It looks like summer is here!

It's spring break and the kids were dying to swim!

Looks like it's time to jump on in! 80 degrees and sunny today seemed to be the perfect day!

The babies got some new floats but ummmm look who thinks she belongs in it! She and Tripp fit just perfectly in them - a little snug but super fun for them none the less. 

Tyler had not even hit the water yet but he was SO excited! This is his nature in general. He is always up for the challenge, something new, and anything daring!

The both enjoyed the water! Tyler of course LOVED it and did not want to get out at all. Thomas he LIKED it. He was ready to get out in about 15 minutes. 

And guess which one it wore flat out? ...

 

Yup! Tyler! Looks like it was time to lower the hat and try for a snooze!

A most happy and Blessed Easter to all!

Everyone was ready to start a very special day! A day of new life and joy!

That evening before Easter we designed with Tessa's help some rabbits to make for our friends! We had never made these before so the children were quite excited!

We did not lack for help...

The babies were very curious and wanted to know exactly what these were!

They were ready for delivery! The three of us had so much fun surprising our friends with some homemade goodies!

Juliette and Tripp anxiously rang door bells in anticipation of their friends coming to the door!

And another beautiful lamb was made this year! Her name was "Lamby" named by Juliette. Tripp named her "Patrick. as he insisted the lamb was a boy despite the pretty pink ribbon!

We dyed our eggs! I must say we keep it simple. It is a simple newspaper covering, box of Paas and a dip in all of the little cups.

The kids were super excited - no pinterest presentation but perfect for us!

The bunny was ready and filled all of the little baskets!

Let's see who can find their basket first!

T'was the day before Easter

And now we were just about prepared for Easter. We had met the bunny three times now and these little people were getting QUITE excited!

I took Juliette and Tripp to Gwynn's Department store to hold the bunnies that they bring in each Easter season. All the bunnies had been adopted. Juliette begged and pleaded to adopt this bunny. Luckily he was spoken for. I assured her that Buckwheat would be sad if she got another bunny. 

Then she got to hold one of the bunnies at the club celebration. Juliette really has a soft spot for rabbits!

But nothing has her heart quite like Buckwheat himself!

Tripp, he's so wild I am not sure he has a soft spot for anything! He is such a boy! I had to reminder him to pet gently....

  

Happy Easter from all of the Stovall children! Happy hunting and may you find many eggs.

Daniel Island Easter egg hunt

We were brave indeed! Ms. Adi, Tessa and me braved the hunt with all four children! It was SO much fun and the weather could not have been any more beautiful. 

We were all so happy to be out and about and once again getting ready for the Easter season.

Did the babies like the bunnies? Tyler was not a big fan but Thomas was quiet interested in him! We was super into touching his whiskers and nose. 

Juliette was awesome with the babies as always! She helped them find some eggs in the baby hunt and showed them how to pile them in the basket. 

Looking for the Easter bunny at school

Tripp was so excited to get to school this morning for his special Easter production and egg hunt! We were greeted at the stage with some beautiful artwork representing Easter that the children had made. 

The children were so excited to process in for the production!

They sang songs... this time unlike the Christmas show Tripp actually participated and danced and sang. He did not try to hide his face behind his hands. 

He was just about ready for the Easter egg hunt. As like last year, he is not nearly as concerned with quantity as he is with checking out what is in the one egg that he finds. The hunt was about over and Tripp had two eggs. He was perfectly happy. All of his were waiting for him as each child picked 10 eggs. 

After the hunt look who arrived??!

Tripp was eager to go and see him again this year. He was ready to jump right into his arms. 

Yes and the bunny requested a picture with Mommy and Tessa as well. 

  

What a special day for all of the children!

I love Spring and I love the Easter season with all the signs of new life around!
