We all headed to my mom and dad's for the Easter celebration. The kids had a spectacular time running around and playing with the Aunties and Uncles, Granparentals, and Cousin Sarah. Scarlet had her standard two costume changes and way too many presents for Easter. (I recall only getting a handful of crappy jellybeans in my day). She also completely got into the Easter egg hunt ordeal and managed to orchestrate subsequent hunts after she found all the initial eggs, baskets, etc. (I never thought to do that as a kid--good call, Swiss Miss. She was in it for the chase, after all...) Liam was precious walking from room to room in his seer sucker outfit pointing at the "doogggie" who followed him around the whole day licking snacks right out of his chubby hands.
A fun, relaxing family day with a fantastic home-cooked meal.
Worst Part of the Day-
For some reason Will-O and I are developmentally challenged in leaving the house with the kids when we need to be somewhere at a specific time. I often feel he is in another part of the house when I need him to load bags into the car. He feels I am nagging and bossy throughout the entire process. The thing is there truly is a bunch of baby stuff that needs to be prepped and brought. We also needed to bring the makings for our dessert for the gathering. And Easter cards/gifts. Special non-dairy milk, snow boots for Scarlet, etc. Alas, it is a lot. It just seems no matter how organized I THINK we are...we are not. We have stress when we leave the house with the kids.

We are the same way in leaving the home. In fact, while Erik took a 30 minute shower (ahem), I dressed both boyz, packed the bags and gathered all gifts. I just kept picturing myself in the car and on the road - it's a LOT.
