Happy Easter!

Having a girl to dress for Easter is much more fun than dressing boys. Just a side note.

 I think Hudson's getting the hang of this posing thing!

The Easter Bunny hid Oliver's basket in the dryer for the third year in a row apparently. Come on, Bunny...can't you remember from one year to the next, or be more creative?

All Penelope cared about was that she got two fresh binks in her basket. She ripped them out of the package and ran away from everyone to snuggle on this pillow and suck them in peace.

And now for some random pictures from the rest of the month:

I caught her trying to sneak my phone, and then snapped this picture of her looking guilty. It cracks me up every time I look at that face!

This one's pretty special too. 

Olf likes to wear goggles in the tub so he can see under water and Pip needed some too.

This is Hud's face of choice lately.

Has anyone noticed this or is it just me? I was walking down the aisle at the grocery store and stopped dead in my tracks.The Quaker has had some work done!!!
Here is the before

And here is the after!
Check out how they've thinned out his face and given him more of a defined chin. He's lost 15 lbs and 20 years! He's gone from pudgy to dare I say a little handsome? For some reason every morning when I'm making my breakfast I swear I see Christopher Plummer (link!) in him somewhere. Eyes? Lips? I can't quite pinpoint it.
Quaker oats, Quaker oats, every morning you greeeeet meeeee...
Hahahahahaha!

St. Patrick's Day! The leprechaun paid us a visit. There was a long scavenger hunt with literally a "pot" of gold at the end. Hud looks like King Keebler himself in this picture.

Pip's got those cheeks stuffed full of chocolate

We had green pancakes for dinner with a rainbow fruit tray. The kids were thrilled!

 

Penelope traipses around in Hudson's boots most days.

 

Over Spring break, all the kids wanted to do was make cookies and eat them in the family room with glasses of milk like in one of their favorite books. I made their wildest dreams come true with browned butter snickerdoodles. Yum.

Happy Spring!
