Easter

We started out our Saturday morning by checking out the Payson City Easter Egg Hunt!! Forgot my camera..wish I could have videotaped it. It was like a huge human vacuum that just sucked up the eggs from the grass. It was literally over in 40 seconds.

We went to Walmart to pick up a few things - they were also having an Easter Egg hunt - but it was in their garden center. So many people and so many obstacles spelled DISASTER for me - so we left and went to Olson's Garden to get my Mother Day Baskets (I know it's early but Jeff has Guards next weekend and they will be picked over if we wait until the Saturday before Mother's Day).

Anyway, they were having an Easter Egg Hunt there so we stayed and my kids got to do that one. Then Jeff went to one of his co-worker's houses to get something and they were having an Easter Egg Hunt so my kids went to another one.

And then my neighbor invited us to her Easter Egg hunt (which was honestly the best). Despite the rain, the kids still had fun finding their eggs. FOUR Easter Egg hunts in one day!!! Whew!


Then we decorated eggs..
We tried out tie-dye easter eggs this year...cute, but messy.

Calista was pretty tired....
My front room is like a greenhouse right now...can't wait until it's warm enough to get my baskets outside.

Picture of their Easter stuff...Hailey likes to write a note to the Easter Bunny every year. That is the white square in the middle couch cushion. She asks questions like, "What is your name?" "What is your wife's name?" "Where do you live?" "How many kids do you have?" "Do you wear clothes?" etc, etc.
Unfortunately, FedEx didn't deliver my package that included the girl's Easter dresses - I was hopeful all day - however I finally accepted reality at 5:30pm and headed to the store at 7pm to get material to make them up some skirts. I started at 10:30pm and finished at 2:30am - had to do some "work" and ended up in bed at 3:30am. The kids had set their alarm for 6:30am...man it's gonna be a LONG day!!
Picture of all the kids after church...
Jeff was pretty tired and the kids had a hard time getting him up this morning...Hailey started painting his toenails and she would have gotten away with it - but she grabbed his sore (possibly broken) toe and that woke him up. Doesn't he look pretty?
