where did it go?

I can't believe April is almost over! And I haven't had time to post about anything! We have been so extremely busy that I feel like I barely have time to check out the deals each week for couponing, let alone anything else on the computer. Plus Kennedy's 2nd birthday party is on Saturday, so I am getting everything ready for that. Here are some quick shots of some of the things that have kept us so busy...

We spent one evening planting our seeds. Reagan loved picking out the seeds at the store. She loves to garden.

A little bit giddy with their seeds.

We started making a pinata for easter. A new tradition which the girls loved. Too bad I don't have pictures of them breaking it with Austin and Kalli, I was videotaping it.

It was a little bit of a messy project...

After we did a few layers, we painted it to look like an easter egg.

The finished project. Then we filled it with Candy.

Easter with Mommy and Daddy. We did baskets saturday morning.

Getting ready for the Easter egg hunt at Molly and Bob's house, with my family and the Mitchells/Cebelaks. Tons of fun, even though it was a little bit wet. The kids didn't seem to mind.

At the end of the hunt the sun decided to come out. Here are Austin and Kennedy.

Aunt Shirley was a great helper. Reagan had fun with her!

The girls loved helping me get the garden ready. Now they want to help me water all the plants everyday.

We spent lots of time playing with Grandma and Grandpa.

Enjoying the 80 degree weather with our new swimsuits. Sprinkler, hose, buckets, umbrellas, happy girls...

Our best friends from church in Williamston came to visit. The Wakefields live in Washington now, so we were so excited that we got to spend time with them.

Laura and Rick's birthdays were the 15th and 16th, so we had presents to make and buy. Laura is cracking up at Rick's hilarious card.

We dug the grass out from under the play structure so the girls could have a sandbox now that our garden is planted.

Dennis asked me to help him throw a surprise party for Laura. We did a 50s drive-in/soda shoppe theme. These are the mugs I made as souveniers for all the guests to take home after we had Root Beer floats.

"Laura's Soda Shoppe"

Reagan and Kennedy liked participating in 50s charades.

I spent two days making these skirts for Becky and I. (Think drive-in waitresses, minus the rollerskates).

Whew. That was exhausting just loading the pictures. Then add to those planting a tree in our backyard, going the library 2+ times a week (Reagan is obsessed), going to the ice cream shoppe, aerating our lawn, visiting with Uncle Jack, celebrating Rick's birthday with my family, and planning a bridal shower for Mel. Double whew. I'll hopefully be back next week with pictures from Kennedy's birthday. Fingers crossed. Hope you have been enjoying Spring as much as us!
