Easter Weekend

Phew!!!

I feel like I'm still getting over this past weekend.  Between birthday parties, and Easter weekend festivities I am seriously exhausted.  This may also explain why I won't be posting any pictures from my big girl camera.  We were literally going in a million different directions, and my iPhone proved to be the easier option.

Like many days lately, this weekend started

and

ended in the pool.  We were blessed with beautiful weather for nearly every second of this weekend, and we definitely took advantage.

clearly this is the "Summer of Pool Floats" in the Fife household.  Not pictured: giant unicorn and giant swan...

With both the kids and Jordan off of school and work for Good Friday, our weekend started early on Thursday afternoon.

Jordan woke up early on Friday with Holden and took him to therapy giving Isla and I some very appreciated time to sleep in!

That night we headed to one of our best friend Shelby's Birthday parties.  It was a great night out with friends.

I may have the best husband around, because he let me sleep in on Saturday morning as well!!!

That afternoon we headed to some friends in the Spring/Woodlands area for a crawfish boil.

They have an amazing home with a huge backyard so theres tons of room for the kids to run around and play.

Of course our kids took full advantage splitting his time between the pool and the playroom.  As you can see Doc McStuffins was a major hit.  I can't wait to take this kid to Disney again!!!!

The kids even had an early Easter egg hunt

Kudos to Ray and Greg - the crawfish was AMAZING - truly some of the best I've ever had

We headed back towards Katy around dinnertime as we had a swim party at our neighbor Lizet and Aarons.

I think it's safe to say Isla was operating on borrowed time by this point.  She didn't make it much past this photo

That night we got ready for the Easter Bunny's big visit.

The kids were both so tired, Holden from getting up multiple nights around 2am and Isla from staying up so late that they both slept in!

In fact, We had to wake Holden up, and even then he showed absolutely NO interest in hunting for any eggs.  There was some perking up when he saw the candy, but not even that could get him out of his funk.  It took a good hour for him to get back to his normal bouncy self.

Isla didn't mind picking up the slack from her brother and found all the eggs herself.  As I said the weekend started and ended in the pool - even for Teddy!  We came home from the store and found him like this!  I don't think it was intentional as he is NOT a swimmer.  Clearly he didn't notice the steps directly next to him either.  Poor guy...

And here is the aforementioned GIANT unicorn.  

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend filled with family and friends.

We are not slowing down over here - Mimi is coming to visit in just two days!  More to come soon!!!
