Coloring Easter Eggs

The girls had fun coloring Easter eggs today.  The package we bought was full of glitter and sequence, they thought that was pretty cool.

If you write on the egg with a white crayon before you dip it... your desing shows up.

Lauren's BIG win...

Lauren won this HUGE Easter basket.  Both of the girls entered a coloring contest at our local grocery store Dahl's and Lauren's name was drawn.  They also told us that we won a spiral ham as well for Easter dinner.  So Lauren of course was super excited when she saw the basket and Elise was devastated that she didn't win.  We tried to explain that it wasn't based on who had the best picture but it was just a drawing and Lauren got lucky.  Lauren, being the sweet little sister that she is, shared with Elise (minus the chocolate).

A weekend with the Barta's

We spent a weekend at Joyce and Dicks while Eric went to the Big 10 basketball tournament a few weeks ago.  Gavin and Austin were spending their spring break there too so the kids had a blast.  The weather was great and the kids were worn out!!  As it should be.

Lauren and Sadie.  Lauren LOVES dogs and she spent every minute she possibly could outside with Sadie... we need to get her a dog.

Joyce and Dick brought Austin an alligator skin from their trip to Florida.  He thought that was pretty cool.

Grandma and Grandpa Divine- March 24th, 2012

I love all of these photos with Grandma and Grandpa, especially the goofy ones.

Charlie was bird watching

This was so funny, the girls would lay on the ball and roll off, so then Charlie decided he would roll off of the girls and he would just laugh and laugh.

Lauren got a Rapunzel doll from Grandma and Grandpa as an early birthday present.

Wear 'em out....

We took the kids up to a local park to let them run.  It was a picture perfect morning.  The sun was out, it was warm out and lots of giggles.

Hangin' out with Grandpa Divine

The girls are really in to posing lately....

I just can't get enough of this kid.  He is the sweetest thing on the planet, he has the funniest facial expressions and he makes us laugh all of the time.

"If the girls can do.... so can I"

The girls were playing McDonalds drive through and they charged me $4.99 for diet coke and Dad got 2 burgers, fries, a pie and a drink for $4... I got jipped.

Charlie just got pooped out.  He got his cup and had a seat on the pavement.  I think the girls are good at wearing him out!
