Playgroup Easter Egg Hunt

Today we had an Easter egg hunt with our neighborhood playgroup friends. We went to a park in The Woodlands and had lots of fun! The weather was beautiful, but it is getting HOT! Time to pack the sunscreen in the bag all the time. I think now the kids are professional egg hunters, and they are ready for a visit from the Easter Bunny!

Last Year/This Year

Here is Anna on the turtle at the hunt this year...

Here is little Anna on the turtle last year...

The picture from today isn't very good, but she looks soooo different to me. Much more grown up!

First Egg Hunt!

Today was our first Easter egg hunt of the season. The kids have one pretty much everyday this week! Sam has a lot to learn because he acted like he was all ready to get those eggs, but when the time came- he wanted nothing to do with it!

I think this is everyone but Sam who refused to participate, and the little babies.

The three and four year olds! Kinley, Harry, Ava, Luke, Anna

Before the hunt ready to go!

During the hunt- he just sat there!

Checking out the loot!

Eggs

We colored Easter Eggs yesterday! Out of the six I boiled, only four made it out to dry in one piece. Sam was eager to touch and hold them a little too soon!

Carwash :)

Don't you want Anna to wash your car with the kitchen mop?

Before and After Pics

Enjoy! We LOVE it!!

Dining Room, Entry, and Study. The new wood floors are gorgeous!

Kitchen, you can kinda see the new carpet on the stairs!

Family Room

Game Room- not a good before pic but it was all I had!

House Update

This weekend we painted the new house. Matt, Jessie, and I painted until we could paint no more! We finished everything we wanted to. We painted Anna's room, Sam's room (which had to be primed first), the dining room, the study (also had to be primed...twice), the game room, the guest bedroom, and the guest bath, the laundry room, and finally-the pantry! Also Matt has been working on the trim all week. It all looks great! Tomorrow the painters come to do the family room, entryway, half bath, master bedroom and bath, Sam and Anna's bathroom, and the kitchen. Then Thursday the wood and carpet go in. I CAN'T WAIT to see it all together. I am super excited because today the contractor agreed to put in a Texas basement which is a closet under the stairs. Yay, more storage!!

During all of this my mom has been here cooking, taking care of confused, sometimes non cooperative children, cleaning, and helping me pack. She is a rock star!! I love you mom! We could NOT have done it without you!

And thank you, thank you Jessie. She painted all weekend and never complained. Always asked what we needed her to do next. I owe ya sis!! Love you!

Here are a couple of before and after shots. Some were taken with a camera and some with my phone so they aren't the best. I will post more later when I get a chance to take real pics!

Dining Room before...

This is also a good view of the dining and study. The carpet is now gone and wood floors go in soon!
