Happy Easter!

We had a nice and quiet Easter weekend here.  Saturday we let the boys dye Easter eggs.  We let them dry for a while, but the stickers we bought to put on the eggs didn't want to stick.  I think it was too humid for the eggs to dry properly.  We tried again Sunday but it still didn't work.  Oh well!  We did decorate some plastic eggs, though.  The boys seemed happy to do that for a little while.

Robbie is ready!

Our church had 3 Easter services Sunday morning.  Matthew and I originally talked about going to the 9:30 service, but then decided we should go to the 8:00 on instead.  It was a pretty fast morning, but it ended up being the first time in a long time that we were there early!  Robbie was even the first kid in his class.  After church I sat outside with the boys to try and decorate the eggs while Matthew set out the kids' baskets and hid Easter eggs in the family room for them to find.  Unfortunately the boys knew that the eggs had candy in them, so all they wanted to do was open the eggs and eat the candy!

Matthew made Easter dinner: ham, green beans, au gratin potatoes and rolls.  I was going to make deviled eggs, but we didn't cook them enough and the yolks were still a little raw.  Oh well.  The rest of dinner was delicious!

I propped Catie up in her bassinet so she could "join" us for dinner.  Hopefully she enjoyed her first holiday!

Unrelated to Easter, but this happened on Easter:  I've been trying to see if Alex's two year molars are coming in yet.  After bath time he let me feel around a little bit and part of his bottom left molar has already poked through!  He is handling it much better than the rest of the teeth, so I was surprised to feel it.  I figured he's let us know when his molars were coming in!
