Easter

We had such a good time celebrating Easter this year. Grace was really in to Easter this year and I think she really understands what Easter is all about. 

On Thursday we colored eggs.

 On Friday we made Easter cupcakes (didn't take a picture. Oops!)

On Saturday I took Grace to the egg hunt on post. She has never been to a big egg hunt before so this was something new for her.

She had so much fun! We didn't count her eggs but I think she found about 10. It went pretty fast since there were so many kids there. I think most kids got a basket full though. Out of the baskets I saw Grace probably had the least.

 

 She had fun going through her eggs on the way home!

Sunday morning Grace woke up to see what was in her Easter basket. The night before after she had gone to bed Dustin went outside. She heard the door and told me "Oh, I think the Easter bunny is at my house!"

Olivia loved her Easter basket too! And, yes, that would be her Christmas pj's she is wearing :)

They each got a dollar coin and that was Olivia's favorite thing! 

And then it was time to get dressed up in their new dresses for church!

Don't they look so beautiful?

After church we had lunch at my parents and an egg hunt. Both girls got quite a bit of money and candy in their eggs. Even though Olivia found the fewer eggs than her sister and cousin she ended up with the most money. We took Grace to Wal-Mart to buy the fairies she had been wanting for a month. She had been waiting to have enough of her own money to buy them.

We had another egg hunt that evening with more family. My Grandpa had some beanie babies and eggs and money and candy. Grace found a "golden egg" and won the BIG chocolate bunny! Grace also found 44 eggs! And Olivia won the prize for the least amount of money and got an extra $5.

A New Park!

Last week we found a new park on-post so we planned a day earlier this week to go. I am so glad we did! They just built this park over the winter. 

We only played on one side of the park. There was a lot more that we didn't even venture over to see. We are going to have to go back because I think this is our new favorite!

Maybe next time we can get a friend to go to race Grace down the slide.

The girls enjoyed crawling through this little tunnel!

And Olivia has really started LOVING the swings!!

Next time we are leaving her white shoes at home :)

I think Grace's favorite thing was the butterfly she found. It had a hurt wing and couldn't fly.

We will probably be back at the park next week!

Project Life Week 13

It is already time for week 13! We had a busy week and I missed a day. I haven't had much time to work on layouts so I am getting even further behind.

 Week 13 - March 25 - 31

 

 Sunday - We were out of town for a couple of days for a job interview. Grace and Olivia got to swim in the hotel pool!! Grace LOVES staying in hotels... especially when she can swim and eat a continental breakfast :)

 Monday - Olivia found some paper and a pen and decided she would try to draw a picture.

 Tuesday - Grace was playing with my camera and this is one of the pictures she took.

 Wednesday - I found Grace snuggling with her giant Dora during nap time.

 Thursday - Olivia licked her bowl clean!

Friday - Olivia was ready to go for a walk. She climbed up in the stroller all by herself! She is my little monkey :)

Project Life Week 12

Project Life Week 12 - March 18 - 24

Sunday - We caught Olivia playing with her sisters kitchen. So much fun! My batteries in my camera were dead so this is just a crummy phone picture :(

 Monday - We got a LOT of rain. After dinner Grace got to play in the puddles! She loved putting on her rain gear.

 Tuesday - Grace loves technology. She was playing a game on my phone.

No picture for Wednesday. We stayed home all day and I didn't get my camera out.

 Thursday - I was preparing for dinner and Olivia kept herself busy with these paper cups.

 Friday - Olivia got her first lawn mower ride!

Saturday - Grace is teaching Olivia about books! I am going to have two girls that love to read :)

And here are my week 4 layouts:

Puddles!

This is how we enjoy a rainy day!

Puddles are so much fun for a three year old :) 

And for those of you who have been reading for a while... does Grace's rain outfit look familiar? 

We splashed around in puddles in the same boots and poncho in Okinawa! 

Project Life Week 11

Week 11 has already came and gone. This year is going by QUICK! Time sure does fly when you are having fun. I am enjoying Project Life so much. It will be fun to look back at this when the girls are a little older and remember these days.

 

Project Life Week 11 - March 11 - 17

 Sunday - Grace got a Tinkerbell skirt and wings. As soon as I pulled my camera out she ran to hide. I snapped this before she could close the closet door :)

 Monday - Hmm.. I wonder where Olivia gets this! She was hiding from the camera while we were doing our grocery shopping.

 Tuesday - We spent a couple of hours at the park. The girls had such a great time!

 Wednesday - Grandma is trying to fill her trampoline with balls. She still needs some more but the girls like playing with the ones she has.

 Thursday - My silly girl climbed into the shower after I got out. She likes to trap me in the shower in the morning by pushing on the glass door. I can't open it without knocking her over on to the hard tile floor so I have to call for Grace to come to my rescue!

 Friday - Grace WANTED her picture taken. Isn't she so pretty? She loves to make sure her clothes match but this day she just wanted to wear pink socks because she loves the color pink. 

Saturday - Grace is showing off her green pancake (and eggs) that we made for St. Patrick's Day.

And here are my layouts for Week 3. I am still trying to play catch-up :)

Sunshine!

Last week was full of warm, sunny days! We were outside a LOT. We weeded the flower bed and added some mulch. We picked "purple flowers" from the yard. We collected dandelions. We took walks around our neighborhood almost every day. And we went to the park! This is one of the many parks on post. We took our lunch and had a picnic before we played. Afterwards, we stopped by the "ice cream stand."

I don't know why, but Olivia likes to try and climb up slides. She would rather try to climb it than slide down it. Silly girl! 

And today we are getting lots and lots of rain. I think we will enjoy some time inside today.
