Easter 2008

Well, it ended being a really productive weekend for us. We got our basement painted which we have been wanting to do for a LONG time. It looks so much better. Now I can't wait to tear out the old carpet and lay some new laminate down there and put some new baseboards and trim up. It already looks like a completely different room.

On Sunday we had a little Easter egg hunt for the boys outside. I snuck outside and just placed some big plastic eggs around in the grass and then we opened the curtains to the back yard and the boys got so excited to see the eggs! I'm sure they had no idea what was going on but they were excited nonetheless. It was sunny but still pretty chilly out there. The boys had fun just running around with no boundaries. It was hard when the time came to go back inside. They were NOT pleased with mommy and daddy :)
So once we came inside we gave the boys their Easter baskets. We didn't put much in them. Just a couple match box cars each and a book for each of them. We also got them a box of crayons and a battery operated bubble blower. They can't use that themselves yet but they had fun going after the bubbles outside. No, we didn't give them any chocolate. We have a hard enough time trying to get them to eat anything these days and didn't figure they needed that at the moment. But we are not mean parents...they do get sweets sometimes. Also, Josh and I probably would have ended up eating most of it anyways and we didn't feel we needed that.

Later on I cooked some dinner. Made an Italian Meatloaf (a new recipe) and it was really yummy. It had carrots and celery and onion all ground up with the turkey meat and bread crumbs.

Alright, here's the pictures...
