Easter - the pre game warm up

Some of the fine ladies from the Serene Ward got together this super stinkin' windy Tuesday for an Easter Egg Hunt and it was a hit. We loved every minute of it. Forget the fact that it was so windy i missed seeing most of it because of my huge hair blowing in my huge face. arghhhh.

So, we started off the festivities with a little swing you know, to warm up the muscles - oh wait, those are fat rolls. Either way the chunk went for a swing.



he loved it.

As we were cueing up for the hunt i gave Sarah a pep talk and it went a little something like this...

Me: ok, Sar, your mission is to fill your basket with eggs.
Push, shove, maim if you have to but get those eggs.
Ok Sar, you got it?

Sarah: Dot it Mamma

Other Mom's watching: thinking ummm, is this chick serious?
Turning their children in the direction opposite mine.

Me: I'm totally kidding - ha ha ha. Turning back to Sarah, not kidding - Get The Eggs!

This is OK parenting right because Jimbo sure thought it was funny.

This is the face of a little girl who i think took my pep-talk a
little too serious - would you mess with her?

Innocent little angel face - unless you take her eggs of course!


Half way through the hunt things got a little exciting and Sarah tripped
over her own big feet. Oh, it was funny and adorable watching her gather her
eggs midst the gale force winds that hit the park that day.


A goofy Easter Bunny-esque grin

Inspecting the collection - we got some good treats!

This is the dude before church Sunday.* I am feeling a little ripped off about Easter being on Conference weekend. Does this mean no beautiful Easter dress for Sarah because we certainly
won't get dressed up just to sit on our couch and can't justify buying anything for the universally unceremonious Sunday after Easter. Ripped off I tell you, ripped off.**

* Sorry I cut ur head off Jimbo - for the record, you looked cute too!
** I love General Conference and I love sitting on my couch so really I guess this is a win, win
