Easter Bunny Patrol

Last night was a really busy night in our house.

We had a lot of guests dropping by.  Not only did

we have the Easter Bunny stop in and leave us gifts,

but we also had the Tooth Fairy come and leave

Haley some money.  The Easter Bunny and the Tooth

Fairy all in one night...who would have thought?

The girls got lots of fun things from the Easter Bunny.

They got coloring books, the movie Alvin and the

Chipmunks the Squeakqual, and their favorite, a

Zhu Zhu pet.  The girls have been wanting one of those

cute little moving hamsters since Christmas.  They finally

got one and they absolutely adored the thing.  Kept them

busy all day long.  The funny thing was that they couldn't

just play with it, they had to be one.  We have this tent

contraption and they made me set it up in the livingroom

since it was raining outside.  It didn't all fit in there, but I

did my best to create a little hamster maze for my little

hamster kids.  They had a great time with those little guys.

From Grandma Dixie they got dresses and they loved them.

Thanks to everyone for the Easter gifts and love.

So, about two years ago Grandma Leslie sent the girls

these little Easter Bunny costumes.  I pulled the Easter

stuff out this year and the first thing they got into were the

costumes.  They have been wearing them everyday for a

week.  Seriously, how much longer can they wear them

and still fit.  The arms and legs are about halfway up their

appendages.  They are still adorable in them though.

For breakfast we had mini stacks of banana pancakes. YUM!

I am glad that when I asked the the girls why we celebrate

Easter, they knew the right answer.  So smart!

I hope everyone's hearts were filled with love for our

Savior Jesus Christ on this beautiful Easter Sunday.

Egg Party

On Friday we went over to a friend's house and decided

to have a little egg coloring/cookie decorating party together.

Poor Gabby has never celebrated Easter with eggs and such

before.  The girls had a really good time and even enjoyed

a cookie or two.  Coloring eggs rocks!

April FOOL'S Day

During playgroup on April Fool's Day I got

everyone good.  I was trying to think of something

to play on everyone and I just couldn't come up

with an April fool's joke.  I couldn't tell

everyone that I was pregnant because they would

know I was lying.  So...while my friend who actually

does want another baby was off to the side talking

to someone I told the whole group that she had

good news, she was pregnant.  They all oohed

and ahhed and turned around to say congratulations

to her.  However, when they did she just looked at

them with a puzzled look on her face and had no

idea what they were saying congratulations about.

Then I busted out with the old "APRIL FOOLS"

and everyone was like, "I really believed you too."

Way to think on the fly Cortney!

Too bad I couldn't come up with a good joke to

play on my husband.  :(

Playgroup egg hunt

Seriously...is that girl's hair really like that all the time?

Actually, it was just the wind.  We have had crazy wind

here lately and I am actually getting tired of it.  I do like

Naylia's hair though...HOT!

We tried to gather the kids at a table and teach them the

chicken dance and that idea sunk so we had to think fast.

I decided to try and play the "Who ate the cookie" game

with them and they just stared at me like I was a crazy chick.

What is wrong with kids these days.  I did succeed in getting

them to stay at the table while the eggs were being thrown

around in the grass.  Good job me and good job moms that

really tossed those eggs!

Keeley says, "You are lame Mom!"

"Go get 'um kids!"

"Lunch time!"  Kayla loves those egg sandwiches.
