The Last Week in Pictures

I know this is a bit late but... better late than never.

We had 3 separate egg hunts on Easter afternoon -- one for Sarah alone (with Daniel crawling around interestedly), one for Miriam and Angela, and then one for the older 4 children.  We filled plastic eggs and then Kevin's mom brought a big bag full of more eggs so the kids got a lot of candy.  They didn't mind too much.

 

 I guess this was a couple of days earlier...Kevin planted a bunch of asparagus.  We love asparagus (most of us, anyway) and we have a large family.  So now we have 60+ asparagus plants over by the barn.

Have you ever tried to do stretching exercises with 3 little girls "helping"?  It's an interesting experience.

 

 

 

Little plants coming up...

 

 

Sarah got sick one day.  You know she's sick when she just lies quietly on the couch in the middle of the day.  She is close to normal again, thankfully.

Kevin spent hours and hours this weekend working on our tractor.  He welded something together and now is painting various accessories.  What is this?  It's... an S shaped doohicky.  It will be used to get rid of weeds.

Last, but not least, is a shot of the latest candy exchange.  Not surprisingly, the children have favorites in the candy department.  Since they just got Easter candy, their candy bags are bulging.  One day this week, they transformed our table into a pit at the stock exchange.  There was much yelling of "2 little rabbits, what can I get for 2 candy rabbits?" and that kind of thing. It was cute and everyone seemed pleased with their exchanges when I called a halt.
