March Madness Part I

We had a full house for part of the weekend. Shannon, her friend Amy, my mom, Owen, and Lyla all came up for a whirlwind visit. There was a big consignment sale at the fairgrounds that Shannon wanted to check out so they came up Friday afternoon and then headed home a little less than 24 hours later.

We stayed outside for a bit when everyone first got here so that the kids could stretch their legs, and we even went on a short walk. When we got back to the house, Lyla was asking for "mouse," so we put a Mickey Mouse Club DVD on for her and Owen.

And Morgan.













Tucker wasn't too sure about all the "stuff" that accompanies babies on weekend trips. Once he conducted a thorough inspection and assessed the situation from afar, he decided it was okay to join the group but only if he could have the best seat in the house.







































There were snacks and horseplay.






























And later, there were Easter "baskets" to open. See, we were planning on going to the park by the old house on Saturday for the Easter festivities that the Town was putting on, and there was going to be an Easter egg hunt. Well, I couldn't let Owen and Lyla show up for an Easter egg hunt without something to put their treasures in, could I? And what fun is an empty "basket" - for me or for them?


























Each pail had bubbles, a four-pack of Peeps, and three plastic eggs containing M&M's and colored Goldfish.













Uncle McHusband helped Lyla with her basket, and I helped Owen with his.




























































When we were done with the Easter pails, Shannon called Calvin so Owen could say goodnight. He was very excited to give his daddy kisses through the phone.













Owen says, "Mwah!"
