Easter!

The girls woke up on Easter morning and found their Easter baskets!  Emmy kept saying, "Go see Easter Bunny!" They hunted for eggs in the house and we had breakfast together.  We headed to Easter Mass.  The girls were able to take naps before we had Easter lunch at the Mamaw and Papaw's house.

Hunting for eggs!

All the eggs they found.

Keelin requested rice crispy treats and jello jigglers for Easter!

 I also made a big fruit salad...yum...yum!

 All ready for church.

 The girls just love these toy horses!

We had a very blessed Easter!  Plus, it was a 4 day weekend for me! 

Nut Club Egg Hunt

Saturday afternoon we took the girls to the Nut Club Easter Egg Hunt at Mater Dei High School.  This year the weather was so beautiful and the egg hunt was out in the field.  The girls' papaw is a member of the Nut Club.

 silly bunnies or Keelin and Emmy?

Keelin gave the Easter bunny a huge hug.

 Getting ready to go...

Mamaw helped Emmy.

Keelin found her good friend, Aubrey in the huge crowd of egg hunters!

Little Miss Ashlyn was excited about her eggs!

Holy Spirit Egg Hunt

On Holy Saturday we took the girls to Holy Spirit School to go on an Easter Egg Hunt!

silly girls!

The Easter Bunny and the girls!

The girls wore the dresses I made for them.

Easter Eggs

On Good Friday, the girls and I dyed eggs.

Almost done...just adding the glitter!

I have to note...I was able to keep the glitter very neat.

When we were all done, all the glitter was contained on a paper plate and ready to be thrown away.  That was until Keelin decided to blow as hard as she could over the paper plate...

You can only imagine the glitter cloud she produced... and the amount of glitter that had to be cleaned up.  Needless to say, glitter eggs will not be done again.

Dresses and Snack

I made the girls some simple Easter dresses this year!  I spent some time over spring break making them.  At first I thought I had bitten off more than I could chew...but with perseverance...I finished them. I am pretty happy with how they turned out.

 Keelin had snack at preschool on Holy Thursday.  We made a bunny cake for her snack!

Finished Trampoline

Our trampoline is finished!  Actually... it has been for a few weeks!

(I just can't seem to blog fast enough.)

Keelin and Emmy are loving the trampoline, but not nearly as much as ME!

I feel like a kid again! 

Mesker Park Zoo

It has been a zoo week!  I took Keelin to Mesker Park Zoo on Friday so I could update my scavenger hunt for my second graders when we go there on a field trip in a few weeks.  Good thing I did...4 animals in my old scavenger hunt are no longer at our zoo!

Keelin and I started our day by dropping Emmy off at daycare.  We then went to Panera for breakfast.  We had to pick up Drew's truck at Kenny Kent and drop off the beautiful 2011 bright red Corolla I had been driving for the last few days  :(  Then on to the zoo!

The lemurs were out!!  I never see them!

 Many of the animals were very active today!  We even saw a few feedings!

Keelin and I took out a paddle boat!  She always wants to do this but I always have to say no because Emmy in too little.  Since Emmy was not with us today we spent 30 minutes paddling around the lake.  This was my first time going out on the paddle boats.  It was perfect weather!

Keelin and I headed to Oaklyn Library and she got her own library card!
