A Spring Care Package!

Yesterday when we got back from the soccer games, we saw something bright sitting on our doorstep. On closer examination, we determined that it was a sealed easter basket that had been dropped off from the mailperson. It was sent from Grandma Cindi. When we opened it, we found several snap-together Easter eggs with goodies in them, but they weren't your typical Easter eggs, they were in the shape of sea critters! I've never seen anything like it before! They were the cutest things ever...little sharks, blowfish, starfish and clownfish. There was also a little container of bubbles for each child. The kids had a lot of fun with them, and we're definitely saving the eggs to re-use on Easter and probably for many years to come! Thanks Grandma!


The Easter basket with sea creature eggs!


Everyone holding their favorite egg: Jesikah loved the starfish, Tessa liked the yellow blowfish, Alex liked the sharks, and Jarem couldn't decide between the Nemo and the other blowfish

Catching the bubbles after blowing them.

Jarem was so proud of himself for blowing his first bubble...look closely and you'll see it!

Eric joining in the fun

Tessa is thrilled with the many bubbles she made that are all hooked together. They blew bubbles off and on most of the afternoon. Later the kids and Eric went out and played soccer in the front yard while I planted a few new plants. The spring weather is SO enjoyable. We're trying to soak up some nice weather before the hot, humid summer hits.

Easter presents already?? Don't remind me...I haven't even started. Those "sea animal" eggs are very cool. But where are the pictures of the plants you got??? You knew I couldn't let you sneak that past me........ha ha ha.
