Easter Weekend Part 2

Today was actually Easter although it was more like "Sloppy Rainy Seconds" for us since yesterday was our "real" celebration in the sunshine with the egg hunt and barbecue. But, we still had unfinished business to attend to!

Before it started raining this morning, I bribed forced encouraged the kids to go outside and get a quick round of Easter pictures done. 

Note: usually a week or so before Calen's birthday, I punch out the annual Spring/Easter/Birthday photos all in one shebang. But, NO thanks to the late winter (they call is "spring". It is most definitely NOT spring), the grass isn't green and the trees/flowers aren't even blooming. So I've been waiting impatiently to do spring/birthday pictures. Which at this rate will be done by June.

Once that was over we did Easter baskets. Apparently Easter was violent this year, because both boys got a new Ninja Turtle and a Ninja Turtle dress up kit (along with some sandbox toys, matchbox cars and bubble guns and other random things. And of course, no less than 3 tons of candy).

Regarding Ninja Turtle dress up kits: I didn't really think Camden would get into it. But he snatched up the Leonardo katana and started whacking every family member with it yelling "YAH!!!! YAH!!!!" 

Apparently we watch too much Ninja Turtles in this house.

After we disarmed the ninjas and took them to church, they had lunch in an egg carton (something new and different I found on Pinterest) and then Skype with grandparents while they "opened" another set of Easter baskets from them.  And then more sugar eating and eating barbecue leftovers with friends.

I think Easter was a big success this year. Of course anytime you can take a one day holiday and stretch it into two it's a big success. Especially when there's chocolate involved.
