Happy Easter

We had a wonderful Easter holiday at church and with our families this year. The kids got up and enjoyed their treats from the Easter bunny before we started the day off with our Sunday School Easter egg hunt. The kids had a great time! Sarah looked like a little cricket hopping around everywhere in her pretty dress, but she did get 16 eggs! While J.T., who I fear is a little "o.c.d." about cleanliness, had a good time too until he got worried he had mud on his shoes. Following Sunday school we had a wonderful church service. After church we went to my Granny and Papaw's for our traditional Easter lunch (can you say the BEST coconut cream pie?!) then it was off to my mother-in-law's where I was unable to eat another bite. Finally, we rounded the day off with church at Chalybeate where Bro. Richard Minton preached a good sermon. I hope all my blogging buddies feel as blessed as I do. I hope you all had great Easter too!

J.T. aka Troy Bolton

Sarah loves the High School Musical movies (I must confess I find them cute too). However, J.T. could really careless if he watches them except for HSM2 when Troy sings "Bet On It" and in HSM3 when he and Chad sing, "The Boys are Back." Here are some pictures I find absolutely adorable, but my son will one day loathe. Eat your heart out Zac Effron. J.T. has got his moves down!

Miss Tiny Hiney

Yes, I said tiny hiney. That has been Sarah's nickname since she was old enough to walk. The poor child has NEVER been able to keep a skirt, pants, etc. up on her skinny hips and rear. Tonight's classroom ballgame was no different! Bless her heart she couldn't hardly run for trying to keep her pants up, but she gets an "A" for effort. I'm not sure who had more fun; Sarah playing ball or J.T. cheering for her! They were all so stinking cute out there. We all had fun, and as we were leaving the gym Sarah informed us she was done doing ballet from now on she's doing basketball! Yikes! (We still have a ballet recital to get through in May and basketball season is over.) We'll have to discuss this further...

J.T. at play park

J.T. was feeling down because his "new best friend Sissy and new best friend Daddy" had gone back to school and work. So I thought a little playtime at the park would perk him up. He had a ball! At first he was leary of going down the slide, but he soon got warmed up and didn't want to leave. Here are some pictures I took of Mr. Man having a good time. He had so much fun he didn't want to leave to go pick up his "best friend, Sissy" from school! P.S.--We didn't mention to Sarah that while she was at school we were playing at the park ;-)

Let's go fly a kite!

Although it seems for the last month someone in our home has been sick with something or other, we were able to get outside at least once recently to fly kites. The kids and Chris flew the kites and, naturally, Mom (aka your's truly) was the photographer. That's okay, though, I had a really good time laughing at them having so much fun!

Poor Baby

Not only did Sarah get alot of nice presents for her birthday; she also got a nice case of haemophilus influenza! Yay. My baby girl is feeling pretty rough, and it just breaks my heart to see her so miserable. No matter how old my kids get; when they get sick, my world stops. I know it's not just us, though, just about everyone you talk to has been sick or is currently sick with something equally yucky. Bring on the warm weather, please! I don't know about anyone else, but I'm dreaming of a beach vacation...

Paintin' the town...pink!

Sarah chose the Paintin' Place for her party this year. You can see from the pictures she had a blast! Mommy didn't mind going there either ;-)
