Playgroup Egg Hunt

Wednesday last week we got together with some friends and had a little Easter Egg Hunt for the kids. Each kid brought a dozen eggs and some of the moms hid them all around the park. 

The hunt is on. The kids came racing up the grass hill ready to look for the eggs. Payton and Nicholas were very excited!

Scarlett not even caring about what is going on. 

We hid the eggs all over this park.

It would be a miracle if you could get every kid to look for the picture and smile, but we all know thats not possible. 

Nicholas, Payton, and Austin. They were very glad to have their baskets filled with eggs and candy.

Scarlett only cared about her juice. She is such a stinker

After the group pictures the kids ran off. We found them up on the play structures opening all their eggs and eating all their candy. They were happy. Reyna loves her candy!

Over all it was a very fun event. The kids loved it!

Coloring Easter Eggs

Last Monday we colored eggs as a family. Payton loved it the most. Scarlett thought it was fun at first, but then totally lost interest. 

I just love these two shirtless kids.

Both of them with their "cheese" faces!

Obviously she didn't figure it out. Maybe next year!

Scar, Mal and Payt

Mal was trying to show the kids how it was done. We mixed the colors and Payton thought that was pretty cool. Scarlett was done at this point and ready for bed. 

Payton still going strong. It was a fun evening as a family. Surprisingly it wasn't too big of a mess and Payton's hands were not that bad!

Campout!

Last weekend Payton and Josh had a campout in the backyard. Payton was super excited! Josh has been wanting to do this with Payton for a while now, but needed to wait until the weather was nice enough. It was definitely a success and I am sure it will happen more and more now.

Josh and Payton working on setting up the tent. 

Payton is such a big helper

All set up!

Scarlett thought for sure she was going to be able to be out there with the boys. She was able to play with Payton inside the tent for a little while before bed time. 

Getting the beds all set up inside. 

Everything is all set up inside. 

My two little campers. All they really did was sleep in the tent. We put Scarlett to bed and Payton, Josh, and I watch a movie. After the movie was over the two of them went and slept in the tent. 

This was in the morning while Josh was cleaning out the tent and taking it down. 

These two just loved running around and playing inside the empty tent. 

After the tent was all cleaned up and put away Josh and Payton went out and did some yard work. Payton wanted to help Josh mow the lawn. You can't really see them in these pictures but Payton is wearing headphones that people usually wear when they shoot guns. He hates loud noises!

They did a pretty good job.

It's quite nice to be able to spend Saturdays as a family. I am really enjoying having our weekends.
