Don't get me wrong, We had a wonderful Easter weekend.......................It was GREAT! Just very busy and smack full of ALOT of candy and junk food............Which is probably why Emme tossed up all that candy and junk food starting about 12:30am early Monday morning............
Here's how it went..................starting with Good Friday----
Impromptu dinner and egg coloring, or spilling, or questions as to why are we giving them dye and yelling at them not to make a mess????
anywho...........Lots of fun and one of the best dinners Laura has made yet.........Beef tenderloin with a cheese and mushroom spread with merlot sauce.......Seriously? And it doesn't hurt that Jason is a wine distributor for Gallo..........Have Mercy!!
Oh don't worry, kids ate chicken and Mac & Cheese...............Do you think we would waste a meal like that on THEM??? ha! I kid, sort of...........
Saturday morning started early with ANOTHER egg hunt (egg hunt #2) at the neighborhood I play tennis out of..........They did a great job separating everything by ages and really had it looking nice, kids had a great time and filled their baskets quickly!!
And of course, no hunt is complete without your shades, right? It is all about the style!! Here are Hanley and Emme posing and trying to patiently wait for the start of the hunt!
And the hunt begins!!
So after every last basket was filled, we went to Emily and Justin's house for an afternoon of grilling and chillin............And I mean CHILLIN............Don't let the purple lips fool you, these kids had a blast!
That's right, this is actually in their backyard!! Hopefully by May, things will be alot warmer and think of all the money we'll save...........who needs White Water!! Thanks again, Emily and Justin, for a wonderful day!!
Now, one would think that after a busy day like this, we would go home and crash. Oh no, not us, we just recharged the batteries and headed back out to Emily & Dave's house............a little final four, a little pizza and a lot of fun............They have the most beautiful back patio area with firepit and outdoor kitchen, just beautiful! what? no pic? sorry, do that next time!
Shew........I am tired all over again, just thinking about this weekend!! Now, it's time for Easter!!
I am not sure about your house, but the Easter bunny leaves quite a mess at our house!
Good news is he leaves lots of goodies, too!!
I still do NOT have a picture of my kids for Easter..........so far, this is it! May have to do a reenactment..............
Now, for church, we were supposed to bring a flower to put on the cross out front.........And let me tell you, I came about as close to "Heart Failure from Swelling" as I ever had in my life!! I do not have the best memory, but I swear this memory will be with me forever.................
My blessings overflow like this cross overflowed with flowers...........And knowing that although my kids may not understand the meaning right now, He does. And I do.
So of course, what is Easter without another Egg hunt (egg hunt #3) !!
We went to my cousin's Kasey's house in Rockmart, Georgia............What a haul but always worth it! Food was great and company even better..............
The end...................
Oh yeh, the vomit.............that came about 12:30 and continued till about 2:30...........The hubby stayed home with her and by lunch, all was well...............Could have been a virus but I am guessing that virus was more like a little easter overload!
This is what we woke up to since we didn't arrive till the wee hours of the night or morning!
And the boys in their Michigan attire........................
What morning is complete without donuts and cartoons!! Right???
We had tons of fun.............Even got to see a school of dolphins!! It was beautiful weather and VERY ENTERTAINING!! Check out the moves below.............Taylor Swift, of course!!
William even found a refreshing way to stay cool.............................HA HA
Everybody even squeezed in their naps, well, almost everyone! Emme held strong!!
If you've been to Hilton Head, then you surely know about the guy that sings to the kids! And other than the AWFUL sand fleas, we laughed and danced and ate LOTS of ice cream........
Our last night, we ate at Salty Dogs and AGAIN, other than the sand fleas, the evening was perfect, well, except that my camera accidentally got switched to manual focus and most of these next pics are a little fuzzy..........But when you are 99% of the time BEHIND the camera, you do what you can when you are actually IN a picture!!
Of course, maybe the "fuzzy" helps hide the "aging" HAHAHAH!
Our last night involved a few incidents with some alligators.............I think my kids have a whole new concept of the "gator chomp"............Trust me, Caroline is probably NOT going to be the next Crocodile Hunter!!
Oh don't worry, kids ate chicken and Mac & Cheese...............Do you think we would waste a meal like that on THEM??? ha! I kid, sort of...........
