Easter Weekend

Easter has always been one of my favorite times of the year.....it's a new, fresh start of the year and I welcome it every single year.  As the boys get older, the holiday's are filled with more fun and enjoyment, simply b/c they are into it.  This Easter, Brenton and I, decided that we needed to fulfill our boy's wish of a new Power Wheels and so the mission began.....After 4 calls to the local Wal-Mart's, we found the one that daddy wanted them to have.....F150 Raptor sxt w/ a working radio to boot! =)  Brenton was too cute about the whole thing and was so proud of it.....so glad we are at a point in life that we are able to do these types of things on a whim!  We had a super long weekend and the fun began on Good Friday....we got the boys to the church for an egg hunt in the morning and they enjoyed it for the most part.....Ethan, was so proud of his basket full of eggs and Colin, found 1 and was done =)  On Saturday, we headed back out to Sugarcreek to spend the day w/ Brenton's family and what a great day.  I went along w/ the big kids and we went on a journey at the park and headed into the nearby field.....hearing the imagination of the kids was too cute, so glad I went along!  When we got the boys home, after our day with the Shroyer's, we planted our "magic beans" and got ready for bed.  The boys slept like logs and then were up by 6:30 coughing, snotty noses, and pretty cranky!  However, they still enjoyed finding their baskets and played for a few more hours.....unfortunately, b/c of the hacking, we decided to stay home and have our own little church service with the "Easter Story Eggs" I made for the boys!  It turned out great and Ethan asked a lot of questions, but Colin is just too young yet to understand.  To finalize our Easter holiday, we headed back to Sugarcreek to spend Easter Sunday with my parents and had a good day!  We always have lots of food, fun, presents, and a nap somewhere in there too =)  The boys had a lot of fun w/ the egg hunt, my mom got dinosaur filled eggs and Ethan ate that all up.  Colin, well, he wasn't feeling good and slept most of the day away after eating hot dogs.  Overall, we had a fun Easter weekend and even though the boys ended up not feeling good, we are on the mend and now just dealing w/ coughs......
