Happy Easter
Believe it or not, I consolidated these pictures as much as I could, but, yet--there are still a million on here! We had such a busy and wonderful Easter weekend that I just had to share all of the pictures. Saturday morning, we woke up bright and early (thanks to Mr Sunshine shown below) and headed out to my sister-in-law's sister's house (Was that confusing? My brother's wife's sister.) to dye Easter Egg's. Logan LOVED it and a big thanks to the Hanna's for having us over.

Working very hard on his Easter Eggs (all of which turned out...can you guess what color?)
GREEN!!
Hugging goodbye (I'm cracking up looking at how both of their hands are dyed!)
After leaving there, we headed to Shane's parents church for their big Easter Egg hunt which was awesome. They had 3 bounce house/slides, carnival food, over 1000 eggs for the 3-4 year old age group and The Easter Bunny!! Logan loved it (so much that he did NOT want to leave.)Here's Shane and I supervising the hunt =)

Jump! Jump! Jump!
Just hanging out with the Easter Bunny
Hunting Eggs with Grandma. (Can you see ALL of those eggs out there? Literally, they all hunted until their baskets were full and there were still a ton left.)
He loved opening up the eggs to see what was inside.
When we got home from the hunt on Saturday (following the major meltdown since he didn't want to leave) we realized that Logan was running a low-grade fever. So, we spent the rest of the day resting and skipped church on Easter morning. (We skipped church mainly b/c Logan will not go to Sunday school and we knew that with a runny nose he'd be a bear sitting in church.) Luckily, he was fever free the rest of the night and the next morning, so we felt okay with my Dad and family coming over for our planned Easter brunch.The Easter Bunny did stop by our house, and what did he bring? Well, bugs, frogs and candy of course! What else would a little boy expect in his Easter basket?!
We had to go outside right away in our pj's to draw with his new sidewalk chalk and blow bubbles
Here's a picture of our completed Bunny Cake that we make every year. (Warning: Eat the bunny's bow tie at your own risk. One or more of the gum drops might have been in Logan's mouth...) 
Uncle Marty, Aunt Jill, Memaw and Granddad came over for a mid-day brunch and to watch Logan hunt eggs in the backyard.

As you can tell, we had a wonderful Easter. Logan loves the whole hiding and finding eggs thing and is still wanting to fill plastic eggs with stuff and hide them. I'm still eating green hard boiled eggs (currently green eggs in chicken salad.) So, we're all doing good.
This morning I went and enrolled Logan in pre-school for next year. (They actually call it pre-k Three's.) This was a huge decision for us that both Shane and I have gone back and forth on for many reasons. Mainly because it is a financial decision since we are a one-income family but also because it's a big deal to "let go" of him in a way. We're also worried about him transitioning into going to school away from us....But, in the end, we decided it was the right decision for our family and we're excited about it. He'll go on Tuesday's and Thursdays from 9-2pm starting at the end of August. I was soooo impressed with their curriculum and all that he will get to do. He will take music classes and have access to all kind of arts and crafts. They also have posted outside the classroom what they are working on for the week. They have a weekly theme, number, letter, vocabulary words and certain skills. It will be a big transition for us as I've been home with him for the last 3 years, but I'm really looking forward to giving him the chance to gain some independence and start to get ready for kindergarten.
We're headed to the panhandle on Friday to visit my Granddad with my brother and Jill. I know Logan will love getting to spend some time on the farm. But, this will be a difficult trip for me since it's the first one since my Grandma passed away. Unfortunately, Shane can't go with us but I'm so grateful to have Uncle Marty and Aunt Jill on hand to help with Logan.
