I'm happy I'm a mom because...

...I now have the same love for Easter as I did when I was a kid! Oh my gosh, I can't even begin to tell you how much I am looking forward to next Easter when we can have Easter egg hunts, fun toys, CANDY, candy, oh...did I say CANDY? In case you didn't know, my brother and I are serious candy crazies. My mom and I were just talking about how we have no idea where our candy obsession came from, but have a hunch that it was the mondo size candy tubs (of sour ball things that I can't think of the name for...) from Sams, just because we loved them sooo much. That could be the year our cavities were out of control, but I'm not going to make assumptions, people.

All in all our Easter was good. We quickly realized that Eddie woke up a little later than expected, which meant that while we tried our best to get to church, 30 minutes into our 1 hour drive we were only a quarter of the way there, so we went to breakfast instead. We came home, relaxed and I started cooking. Eddie was totally crabby while the family was at our house, but that was to be expected since I scheduled everyone to come over right as he should have been napping (I learned my lesson there...). My dinner schedule went off without a hitch and I had food ready to go right at 4:00 as planned. Martha would be so proud! Eddie got some adorable presents from his grandparents (a bunny eared Stitch, a bunny that sings and dances, yogurt melts, toys and more!), some major Grandparent lovin and way too many yogurt melts at dinner. The silver lining of a bad nap day? A makeup day!! Eddie was very sleepy today, so we took advantage of the rainy day by sleeping in and taking lots of naps. It was so great!

{eddie was very protective of his egg}

{just. out. of. reach...}

{of course, the he dropped the egg. so I had to get creative - with an empty creamer. yup.}

{a moment of happy! wow!!}

{maybe he was mad at all of the golf? thanks, grandpa}

{Saddie loves Grandpa Frank and all of his walks!}

{Jack loves Grandpa Frank for all of his lovin}

{Eddie and his Rockin' Bunny}

{I love Stitch. I love Eddie. I love this picture!}

{and a meltdown. HAHAHAHA! Is it bad that I think this is a hilarious picture?}

Tonight I'm hoping I have the energy to make a new blog layout, so we'll see how far I get. I haven't even started to think about packing for our trip to Minnesota later this week, so a new blog layout will give me something else to focus on :)
