Tall Grass: Oh Yeah... Easter

Oh Yeah... Easter

So... Easter was a couple of weeks ago. I have had no uninterrupted time until today. I love Easter. It is one of my favorite holidays, mostly because there are never any expectations. It seems to be a little different every year and nobody tends to mind. This year we had our usual Easter morning... Peeps for breakfast. Not really but that's the first thing they ate as usual. We were hosting the Easter lunch at our house, so in order to keep the house from smelling like breakfast pork, I came up with the best idea for Easter breakfast... McDonald's. They were totally open on Easter. IT WAS AWESOME! and the easiest clean up ever!

This is Katie... she walked from her room, to the couch, grabbed the peeps, and ate away.

Here is Sammy... realizing the eggs have stuff inside them. How cool is that? He got a big blue bouncy ball. Baby's are so easy to please.

Kyler... probably thinking the whole Easter thing is lame, but participating anyway.

And little Jonas... he was so excited. He was very determined to find all the Easter eggs, especially the camouflaged eggs, because those are the ones with the money in them. (Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me, I totally forgot about that)

This is all the kids... Jackson, Jonas, Parker Kade, Tim, Sam, Katie, Izabel, Eliza, and Kyler

Sam was so cute trying to find the eggs. After he found them, he would dump them out, walk away and then go back and put them in his basket. It was a never ending Easter egg hunt for him.

It was a good Easter. Everyone came (well except for Steph) even Grandma. It was a fun day. We also got some exciting news that my little brother Patrick and his girlfriend Jackie are expecting a baby. A little surprising but very exciting. We can always use another cousin.

Last night Myke was laying down by Sammy. He likes to distract you while he's suppose to be going to sleep. As he was laying down he looked at Myke and started reciting every word he knows. Uh-oh, no-no, here you go, thank you, up, binky, blankie, night-night. He thought he was sooo funny.

The other day I was in the other room and I hear my kids talking. By the way they aren't even suppose to be eating downstairs.
Kyler: Just bring me down a plate, so I can put crackers on it for Sammy.
Katie: O.k, Maybe we should just bring the high chair downstairs.
Kyler: Oh yeah, just bring the high chair downstairs
Katie: O.k
Mom: Noooo!!! Do not take the high chair downstairs
Katie: Mom said No
Kyler : Oh
Sometimes I wonder... seriously wonder

Jonas colored two identical pictures of Santa Claus. I showed them to Katie, wondering if he might have accidentally taken one of the other kids' at school. She said,"They aren't the same mom, Santa's standing on his head in one of them". I looked at it and I was holding one upside down. Okay Katie?!

Sometimes the kids bring woodchips home in their shoes from the school playground. There happened to be one by the front door. Sammy was scootin' fast towards it, with a look of serious intent on his face. Katie picked it up and then it was gone. I told her to throw it outside and she just looked at me. I said, "Where did you put it?" She looked caught and said,"I threw it down the heater vent."

Jonas said,"I want a webkins for my birthday." Myke said," Do you know what I want for my birthday?" Jonas thought about it for a second and said,"me to be quiet."

I got braces about a month ago and they are very painful and irritating. Kyler still has his braces on too. Today they put a power chain on my teeth which really hurts. So, I was talking to Kyler in the car and I said,"braces are the most annoying thing in the world, don't you think?" Kyler said, "no, they're not that bad." And I said,"what could possibly be more annoying?" He just looked at me and said," You....complaining about your braces."

Jonas was singing the song "Down By the Bay", after he sang the part about a goose kissing a moose down by the bay he said, "Strange things happen down by the bay, huh mom."

Katie was telling me how she liked one of her friend' s outfits, and that she wanted an outfit like that. Her other friend said,"Oh now you like her clothes, you wanted to wear clothes like mine last week." Katie said, "That was one day, (kid's name). And her friend said,"nu huh you did it yesterday too, we had the same shoes on." Katie looked at her and said, "Yeah, that was just an accident".

While I was brushing Katie's hair before bed, Jonas came in to inform us that the Oympics start in three days Katie says excitedly,"That's so cool Jonas, are you going to be in it."

On Sunday we all went to The Gateway with the Walkoviak's. When we were walking back to our car in the parking garage Jonas said,"Mom, wait for me, I'm too young to die."
