How can one holiday be so tiring? Yesterday afternoon, Racecar and I were sitting on the driveaway at my in-laws house (it was warmish with no wind! and sunny!), he laid down on my lap and said “man, Easter is so tiring.”
He is so right. I slept for eight hours last night and all I want to do is sleep right now. I did do level two of the 30 Day Shred for the first time today, which was difficult but really good, I also shredded on Easter, while hopped up on chocolate and jelly beans. (not recommended.) What is recommended, for those of you on level one…be sure you do all of those push ups, you’ll need those arms muscles in level two.
So now, I need to do the laundry I didn’t do yesterday and clean the house I didn’t clean yesterday, so how about I just give you some pictures from yesterday and I’ll go take a nap. er. I mean, I’ll go do my chores. k? (but I’m really going to take a nap.)
The Easter Bunny brought us Mario Kart for the Wii which is just about the GREATEST GAME IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE. All four of us are completely addicted. If I weren’t working my way towards a Macbook, I’m certain all I’d do is play and never work.
damn responsibilities. I love the Easter Bunny. She’s brilliant. I wish she’d bring me a Macbook.
Brian and I are pretty much candy nazis. When we said they could have a peep and at 8:30 in the morning to boot, they deemed yesterday as THE BEST DAY EVER.
Two years ago I would have flipped out about grass stains and holes and Racecar picking out red socks to wear on Easter. Nowadays I realize that those things do not matter at all.
Yesterday we missed James & Jake so much, but as always we are reminded of how blessed we truly are. so blessed.
Great pics from Easter. My camera sat on the shelf except to take pics of dinner to send to The Hub’s – got to get my digs in LOL Even more so when his Easter dinner was Wendy’s lol
To bad the Easter bunny didn’t bring you a Mac, then you would be cool like me ROFL.
YEAH for Mario kart….I am addicted, wanna verse me sometime online!?!
The Easter Bunny loves you guys! Awesome!
And that last picture is fantastic. Concentrating so hard….beautiful
I love Mario Kart! We need to play soon.
I love your adorable kids, and I love that grass stains no longer matter. It’s so true.
I am so screwed when I get to level two. I seriously struggle to do one push up. Don’t believe me? If I have a drink or two at BlogHer this year I might just prove it to you, lol!
Great pictures. The kids looked so stinkin cute. I heard all about Mario Kart today. It was a hit.
I Love! Love! Love! Ariel’s dress. Soooo grown up!! Racecar looks handsome & grown up too. Glad it was a good day. Just FYI, as I type, MAM is planning a lunch date at chik-fil-a with said grown up kids (thoughtfully suggested by PBS).
happy easter! you photos are beautiful. love seeing the kids in their easter outfits. so cute
Ariel’s dress is so pretty. Mario Kart is the best game ever. It was my favorite game on the old school Super Nintendo back in the day. My sister has it for the Wii and when I am playing I don’t share with anyone. So it is a good thing we don’t have it in our house. My kids would learn way too many bad lessons.
Yea for shredding!
I love this post! All of the photos are awesome- you look SO bright and fulfilled! I love love love it.

Funny! I bought that SAME tie, after you referred me to the shop for both of my boys. I never got a picture of them together. But, JJ chose to wear his with crocs, and I gave up and let him.
We LOVE Mario Karts. It is the awesomest.
Your kids are utterly beautiful in their easter outfits! And dang, all the easter bunny brought us was candy and more candy. Though I do love me some mario kart, fer sure!
Love Ariel’s dress! If you talk to the Easter bunny I would like a laptop!! Did you Shred today?
What Sweet pictures. I would like a Wii for Easter-or Memorial Day, or whenever is possible!
My daughter wore that same dress yesterday!
Mario Kart IS the best game ever. Did you know you can play your friends online? That’s also the best thing ever!
I love this post and your photos!
Those pictures are so sweet, your children are adorable!
hugs,
Natalie
Mario Kart = BEST. GAME. EVER. That’s our date night. That, vodka and red bull.
Love the pics!
“Two years ago I would have flipped out about grass stains and holes and Racecar picking out red socks to wear on Easter. Nowadays I realize that those things do not matter at all.” Amen. Thanks for the reminder.
You have a couple of beautiful children!
I was a candy nazi until I tried potty training and found out that Sugar was terrified of the potty chair – now she thinks candy is a brand new food group and asks for it all the time, fortunately she isn’t afraid of the potty chair anymore… unfortunately she isn’t catching on to the whole potty in the potty chair thing very fast
Sounds like ya’ll had a lovely Easter!
Racecar and Ariel are so adorable!
They are just too adorable for words!
Those are some fabulous pictures of the kids!
GREAT pictures of the children! I especially love the look on their faces as they are eating the peep… priceless!
I LOVE me some Mario Kart!
That is the exact dress I wanted to get for Zoe, but they didn’t have it in her size. It didn’t matter anyway…we got 11 inches of snow and had to hunt eggs in the house. LAME.
Happy Easter!
Your kids are adorable! Where did you get that gorgeous dress for your daughter?
Oh man- ever since my 5.5 year old played Wii at her cousins house, all she wants to do is get one. She even knows what the box looks like. Do you have the wii fit? I heard it can tell you your weight/bmi. Just wondering.
The dress that Ariel’s wearing is beautiful!!! And I SO dig Racecar’s tie. He definitely picked the right one. Your kids are so flippin cute! Great photos!
Love these pictures. Brother and sisterly love.
if we sat on my mom’s deck with the house blocking the wind it WAS beautiful out… LOL.
Love your pictures. Happy belated Easter.
Ok, your pictures are gorgeous!
I love the ones outside, especially the one where they are playing on the ground
(yes, grass stains are a battle I’ve realized I will always lose with my little guy, too!)
Love those pics! they represent real joy in the life of your kids!! Thanks for sharing, and way to go on level 2 of the shred…today is day 9 for me, so I’ll move up on Thursday! Ugh!!
He’s totally right! Easter is EXHAUSTING! =)
I love how happy the kids look in these pictures. I know holidays like this must be so difficult, but I love how much fun your family was able to have.
Your children are truly beautiful!
Your kiddos are adorable!!! Oh, and the Easter Bunny brought Mario Kart for the Wii to our place too. He sure knows what he’s (she’s) doing. =)
What great pictures of your kids.
