We made it to Friday of vacation week! It's definitely been a full week! We've been to the zoo, out for ice cream, a birthday party for Ellie with her friends, a disastrous daily Mass bc of Peter and Kate, surviving a rainy day, candy bar bingo, book club, and an unfortunate migraine yesterday afternoon.:( Thankfully, it wasn't as bad as last time! Tonight, Jay and I get to be grown-ups and go to the fundraising gala for Ellie and Luke's school. I get to dress up and everything!
I'm linking up with Jen for Quick Takes Friday! I'm going to share some really cute shots I got from our Easter preparation on Holy Saturday:)
1. Baking
We made lots of
special desserts for Easter. In these pics the girls are making sugar cookies:)
2. Outdoor Prep
Jay surprised me by ordering mulch after he and Jon raked out the front yard. Luke was really eager to help and was able to maneuver a little wheelbarrow with a little mulch to do it just like the big boys!

| Luke worked hard! I love that I caught Jay drinking coffee in this pic and..... |
 |
| in this pic! Makes it look like Luke is doing all the work!lol |

| Back for more! |
 |
| Just so you don't think that child labor was involved! Dad worked super hard, too! |
3-7. Coloring Easter Eggs
It's our family's tradition to color Easter eggs the day before Easter every year. Even the big kids still enjoy getting in the fun!
 |
| Jon and Luke(who was super excited!) |
 |
| Mike and Jay...with the same grin. There's no doubt they are father/son! |
 |
| High five for egg success between Kate and Andrew! |
 |
| Peter, who had been talking about coloring eggs for days, got in on the fun! |
 |
| Sarah and Kate |
 |
| Ellie:) |
At one point in the egg decorating Luke became a super spaz! I think it was a combination of his excitement over coloring eggs and a little sugar rush from the ice cream he had for dessert. Luckily, I got the evidence on camera...these shots will be really fun to show him when he is a teenager!

What a goober!:)

I hope that your house has gotten over the sugar rush from Easter candy! Have a great weekend:)
