Family Home Evening

For FHE we had a delicious Italian dinner of Ravioli and salad, followed by Gene's famous chocolate malts. Sarah, being in charge of the activity, chose that we all play twister and other various games. It was a hoot watching the girls stretch and twist and fall on their faces.

Right foot-red, left foot-green, right hand-yellow...

I just love the joy on her face!

Busy, busy, busy

We've been on the road a lot this past week, as I've been busy shopping for and decorating the interior of the Sleepwell center (that I mentioned back in January). Each morning I'd have Sarah and Emma pack their backpacks with their essential books, school work, snacks & toys to keep them occupied. Sarah has been doing her schooling from the back seat of the van. Morgan's been learning to take her naps from her car seat. And Emma's been finishing off her Easter candy. One tank of gas and $4,500 dollars later ($500 under budget I might add) I'm finished...for now at least.

Sarah posing for the camera during homework. Such a pleasant child.

Morgan taking her second nap--yes, it's dark outside.

A sneak peek at the reception area for the Sleepwell center...about 95% completed.

Dying Easter Eggs

The day before Easter always sneaks up on me faster than I'd like. So much to do! This year we started dying eggs around 7pm. The girls had a lot of fun making glitter eggs and eggs with stickers and stenciling eggs with markers. About a quarter the way through we had them change their clothes--hopefully that dye will come out of Emma's white shirt. Oops. We also forgot to put down some newspaper on the kitchen table first, so hopefully the dye will come out of that table as well.

A change of clothes and a messy table later...

Rub-a-dub-dub three girls in the tub. Topping off Saturday night with a bubble bath. Have you ever gone to church with dye still on your fingers?

Easter Sunday

The Easter bunny hides the baskets at our house, so when we said "You can start to look on the count of 3..." Emma took off running. I love her expression.

Sarah and Emma (wearing Daddy's shirts for pj's) making quick work of those chocolate bunnies!

Little Miss Morgan wondering what to make of the Easter grass?!

This is best pic of their Easter dresses. After church Sarah changed quick as lightening and Miss Morgan was asleep, however I have an appointment to get their collective picture taken in said Easter dresses and I'll scan that in sometime in the future.
