Early Easter

We put on our Easter clothes a week early since it was the boys first day of going to all 3 hours of church (and it was our first time being late with the boys, so we took the walk of shame, because the bench we require is the VERY FRONT one where we can fit us all. Oh well, it was destined to happen eventually). But I must admit, the boys (and girls actually) were angels today! Mark took Creighton with him to teach Sunday School (with Stake visitors no less), and I took Paxton and Weston in a double stroller with me. We skipped Sunday School so I could try to walk/rock them to sleep and then we went to Relief Society. In order to actually fit into the room we had to open the double door, and Jen Brewer had to help me remove chairs so we had a spot big enough for the stroller to park. However, the boys were wonderful (despite not sleeping any more) and sat in their stroller the entire time with limited help from me! Mark reported that Creighton was held for only a little during Sunday School and then he too sat in his stroller the rest of the time! It was a good first experience, despite feeling a little awkward maneuvering it all as mom.

After a lot of smiley shots it was time to break it up with something silly.

This last week I also took on the crazy task of making new Easter baskets for the kids. The girls needed this little mom activity, so it was a good pay off to watch them have so much fun putting the buckets together. They turned out great, and despite being a little larger then we wanted, that ended up being a positive when the boys could fit inside them!

 And a few weeks ago we (just a day before the RSV set in) we went to Disney on Ice. It was fabulous fun. It featured Cinderella, Tiana, and Rapunzel. All done very well, but Rapunzel's amazing hair was a favorite part. They did dancing in it like ribbon dancing from the ceiling!
