Easter & Spring Break

We had a wonderful Easter and a much needed Spring Break this last week.  

Easter started with an egg hunt at Grandma L's.  That's me and Sam in the background hunting for eggs.  Some of our cousins were there too.

 Here we are visiting with Grandma L.

We made a stop over at the cemetery to visit Grandpa L.  His headstone has finally been put in, thanks to the warm winter we've had.  It turned out great!

Then we spent some time coloring Easter eggs.  This is one of our most favorite holiday traditions.

Then on Easter morning we patiently waited for mom and dad to wake up and then couldn't wait to see our Easter baskets.  The bunny was good to us this year - books, a few little toys, lots of candy, and some certificates for iPad time.

We loved eating the hard boiled eggs too!

Then came a whole wonderful week off from school.  Mom had a work trip so it was just the boys . . . and our "boy business"!  Sam and I voted to have a bunch of pajama days just playing around the house - that was a lot of fun!

We did venture out one day and helped Grandma L. with some yard work.

We ventured out another day and started with a yummy breakfast out.

Then we hit the bowling alley.  I'm bowling completely without the ramp now, but Sam won the game (with the ramp).  

And we ended the day with a stop for mini golf.  

On Saturday, it was our much anticipated first day of FOOTBALL!  Sam and I are both playing flag football this spring.  Sam is a Giant and I am a Patriot (not the cheating Patriots, just the local home Patriots team!).  

We had our first practice and mom caught a couple of action pictures of me doing some drills.

Here I am practicing at quarterback.  Look at that throw!

Sam had a short practice - his team will do more running than throwing and he can't wait for our first games next week.

Finally, we picked up a Ladder Ball game and we have had so much fun with it!  We play it all the time.

Dad and Sam have beat me and mom twice now.  I think it might be time to mix up the teams a little bit!

Sam Alert:  Hey everyone - Sam here.  I'm still loving the Uno games.  We play as much as I can talk my family into playing.  Good times!

Over and out - have a great week!
