Happy Easter ~ 2015!

Here’s hoping you all had a very HAPPY EASTER this year!

We had a blast talking with our Littles about the meaning of Easter – the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ – and celebrating these awesome events with a joyful Easter service at church, a fun Wright family party, and 5 different Easter Egg hunts!

(The latter of which resulting in the kids scoring ridiculous amounts of sugary booty…booty that keeps mysteriously ending up in their parents’ bellies. I’m not sure how it happens, but I do know we’ll pay for it later.)

These photos are from our Easter Egg hunt at home.  My Little Planners kicked things off by drawing maps for their hunt (giving time for a certain Tall Red Haired Easter Bunny to hide some eggs).

The Little Sir may not have gotten in on any of the candy action, but he still had fun.

And he was just as smooch-able as ever.

When it was all said and done (err…hunted and gathered?),
Mike and I attempted to wrangle the Littles for a heart-warming Easter photo…

With limited success…

Emphasis on the limited part…

Oh well.  That’s us…messy hair, chocolate faces and all.

HAPPY EASTER!

A Day for Daddy at Preschool

The Big (Little) Kids got to bring Daddy to preschool today for a very special Father’s Day celebration.

M1

They were SO EXCITED.  I’m pretty sure the Little Mister didn’t sleep a wink the night before…Which would explain all of the SASS he gave his poor Mama the rest of the day.  Though the child is 2 1/2 years old, so sass seems to come with the (exasperating, maddening) territory.

Armed with their favorite Red Head, oodles of sugary donuts, and a room full of adrenaline-crazed preschool buddies, the Little Mister and Little Miss had a blast.

I’ll let the photos they sent me speak for themselves…

And Daddy scored big-time.  He deserved it…we love him so.

Happy (early) Father’s Day to the best Daddy in the whole wide world!

End note: In case you were wondering, the kids’ (devoted, hard working, saint-like even) Mama did not spend the morning eating donuts and receiving presents.  In an interesting twist of fate, this Mama found herself in the dentist’s chair having my teeth cleaned and listening to Kenny G’s greatest hits (as if there are any?!?).  Dreary though that may sound, I did take some solace in learning that while Daddy is the ripe old age of “15,” I am still “just 14 years old.”  So says the Little Miss.  That and a box of chocolates will get me…well…another trip to the dentist.  And some (youthful) bragging rights.
