Just a few more Easter pics...

We didn't quite get all the activities in yesterday.

So the kids got to have some more Easter fun this morning.

decorating eggs

peeling eggs

eating eggs

We also had a wonderful gathering here with some of Michael's family on Easter Sunday.

Our attempt at getting a group pic of the kids...why do we even try?

Viola even got some treats in her eggs!

Fletcher Easter Gathering

We had a wonderful Good Friday Fletcher gathering.

After some instruction for the egg hunt they headed inside to wait.

Ready...really really ready...set...GO!

As usual Blake wasted no time to get his EAT on!

So happy it cleared up just in time.

What a beautiful afternoon and beautiful girls too!

Yaya gave the kids some really fun parachute guys.

And without fail Uncle Shawn made it even cooler!

Happy Blake

Crafty Dessert

The kids painted some flowers earlier today for our little project.

Then it was time to fill our cups with mud, dirt, and worms.

Charlie loved putting the thing together but as soon as he realized the other kids were going to eat the dirt, mud and worms he was very disturbed!

Signs of Spring

cold treats

worms

dirty legs and bruises

Michael Miller...I mean Fletcher!

Michael finally knows what it's like to be a Fletcher! He went into urgent care early this morning to find out he has strep throat. His tonsils are disturbingly big and he could barley swallow so they put him on a little cocktail of antibiotics and steroids. Even though he is a poor sick guy I can't but find humor in the fact that the steroids have turned him into a Fletcher. He is physically exhausted but he can't stop from walking around the house aimlessly...and his mind is racing with ideas and thoughts. It's funny people! This is the guy that can stare at the wall and when you ask him what he is thinking about he says nothing and really means NOTHING! I didn't think it was humanly possible to not think of anything. Obviously I am a Fletcher. So for the next 48 hours while my husband is drudged up I am going to cease the moment and enjoy every second. He can't go anywhere, do anything, and he likes talking right now (well until his throat starts hurting again)! Talking till your throat hurts he's a FLETCHER!

I needed to post some new pics...

Easter Egg Hunt at Papa's work

Poor Mike is sick now, but he had just enough energy to sit on the side lines and watch the kids hunt for eggs this morning. Behind that smile is a lot of Tylenol and Ibuprofen!

Ellie got some coaching from Daddy to head in the opposite direction as the other kids to score the eggs on the other side. It was so cute to see her run her little heart out. Soon the other kids caught on and joined her.

The sun was out but it was cold!

Ellie talking to her cousin (IT's A GIRL) in Aunt Melissa's tummy.

Some silliness between the kids

I have no explanation for this other then...it's BLAKE!

Yes it's play-doh

Digging for worms...and just digging for the fun of it.
