Spring Break and Early Easter

A few weeks ago we had Spring Break.  It was a beautiful week and we spent a lot of it outside and doing a few special projects.  We made shamrock pretzels for St. Patrick’s day, made cross collages, and played a lot on our neighbor’s super fun new swingset.  Mary and her 3 kiddos even spent one morning with us. 

  

At one point in the kids’ lunch, it got really windy outside and we had to move the picnic inside. 

    

Bryce, Lincoln, and Creighton enjoyed a “boys” morning and ate lunch in the tree house and more swingset fun.

Lincoln and the spider and web he made for preschool.

Creighton is an exhausting child these days.  Sometimes I feel like he follows me around destroying things and all out leaving disaster in his wake.  =)  He is so smiley and happy (most of the time) though that it is hard to get too mad at him. 

In the bathtub picture, he actually went and jumped into the bathtub with Lincoln with his blanket and fully clothed.  He loves to empty the puzzle cubby, dump all the kids games in a big pile, and he even knows that he shouldn’t play with Kate’s little dogs, so he puts them up high. 

   

We celebrated Easter with my parents over the weekend.  The kids made empty tomb rolls and enjoyed the Easter Egg Hunt. 

I tried to get a picture of the 3 amigos in their matching Easter clothes…..it did not go that well.  =)

 

Creighton really only cared about the part of this project that included eating chocolate chips.

   

Kate was so speedy I couldn’t keep up with her to get any pictures of her finding eggs.

One last picture of the master mess maker after he spread Easter grass all over the family room. 

Hope you all enjoy this Easter weekend spending time with family and friends and being thankful that Christ died and is risen again.  Praise God.
