10 on Tuesday

Wow, Tuesday again, huh?  This might contain minimal words, but there sure are a lot of pics.  

1.  Well, let's see.  The day before Easter we dyed Easter eggs.  We decided to let the kids have a free for all.  I think more dye was on their hands than on the eggs.  But they sure had a blast.  Little J was throwing the eggs in the cups by the end and Miss C decided each one needed a "bath" in the yellow dye.  So it was a hodge podge of brownish broken easter eggs :)

2.  Easter morning was a blast.  The Easter Bunny was good to these kids.  Little J could have cared less about the amount of presents.  He found his plastic egg with jelly beans and was done.  He got smart, we put goldfish and pretzels in the eggs.  When he would come across one of those, he tossed it aside.  I guess it wasn't good enough :)
3.  Miss C was more amused by the amount of presents.  She quickly tore through all the bags

She was even excited to get raisins

But the best of all was the mini M&M's in the candy figurine.  She saw those in the store and just had to have them.  Funny that she hasn't even asked to open them yet.  I took all the stuff away after easter and hid it.  I guess she forgot how badly she wanted them :)

4.  Afterwards we got dressed and headed to Mee Maw and Goompa's house.  Mee Maw and Goompa had brand new fishing poles for them.  After that we had another Easter egg hunt.  Miss C was the one that spotted the eggs outside.  I had to lock them in the house to prevent them from grabbing everything before I could snap a pic

That little gem should count as my 52 weeks pic since that's me in the reflection.

Sitting down enjoying the spoils.  Someone (cough, cough) allowed them to plow through as much of it as they wanted because he, I mean someone, didn't want to have to listen to the whining when they were told "that's enough".  Needless to say, we had a major sugar crash before lunch.

5.  Just a cute pic of Miss C that I snapped.  I'm not sure what she was laughing at

6.  So I bought these parasols at hobby lobby the other day.  $4.79 for each of them.  What a steal.  I bought 5 different colors and I can't wait to break out the rest of them.  I took Miss C and Little J to a local garden the other day to give them a whirl.

Miss C has adopted the silliest "cheese" face when posing for the camera.  I try to tell her to relax and smile "naturally" but this is what I get.

I guess I should be thankful I even get eye contact!

Little J wanted to join the fun.  Being only $4.79, these things are pretty flimsy.  Little J (in true boy fashion) was trying his hardest to break them.

We were doing pretty well with the parasols until the kids found a water fountain.  Then it was all over.  At least they had a good time.

I pretty much had to promise the sun and the moon to get this.  Again the cheese face and the other one with food in his mouth.

7.  Since we had a nice weekend, we headed to a local park for some playground time and a little picnic.  Little J had fun running around and kicking the soccer ball we brought.

8.  There was this cute little path there through the woods.  Miss C wanted to go and look for deer.  I took the opportunity to take some snaps as usual.

I think this is my new all time favorite pic.  She's so silly :)
9.  I know I could get to 10, but that is all the pics I have proofed.  So here's my 52 weeker.  I look like crap-ola, so excuse that.  Holy bloat and bad angle :)
