Easter and way too much candy!

Easter this year was not too bad. We had a pretty active day with going to the park, cleaning in the garage, egg hunt and supper. This year it was just the four of us, which is a little bit different then last year when we were at my parent's place. For supper we had ham, sweet potatoes (which I had never made before but man are good) and manicotti. Interesting menu to say the least, but it all turned out really well. No pictures of the food though!

Here are the Mastaler Easter Eggs this year. We sure like blue. Brad says that they always turn out that color no matter what you do. I think if we just stuck to one color instead of mixing we might have different results. But what fun would that be?!


First thing right in the morning. Lexie had just opened her eyes. How did that Easter bunny get into her room to put eggs on the book shelf?

Eggs in the "Car" slippers put into the creepy Diego head Easter basket. Sorry Mom but that thing is just weird.

Lots and lots of candy. Easter bunny may have went a little bit overboard with the mini eggs. The whole Diego head was full.

Tricky Easter Bunny put those eggs everywhere!

Harper with her Easter gift.

Daddy being silly.

Me and my girls. Still in our pj's.



Hope everyone's Easter was really great and that you got to spend quality time with loved ones.

Spring, finally Spring!

I am so thankful that it is Spring. I don't know if I could have managed anymore snow right now. The only bad thing is that the whole family has a spring cold and Harper has it the worse. Poor little baby, she's also teething right now too. So double suck!
Well with Spring gladly on it's way, I turn to looking around my house and to Spring cleaning. I don't know how many people actually do this but it's something that I really want to do and wished that I had enough time to do it properly. I wonder if I made a list (scary!) and tried to tackle something every day, would it get done? It might be next Spring before I actually get it done!
And on another note: Alexa is being so sassy the last couple of weeks. She's making me crazy. She was so good there for awhile and then bam! she's having fits and not listening and talking back, etc, etc. Alexa seems to develop in this sort of way though. She's really good and then really troublesome and then back to being good. Brad always says that it is her brain changing. To get to the next stage it's almost like she has to regress for a time. Boy, can it be frustrating!
Need to start making lunch. I can feel the grumbles coming on.
