Let's get Eggy

Thursday Ellison had her Easter party at school.  Unfortunately, she wasn't feeling 100%.  She had the beginnings of a cold and was a little weepy and whiny.  She waited for the party to start with her head on the table.  Those that have ever been around Ellison know this is not her.  She did manage a half smile, but I think that was more to get me to leave her alone than a reflection of her mood at that time.  Somehow they ended up with an abundance of eggs and each kid brought home a good 20-24 eggs.

There's a BIG girl moving in

We are getting ready to transition Ellison to a big girl bed.  Yes, I know she is 3 1/2 many others transition much sooner, but here's the thing if they aren't trying to climb out, WHY MOVE THEM?  Ecspeically when they are well.....Ellison.  Hadley has already warned me that if Els shows up in her bed she isn't going to be happy.  I'm thinking go ahead and prepare to be unhappy chick, Red is a snuggle bug.  So the color scheme in the room is going to stay the same.  My Mom has made Els her own coordinating quilt.  The baby bed and changing table will move on.  The wall color will become a lime sherbert color and I have a dresser painted hot pink to put between their beds.  I'll share the finished room over Spring Break, but wanted to snap a few before pictures too.

A hunting we will go

What do you do when it's raining inside and a bunch of little ones are suppose to hunt Easter Eggs?  Create an obstacle course and let the kids run crazy inside I suppose.  It's not the first time they have had to use this technique at Church.

Let's discover and party

Lillian's having a party.  Are we going to Lillian's party?  It's Lillian's birthday.  I can't wait for Lillian's birthday.  To say she was excited would be an understatement.  These are just a few of the 20 some odd phrases I heard during the course of the week.  Her party was at the Creative Discovery Museum, which we absolutely love.

I love this picture.  You may be thinking, it's Ellison from behind carrying something??  What's so special about that?  Well Ellison and her personality, that's what.  You see, chick saw something that really interested her.  Without hesitating or asking for help, she runs over grabs a stool and takes off to the "spot".  This one is a problem solver.  Once she got to her spot, she was in heaven.

Crazy sister in the shower, yep, she is W.E.I.R.D.

She discovered the spot, later....

Yep, still weird, just in a different spot this time.

Never met a camera she didn't like.

She got over the sand pit pretty quick when a little dude aka brat without a parent in sight, walked over and dumped a whole shovel full of sand on her head completely on purpose.  I refrained from dumping one on his head, but I really wanted to.  Yep, this mama is still bitter.  It didn't hurt my feelings any when she declared she had to go to the bathroom.

Ellison, give me a pose....wow I haven't seen that one before!

A beautiful evening in the country

We were invited to a cookout in the country.  The weather was perfect, the girls had a blast running around outside.  Hadley had a friend stay the night and all three girls slept well that night.
