Awaiting leprechauns.
St. Patrick's Day morning the kids awoken to find lots of green little footprints...
And can you believe that those mischievous leprechauns even managed to kiss each of the kids on their nose without waking them up?
They even managed to turn the milk green...
Much to the kids' disappointment, they didn't catch a leprechaun. They knocked the traps over and stole the gold, but were thoughtful enough to leave some gold chocolates in their place. We'll try again next year!
I found a recipe for "pudding pops". Big hit!
Samuel made his Daddy a color-by-number. :)
Elsie and Samuel made a resurrection set for Easter.
Jacob probably would have colored 3 dozen eggs if we'd let him, as opposed to the 10 he was allotted. :)
Elsie ready to go shopping with her hand-me-down purse from Mommy. We enjoyed our "girl time".
Finding eggs...
Jacob found his Easter basket in the toy room, but was frustrated when he couldn't figure out how to get it out from under the horse!
Easter morning was so fast paced that we didn't get a single family photo. Jacob was so tired after church and was stripping off his shoes, tie, coat before he even shut the door behind him!
My sweet "big kids".
The "kid's table" at Grandma and Grandpa D.'s.
Samuel made this pinata (with a little help from his big sis) to share with his cousins on Easter.
Dapper Michael on his first Easter. (hmmm, I think this picture got out of place)
Cousins ready to break that pinata!
This is what I found the other night when I went in to check Samuel. He put his costume on over his pajamas. Super Sam!
Nice morning smiles!
Michael enjoying some fresh air.
How exciting to get the bikes out!
Not really sure what was going on here..... I found this on the camera while uploading pictures. Up to silliness with their Daddy I suppose!
One of those days last week when it was ALMOST starting to feel like spring.
Jake got himself ready to help get big sis off the bus, in his sister's hat and big brother's dress shoes. :)
