Its Tea Time

The kids were playing nicely with each other last Sunday which was nice that doesn't usually happen.  Then all of sudden they call "Mom!...Mommy!"  So I went to check on them they had arranged their folding table in Katy's room and set it up for a tea party.

They wanted me to Join so of course I excepted.  Katy and Zechariah both poured out pretend tea and passed out pretend pastries.





We had a sweet little time that I will cherish forever.

Riding On The Subway

Today the kids and I took a trip into center city via the broad street subway line.  We had lots of fun and it went a lot smoother than I thought it would.

Check out the pictures of our ride below:

Waiting for the train to arrive.

Katy loved watching everything move by fast.

Zechariah riding on the train.  Hold on tight!

Family Easter Celebration

On the Saturday before Easter we slept in. Only till 8am but it was still very nice. I prepped the kids Easter baskets and easal while Josh snuggled with them some more upstairs. This year instead of getting them tons of candy that they don't need or really eat I spent the money on an easel from IKEA. After we ate breakfast and played with the easal a bit we dressed and got ready for a local egg hunt. When we arrived at the egg hunt it was already over. One of the ladies from the park told us that when they were getting the small kids together the older kids stormed the field and got all the eggs. This was very disappointing to my kids especially Zechariah. We walked through the petting zoo but Zechariah was terrified by most of the animals so Katy and Josh enjoyed them for a bit. After we left we went to a local pizza place for lunch. We had Hawaiian pizza, Yum! For the rest of the day we prepped for Easter and were lazy.

He is Risen!

This Easter Josh was serving at St. Johns Lutheran Church in Springfield IL. We had a very yummy breakfast with everyone during there Easter Brunch and it was followed by a wonderful Easter Morning service and sermon. After the service we headed to the organist's house for Easter dinner and a spring egg hunt.

The kids loved it the hunted for eggs and played on a tree swing. Zechariah kicked around a ball and Katy played fetch with a dog which she loved
