Easter Part 2

Okay, so once the kiddies were done with their egghunt and baskets we sent them to play and the adults got down and dirty! Well not really we had to have the games inside due to some CRAZY weather! The games started with a blind folded egg hunt to find out what color your team would be (I made peep like shirts for each person out of the team colors). The next game was a bunny race. The guys held a bunny in their team color and as the girls rolled a big die they would 'race' to the finish line.
The next game was really cute. It was a take on pin the tail on the bunny. Each person on the team wore a velcro like pad on their behind and the other player tried to land a bunny on the velcro.






This last game got really physical! All it was, was a game I am sure you played as a kid. We had each player tie 2 balloons to their ankles and the goal was to be the last team/player with a balloon left. The last 2 player were my aunts and they were out for blood it seemed! They were honestly wrestling to win! I left that picture out, because it really wasn't that flattering.




The finale of the day was ROCKBAND! My mom of all people rocked the house LOL! She seemed to look down her nose at first at the idea of playing Rockband on Easter, but she brought down the house :) (sorry mom I had to blog it)




It was really a Great holiday! Even with the weather that couldn't decide if it was going to rain snow or be sun shiny!

The Start of Easter

Again since I am playing catch up I will be posting about Easter :)


We started our Easter by coloring eggs with the family. Gina wanted me to wear my hair like hers LOL (hair bows made by me, tutorial to come soon).


Okay so Easter was supposed to be at my house, but I was not ready, so my sister came to my rescue! We usually throw our holidays together but one of us hosts it. She really saved me! I got most everything ready for it and brought it to her house.
Gina sporting her fancy Bunny glasses , a special gift from her Oma Easter Bunny.
Adler with his special Easter Bunny ;) So precious. He really is such a sweet good baby. He wore out quickly on Easter Sunday and he and Daddy went home early for a good nap!
The Hostess's with the mostess's! LOL Really corny I know, but it was too much fun! More photos of Easter to come!

A lot of catching up to do

I am so far behind! I will start by posting St. Patrick's Day and get myself caught up :)

St. Patrick's Day is also my Dad's Birthday, so that morning Gina and I made a batch of Birthday cupcakes (Golden cake with Rainbow chip icing)!

Of course Gina is wearing yet another mommy made skirt and bows (shirt by Target :) ) We loaded up the Birthday goodies and headed to my Dad's office to surprise him! We met my sister and her boys there! I think 'Grandpa Pat' was excited to see us!
Gina had to explain that the card and present were for him, because you know it's your birthday. And yes my adorable nephew is sporting a mohawk. It was taller the day before, my sister trimmed it a bit. He totally asked for one... to cute!
Adler spent the entire time being held by Peggy (my step mom). He seems to enjoy her and she Loves holding babies :) It's a win win situation. I can't believe how far I have fallen behind in posting. It seems like the time from St. Patrick's day to now is a total blur! We celebrated this day, then jumped right into Easter preparations, then we loaded up and went to the lakehouse to get it ready for the Summer! (YEAH) I can't wait for the summer! I will post Easter later today or tomorrow! We played lots of games with the adults and some of them got physical LOL!

I can't wait for the warm weather! This was last spring! Aren't Bounce Houses the most fun ever?

Last year's Easter outfit

Okay I have no real inspiration for this year's outfit, by the way I am a BIG Procrastinator! Last year I had the whole Peep inspiration, my daughter loves marshmallows! This year I need to consider a coordinating outfit for little Adler. Any suggestions would be more than welcomed! I thought about making a cute little tie onesie like http://theskyispink.blogspot.com/ Lera does. They are too cute!

You cant' really see my skirt in this photo, but I made my own pattern with ruffles out of Amy Butler fabric to coordinate with Gina. Her skirt was made out of Michael Miller disco dots (I love this), and a pattern made by me. I think I will attempt making a tutorial for this skirt next week, I may have to wait until after Easter. I am hosting the Family at our house, yet another thing I a procrastinating about! Oh well I am sure it will come off beautifully, things always have a way of working out :)

Quilt Drawing

http://oldredbarnco.blogspot.com/2008/03/giving-away-quilt.html Is having a drawing for an adorable quilt! Just go on over to the blog and post a comment. It's that simple!

I hate blog entries without photos, so I thought this grumpy face of Adler's tummy time was perfect!

Leap Day

I am a little behind in posting :(

For Leap Day we went to the ZOO. They had an amphibian exhibit and if kids dressed as frogs, frog princes, or princesses they got in free. Well you don't have to twist our kids arms to dress up. They quickly picked out things to wear and we loaded up for the zoo. Needless to say we never made it to the frog exhibit. We had to visit every one's favorite animals and then rode the train all around the zoo. It really was a good day (I hate the zoo ... too stinky).

Gina's Old Bedroom

It has been a few days since I posted last. We have been so busy at our house! Gina moved out of her old bedroom to a new one. These are pictures of her old room. I couldn't bear to paint over the walls. My mom painted them originally. We moved her bedroom to the back of the house so she could be closer to her new brother. Her old room became the new playroom. She wanted a purple bedroom. The new room involes polka dots, but really isn't finished yet! Pictures to come soon of the new room.
