Easter Festivities

We went to an Easter Egg hunt yesterday afternoon and the boys had a lot of fun. Jake & Ethan are not in the same age group anymore so they had to hunt at separate times (which wasn't ideal) but it worked out nonetheless. When we got home we colored eggs. Both boys had no trouble coloring them without assistance and both were unhappy when all of the eggs had been colored. The Easter bunny came this morning and filled their baskets with candy and toys and we spent the day playing. I cooked pulled pork for dinner which Randy says could be boxed and sold, it's just that good. Wish I could claim the recipe!

We capped off the day with a visit from Randy's Mom, and enjoyed some dessert.

Easter party

Ethan had his Easter party at school today and Jake and I went to visit. They sang songs, had an egg hunt, and had pizza & cupcakes. Jake thought he should sit at the table with all of the kids and so he did! Ethan was very sweet to share with him (as he usually is).

On another note, check out the gift that Dan & Stephanie got me for my birthday! It's a 16x20 canvas and I chose the new picture of the boys for it. I love how it turned out!

Our room FINALLY!

This is a picture of our bedroom as it was for the past 6.5 years. We painted it red before we got married, before we moved any furniture in. We loved the color but it was time for a change! I found a duvet cover that I liked and decided to match the new paint to it. 3 walls are light tan and the 4th wall is teal. I hadn't put the duvet cover on before taking the "after" picture, but you get the gist of it. Randy installed a new ceiling fan and I found lamps on craigslist ($30 for both!!!)
