Photo update: Easter and springtime fun!

A quick update (mostly pictures) from Easter and the warm spring days (finally!) we have been enjoying around here.

 

We hid and hunted the same eggs over and over on Easter Sunday. The kids played in the sprinkler - hence the wet hair (and clothes) here.

The weekend before Easter we went to a big Easter egg hunt at Cooper Park in Mtn. Home with Jessica and Regan. There were hundreds of kids! It was crazy but fun.

First sleepover (gasp!)

Last Friday Lola had her first sleepover (we called it a "slumber party" back in my day). Regan spent the night with us. Let me just say there was a whole lot of giggling and squealing.

Finn and I picked the girls up from school on Friday.

We ordered pizza from Jackie's, then the girls took a bubble bath.

We made homemade popcorn, and I polished their nails.

We made a pallet in the living room floor. They started to watch Mary Poppins then decided they'd rather watch Frosty the Snowman, which we still have on our DVR from Christmas. (The below picture was actually taken Saturday morning - Regan woke up at 5:30, and the first thing she said was: "Can I put my princess dress on?") They were still pretty excited at bedtime, so they had a hard time falling asleep. I laid down with them, and they were asleep within 5 minutes. Regan slept great. Lola - not so much. But that is a story for another day. The girls had a blast, and I think Regan's mom and dad enjoyed a much-needed night to themselves. :)

In other news, Finn was a bit under the weather all last weekend. I'm pretty sure it's all related to his teeth. He usually goes down for naps in his crib without a fuss. But he wanted to be held and rocked instead. It's hard to take time for that when there is another little one (Lola) vying for my attention, but I try to remind myself that someday he'll be too big to rock. So, I'll take it for now.

24-hour cold water challenge

It might be April 2, but the water temp is nowhere near warm enough to swim!

Have you heard of this 24-hour cold water challenge thing? I was hoping to fly under the radar, but I was tagged by my cousin, Beth Morgan Strong, and I couldn't let her down. I did this to raise money for the Pontiac Fireworks. And I challenged Norman Eubank. Craig Mincke, Jackie Klineline, Betsy Stilley, Kelly Laurie, Mike MacPherson and the Honorable Judge Cynthia MacPherson. They pay me $20 if they accept; $50 if they do not. Hahaha. Good luck to all.
