Happy Easter

This morning we did our own little Easter egg hunt in the house for our kids. They really enjoyed it, especially the treats inside the eggs. C had them stuffed with assorted treats, like fruit loops, and small cookies. We don't like to over sweeten our kids, so more healthy snacks are implemented.


Later this afternoon, while H2 was sleeping, the rest of us decorated a cake. The directions were a bit tricky to follow, but the finished product had great reviews!





FYI: H1 likes to watch Tree House on TV, and this is one of his better shows. Thus the boat for Easter!!

In Our Gardens....

I've started edging a bit, with some help. H1 had his shovel right beside me, being the biggest helper ever. Of course I had to re-dig in spots, we had fun! I love this time of year with the bulbs starting to emerge.
