Happy Easter!

We were planning on staying home for Easter this year since we just got back from vacation, but I guess other plans had to be made! Saturday morning we were invited to one of Lauren's friend's house for a brunch and egg hunt. It was so much fun to socialize and the kids had a blast. Some friends that used to live here were visiting, so we got to catch up with them. They ended up spending the afternoon with us, which was great fun!Dylan had his first soccer game Saturday at 2:15. Ethan decided to make us late by playing in the bathroom. Let's just leave it at that. The other teams were running late, so we ended up being there before the game started. Dylan did great and we had a blast watching them play. The kids are still learning, so they kick the ball any way they can, or they play in the goalie box. Some of them ran next to the ball, but never kicked it. Too cute! I think we are going to enjoy watching the games this season!After the game, we decided to clean out the van. I needed the sixth seat in there to pick up kids from kindergarten. I started babysitting this week for 2 families, 2 kids each. One family is a kindergartener and 1st grader before and after school (7-8:30 and 12-5 for one and 4-5 for the other) and the other family is a 2 year old, Jack, and his baby sister, 2 months old. Yesterday was my first day with all of them, and it went really well. The baby slept for over 3 hours! I will say it is very different having 6 children in my car!

Once the van was all ready for the week, Dylan and Lauren colored Easter eggs. They had a great time and... Ethan could have cared less. Fun times!
Sunday morning, we had a little egg hunt with baskets at home with some boiled eggs and blueberry donuts. We then headed to my parent's house for some Easter fun with the grandparents and cousins. My mom made some biscuits and gravy for brunch, which was very yummy. After all the fun, we headed over to Zionsville for church with Kris and Joanna's family. They blessed baby Colin, so we were happy to spend some time with them. The kids also enjoyed spending time with the other grandparents and cousins, too! After church, we went back to my parent's house for dinner. It wouldn't be Easter without ham and potatoes! My sister and family left, and Ricky wanted to play Settlers, so we stayed until after 9! Ethan fell asleep watching a movie, but the other 2 were wide awake. Busy weekend, but so much fun!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!
Ethan was trying so hard to get the plastic eggs from Ricky. It was so cute and hilarious! We had a great time laughing as Ethan would get one egg and run as fast as he could away from Ricky!
Of course, I forgot my camera, so I am waiting on others to get family pictures to us!
On a side note, Dylan woke up sick this morning. This was his first sick day from school this year! He is doing fine, now, but a long morning for the rest of us!
