Easter weekend was beautiful!!! On Saturday we rode our bikes to a local park where a church had an egg hunt. My favorite hunt because they conclude with the resurrection story told with the Resurrection Eggs.

I taught Children's Church on Easter and the kids did a short Easter Presentation. Afterwards we came home and had a snacky lunch. I have decided it is too much work to cook the all out Easter dinner. Especially given my boys do not yet appreciate it! Maybe one of these days they will eat ham, creamy potatoes and green bean casserole. (Anytime we have the 'traditional' meal, they eat rolls and dessert.)
A friend from church was having a neighborhood egg hunt, so went over there. It was the most organized thing I have ever seen. Kids had very specific colored eggs they were looking for. All the eggs were stuffed accordingly based on ages. Each kid found 10 eggs. Poor JB got so confused. He would find an egg and put it in his basket. I would tell him it is the wrong color and then I would take it out of his basket. Then he would find the right color, I would put it in his basket and then he would take it out.

I spent the better part of Easter evening cleaning the playroom carpet. JR painted some pictures on the climbing wall for our Super Hero loving boys.

Somebody did not put the paint away. Little hands got into the washable green paint! There was a spot about 2 feet x 2 feet on our carpet - it was saturated. It took me about 1.5 hours with our small steam spot cleaner to get it up. The verdict is still out. There is still a slight green tint, but sure blends better now than it did before all of my elbow grease.

We picked up the two boys today that will be staying with us for the week. Looking forward to having them.
