Easter Weekend

After the week we had, we were ready for a nice RELAXING Easter weekend

We might have relaxed a little too much because it didn't really feel like Easter but that's okay

My little man has had allergy yuck, bronchitis and ear infection so we laid low

We had a wedding Friday night 

CONGRATULATIONS Mr. and Mrs. Joey Petty

I had my hopes set on some yummy wedding cake but Parker was ready to come home and chill out

We came home and made cupcakes since Parker missed his Spring party on Thursday 

He picked FUNFETTI (He is definitely my off spring)

We ended the night with a game of Bingo

On Saturday morning I jolted out of bed after hearing Amelia tear through the house

This long hair beauty has issues

Issues with Poo

She gets it stuck in her fur

Thankfully I got up quickly and confined her to the bathroom

This Mama didn't want to spend my Saturday morning disinfecting bathrooms

and bathing a cat 4 times but we didn't have a choice

She will be going to the vet on Tuesday for a sanitary clip

She can be a pain but we LOVE her 

She enjoyed her first Easter

After we got all the poo cleaned up, we decided to head to Davenport to get the boys new shoes

Am I the only Mama that HATES buying shoes for her children?

I would ALMOST rather stay home and clean up cat poo (I'm just kidding)

I told Spencer before we left - We will not buy you the most expensive pair of shoes you find

At the first shoe store, he found a pair for $82 and a pair for $80

He was convinced he was getting the $80 pair because they weren't the most expensive

Next time, I will set a dollar amount

At the 4th store, they both found some they liked and when the kids are happy, Mama's happy

I hope these shoes last forever

When we got home from shoe shopping, I took Parker to an Easter egg hunt at Bickford Cottage

I was scatter brained and forgot the camera and the inhaler

On a happy note- Parker got a whole bucket full, plus 2 handfuls of eggs

Candy, Candy and More Candy

I thought the boys might think they were too old to color eggs but I was wrong

Saturday night as we were watching TV, the boys were telling me what they hoped the EB would bring them

Why do my kids do this to me?

Now I know why all the CRAZY people waited until the last minute to buy their kids Easter stuff

Parker wanted a lollipop

Spencer wanted something totally different than Parker

AND they waited until 8:00PM the night before Easter to tell me

Needless to say, I did not go to the store after they fell asleep to buy them what they REALLY wanted

They got the same thing-

Animal Planet books

Nike goggles

Money

and 

More candy than any child would ever need

Next year I will be one of those CRAZY women tearing things off the shelf at Wal-Mart at 10:00PM

On Sunday morning I got up early and made the most delicious coffee cake

The recipe we be posted soon

I found the recipe on Pinterest from the Picky Palate blog

The boys loved it (It has to be pretty amazing for them to love it)

I'm sure it had to do with the fact that it was full of fat and sweetness -other wise known as, butter and sugar

We got every body spiffied  up (Is that a word? What's the past tense of spiffy?)

And we went to an AMAZING church service at Heartland Fellowship

Thank you Pastor Tim for your passion and energy

Thank you to the praise team for you glorious songs

and 

Thank you to the workers down stairs who watch over and teach our little ones

After church the kids hunted for some more eggs on the church lawn

Wasn't  the weather beautiful on Sunday?

We came home from church and did absolutely nothing

We hope you had a Blessed Easter!
