Overflowing Baskets

 My heart basket is not just full but is overflowing with love for these kids.

I'm sure their baskets are overflowing from the love and thoughtfulness of others. Thank you, brave Easter Bunny!

And in no time Hendrix's basket is beginning to overflow too.

Update: Literally.

A Somewhat Domesticated Spring Break

Zane learned to blow up balloons on his own. 

So we mached them. 

And painted them.

And glittered them.

 And displayed them as Easter Eggs.

 We made cupcakes.

 We threw painted filled egg shells at a canvas.

We tissue papered hard boiled eggs and dyed them in a marbling fashion.

 And we were sure to reflect on the true meaning.

When Eyes Are Smiling

It's like a morn in spring. And I hear the angels sing. Yes, they stole my heart away.

Read Aloud

Zane's storytelling is quite inventive. Many of them include dramatic scenes that involve death and injury. He's such a boy.

Vanessa sticks to the written text but feels the need to question all of Pooh's talk.

Hendrix is like Whatever...

Blowout

It's important that each of our kids has their picture taken in the "Poop on Michigan" onesie. Here's Zane's: Zane Wearing Poop on Michigan Onesie. And Vanessa wore it in the hospital for her newborn pics at Riverside. The onesie needs to be framed and placed in the Buckeye hallway of our house. And is it coincidental that Hendrix ALSO had his first official, full-fledged blowout the day of wearing this? I think not. ;-)

I think Hendrix is tired of playing along with Mommy. :-)
