and share, we have enough candy to supply Willy Wonka's factory for a year.

Kids-N-Praise



Trace had a performance today, the first one of the Spring. He did a great job and did NOT erase the video this time. Poor Kaden has been very sick all weekend so he had to stay at home today. I didn't get a very good seat because we got there a bit late and left right after to get home to Kaden, so I sat in the back. Here is the video, Trace is on the right of the group, blue shirt, 2nd row!

Sham-rockin


For St.Patrick's Day we had a dinner of corned beef and cabbage (with green beer for Britt). Trace picked out a special outfit to wear at school. Kadne wore green as well but had more fun with the cooking than wearing the attire. Alas, there were no good movies on for the holidays. All I could find on were the horror movies about a Leprecan. I would say I didn't watch them but that would be a lie, after the kids went to bed I curled up and watched the first one. I have a sweet spot for Child's Play and Leprecan movies, they are cheesy but my Mom would order pizza and rent them, so maybe it is the memories not the movies I love.

My Little Picasso





Today the boys created pasta art. We made red, blue, green, and yellow pasta and used it to create a masterpiece worth hanging up in the kitchen. Kaden enjoyed eating the green, while Trace was partial to the red. Picasso himself could not have done a better job! Bon Appétit!

Saturday Morning Suprise




Like I said before the boys LOVE the Denny's Nannerpus commercial, so Sat morning I made them a special treat. You would have thought it was Christmas they were so excited. I even attached fishing wire to tentacles to make them move. JKaden's looked a little crazy in the eyes and beat up but it still did the trick. Here are some photos and if you haven't you tubed the commercial yet do it, otherwise I look crazy :)
