Easter Egg Hunt

Here is the egg hunting gang. They are a wild bunch after being totally sugared up.

She found one!

He's mad because one of the bigger brothers grabbed one he saw before he could get to it. :(

I love this outfit I found at Gymboree. Love the Later Gator hat!

Mr. Cheese!! :)

I found one!!!!

She's too busy trying to be cute to find eggs...

We hid the eggs, found them, re-hid them, found them again, and so on at least 4 or 5 times. A good time was had by all and the only one that managed to step in dog poop in the yard was me. :( It seems to be the kind of day I'm having but at least the kids are having a great time!

A Strange Request

This is my "Peanut". He's 7 and getting ready to turn 8 in June. Since the boys' birthdays are all in the summertime, once spring starts rolling around, the discussion of "what I want for my birthday" begins.

We made a short run to Wal-mart Friday night and he says, "Mom, can we go to the Garden Center and buy some plants?" I said, "Not tonight buddy, it's supposed to snow all weekend long." He says, "Well that's what I want for my birthday." I was distracted and trying to get what we needed and get out and said, "You want what for your birthday?" (thinking he was looking at a toy or something in passing) He says, "Plants. I want plants for my birthday." All righty then...

He does love working outside in the yard with me and here's a picture of him planting some mums in the fall. He loves digging in the dirt. One year I got him his own little set of gardening tools and he LOVED them.



Granted, I'd love to get some new plants for the yard and such but it seems kind of like cheating him if he gets them for his birthday so I thought maybe something like a mini terrarium or something for his room? If anyone has any great ideas, I'm open to any and all suggestions.
