looking forward to an egg hunt and Ezra performing a few songs at church on Sunday. The kids are always SO stinkin' cute.. ok.. MY kid is always so stinkin' cute. Cuz we all know everyone is really just staring at their own children... right?! (or is it just me??) Happy Good Friday to you all and THANK  YOU Jesus for your sacrifice! 

Ezra loves projects.

We just finished tasting our Rice Krispie bird nests. YUM. We were planning on adding peeps.. but I think they have plenty of sugar in them already. 

Here is the finished products. 

 He told me how CUTE our nests were, and asked where the Mama's and Daddy's were. 

Here is he is giving them a sprinkle of grass. He is such a softy.. 

but he's secure in his manhood.. just ask joker. ;) He is all boy!

   

I love this sweet look of concentration. 

He asked "Could we bring these treats to Heaven.. because what if David wants one? Or God.. or the kids." Sigh. What a sweet heart. 

In this picture he is telling me he is the GREEEEEN MONSTER!!!! 

(See. What did I tell you about him being all boy?!)

This was quick and easy and lots of fun. The only glitch..?

An entire bag of jelly beans spilled all over the floor. Thanks Tony! Apparently someone snuck a few without me knowing... when I quickly pulled the bag out of the cupboard.... we had ourselves a little mess. Luckily I bought 2 bags. :) 

Bullets with some bonus pictures..

Easter Bunny 2011

The picture speaks for itself. Poor Kingsley.. (not to mentioned he was called a girl because of his pink shirt.) Hello.. it's his "K" BioMe5 shirt peeps.. pink is awesome get with the program!!

 Anyway, Ezra LOVES dressed up characters.. Santa, Bunny, Chuck E. Cheese etc. but he isn't a really adventurous kid.. he is still not that into slides. We have a feeling Kingsley will be just the opposite. He has been crying in every 'posed' picture he has ever had with Santa and the Bunny. What a mean Mom I am. Hehehee...

He was pretty unhappy about his 'wings'. .

 so yesterday Kingsley had his first hair cut. 

My Mom and I were cracking up over the 6 strands of hair I was able to collect for his baby book. ;) 

With Ezra's 1st cut (at the same age) we could have filled 20 baggies. I love you Kingsley.. and what a BIG BOY you look like after your hair cut!!

Bundled boys getting bounced on the trampoline.

A post about green stuff.

I wish

money grew on trees. 

I've been pretty frugal this past week. I've stayed in pj's all week- think about the money I've saved on laundry! Plus i haven't worn make up in at least 5 days- more savings on future make up purchases! And to top 'er off.. we haven't left the house- savings there on gas, my friend! Ok..ok..The truth is I wasn't planning to be frugal, I was actually sick the past week or so. Feeling much better tonight  super guilty that there wasn't anything in the house to eat, I ventured out to the dreaded store. Err.. The grocery store. I've been couponing. It is lots of work. Up until tonight it hadn't really paid off. But tonight I'm very excited because I saved 40% on my bill and went about $13 under budget. (This is huge for me since I had consistently been going about $20 OVER the weekly budget.) I went to Walgreens but did most of my shopping at Publix. It's amazing the deals you can find when matching a sale with a store and manufacturer's coupon! If I can find the time I can really see this turning into a great way to save my family a good chunk of money. Oh.. and becoming a crazy addiction.

And in the spirit of April Fools Day.. Hehehe.. I played a nasty little trick on my family last night.

 In their pulled bbq chicken sandwiches... I hid pureed peas and lima beans! Shhh... Tony still doesn't know!! Ezra loved veggies until just recently, but at least he's at an age where we can reason with him. Kingsley is just not a huge fan. Does anyone else find themselves being sneaky with their kids in order for them to eat healthy?!

Have a wonderful day and I hope you find yourself brainstorming awesome pranks to pull on your loved ones tomorrow! I'll have to come up with some new material.. I think I've pulled the pregnancy or broken limb one to many times. ;)
