So a couple of years ago, when I was first pregnant with The Boy, we didn't even have an Easter egg hunt until the week AFTER Easter because I was so tired and sick. Last year wasn't too memorable--we just hid eggs around the apartment and let the girls go at it. It was over in two minutes.
BUT THIS YEAR! Oh, the beauties of having an actual backyard! We had a real Easter egg hunt and it lasted at least 10 minutes! I'm pretty sure it was 10 minutes because that's how long it takes my ankles to swell up and tell me to go sit down somewhere. ANYway, I was the official photographer and The Hub was the official egg-hider/rememberer of the eggs' hiding locations.
And the girls are off! (The Boy was napping.)
Look at our green backyard! It may be landscaped with "native grasses", but I sure do love the color! The Eldest was a very intent egg finder.
Miss Bubbly got frustrated with her basket's capacity after a while and started using her hands...
...and her cheek.
My Easter surprise! We have flowers growing in the most random places in our yard.
The Hub conferring with Miss Bubbly, trying to remember where he hid the last three eggs.
The Eldest and Miss Bubbly comparing their bounty.
I love this shot of Miss Bubbly. I am not a professional/trained photographer by any means, but sometimes I get lucky and end up with pictures that I love.
The Boy, post-nap. He lets us mess with him. In fact, he seems to think it's funny. Will he think it's funny in thirty years, when I'm showing these pictures to his kids? Who knows!
Non-Easter stuff: The Boy wanted to homeschool...
...just like his sister. I love it!
Also, I made a pledge in the beginning of the year that I'd make five things by hand and give them to my friends. Here's what I made--some waxed linen and bead bracelets, as inspired by this post.
Obviously, I created my own version of it--I can't help it. I just can't leave things in their original format! The Hub's had to request, more than once, that I follow a recipe exactly the first time to see if we like it BEFORE I start modifying it.....
(Don't mind my pixelated face. I've got to quit being so camera-lazy.)
Lastly, I found this maternity shirt at the thrift store last week. It sums up my last trimesters quite nicely.
