Easter Weekend

This year was quiet and calm — and I didn't mind one bit. My dad came down on Saturday evening and spent the night with us. The kids had a great time with their grandpa, but I'll never be able to figure it out...when my dad is around Amelia suddenly turns rotten. She was misbehaving most of the time he was here, and, I swear, the second he left she went back to being the awesome little girl she's become. I'm not sure what to make of it!

We started the weekend by heading to an Easter egg hunt at Schiller Park in German Village. It was more like "pick the candy up off the grass" instead of a hunt. Oh well. She enjoyed it.


It was so gorgeous out and the kids were cooperating I attempted a little photoshoot of my own.





Grandpa got to take Oliver on his first wagon ride.

Oliver's other favorite pastime. This is HIS cupboard — he's allowed to do what he will with it. It used to be Amelia's but now she just helps me put away his mess!
