For most of the time, the kids and I were home and while I had planned to do some "spring" cleaning, I ended up sick in bed with a terrible sinus infection. My nieces came up and spent a couple of days with the kids which is always fun! The first day, they went outside and played and manged to find mud (they always do), but the second day was rainy, so they were stuck inside. However, they played knockout on the basketball goal in the basement, hid Easter eggs, played Star Wars, and played on the Wii Fit! Friday night, I took the kids to "Monsters vs. Aliens". This was our first family visit to the movie theater since the time we took Marshall and he rolled down the aisle during the movie! He was much better behaved this time!
Saturday morning I spent doing laundry and cleaning and then Saturday afternoon Greg's parents arrived. We took them, along with my mom and our family to eat at the Tokyo Japanese Steakhouse, which is a Hibachi style restaraunt where they cook the food on the grill in front of you! I have wanted to take the kids for a while, but it has just never happened. My mom and Greg's parents were a little leary since it was Japanese food and they didn't know what to expect, but everyone had a blast! Marshall even tried to catch a shrimp in his mouth!
Sunday was Easter and we all went to church where the kids got baptized along with my niece. I am so happy that all three of them got baptized at the same time! I think that is really special! After church, we had a multi-family get together at my brother's mother and father-in-law's house. We had a great time visiting and watching the kids play!
Today the kids went back to school and we are on the trail of another busy week! I'll post more later!
Allison, Morgan, and Marshall playing Star Wars. I'm not sure what the scenario was, I'm just the photographer!
Morgan was very excited to get to use chopsticks!
All three of the kids at the steakhouse!
The Farrells in their Sunday best!
The kids are racing bunnies to see who has the fastest. Morgan's was a quick start, but Maggie's slow and steady won the race!
This is our crazy face picture! Everyone likes bunny ears, right?
Ever notice how once you have kids, there are no pictures of you, just them. Well, here is one of just Greg and I!

Sounds like you had a great Spring Break! Any time off to spend with your own kiddos is wonderful! :) Very cool on the baptisms as well. Allison and I were both baptized on Easter; Rhett was baptized on Father's Day. Oh, and the picture you of and Greg is great! :)
