Easter

I hope everyone had a great Easter - what a beautiful day it was. We started our morning with mass and it amazes me how church is only packed like that on holiday - where is everyone at the rest of the time, we couldn't even move it was so crowded. We normally go to 11:30 mass to allow Logan to fall asleep in church, but since we went to 8 he was wide awake and trying to keep a two year old still during mass - it is a task.

After church Steve made breakfast for my mom, his mom and Sean and Lisa and their kids. I wanted something simple like a casserole and he wouldn't have that, so we had eggs, goetta, bacon, sausage, hash browns - the whole works. Needless to say after we ate it was nap time. The kids were hunting for their baskets and eggs while breakfast was being made and let me tell you, Brayden is the worst finder ever. You can give him the perfect clue or hint and he just doesn't get it :)... Logan find one egg with jelly beans in it and he was done - that is all he needed.

We then preceded to mom's house where everyone was - it was such a beautiful day - the weather was perfect - and there was another hunt to be had. Casey and his girlfriend hid the eggs this year - it was a bit tougher than normal and some kids weren't happy that they had to work to find their eggs. We had made it simple years ago to color code our eggs and each child has a certain color they have to find, if not it is a free for all and lots of arguing and fighting about who has more. So this makes it easier.

We didn't stay for dinner because we had to head over to Steve's mom's for yet another egg hunt and more food - it was an exhausting day - but it was worth it. Brayden had to go to school this week, he is off next week, so I know he is worn out -

Yesterday Steve and I did cafeteria duty - how fun is that~ we had so much fun, it was amazing to see all of the little guys eat the eggs and sausage when my son will not even try them. And the older kids, at least the older girls didn't want anything to do with that lunch - and Brayden even allowed me to come out and say Hi to him - all the ladies in the cafeteria said enjoy it now because soon he will not even want you talking to him ~ they grow up so fast.............

Today is Logan's first experience of going to the zoo - he is going with Jen and Amy because they are both off today - hopefully he behaves and keeps the two year old tantrums to a minimum :)

Miss and love you dad~

Much love to all,
