That night we had a lovely dinner of chicken breast with spaghetti .. Then got all the kids bathed and ready for bed. A had to go to school Tuesday morning her spring break was the week before my kids. So when my sister put her girls to bed.. I took my kids up into there media room and we watched movies on there big screen which is the one wall in there media room sort of like what you see in a movie theater.. My kids just thinks that is the coolest thing ever.. I find it very cool myself :) and that is how we spent Monday of our spring break.
Some time here in the next few days I hope to get my how we spent Tuesday of spring break post posted..

Throwback Thursday(last easter)

I'm not throwing it back to far in the past this week.. ONLY a year.. I forgot to add these two pictures into our slide show I posted yesterday, of Easter last year.
These pictures have a story to them.. I never sat out to get the kids picture with the Easter bunny. as you can tell by the play cloths, the messing hair and the blurry pictures. It was Saturday of the weekend of Easter last year.. We were on vacation in TN. We took the kids to an Easter egg hunt and then spent the biggest part of the day sight seeing. I needed to hit the Walmart to get stuff for Easter baskets, so off to walmart we went. DH took the middle two kids with him so I could get the stuff the Easter bunny needed. Princess went with me because well she was 11 and well past the Easter bunny years and Little Man wasn't even 2 yet so I figured he wouldn't have a clue that the stuff I was putting into my cart would end up being the stuff in his basket the next morning.. I see the Easter bunny sitting there in the middle of walmart and I wanted to get Little Man's pic with the fluffy white rabbit.. ONLY as you can tell from the pic he wanted no part of it.. So Princess said she would hold him for the pic. I didn't have a camera on me so I snapped this shot with my cell phone.
After I took it I went to find DH so I could get the other two kids and go get there picture with the bunny also. ONLY before I could get a word out of my mouth DH said Look what I got.. and he shows me his cell phone and there was the 2nd picture I posted today of Mr Man and Sweet Pea with the bunny... great minds and all NO??
Well that is my throwback for today..
You all have a Wonderful Easter.

Throwback Thursday(Easters past)

It's party week... Are you ready to party??? You can find MY PARTY POST HERE.

This week I thought I would break out the old photo albums and look for some old Easter Pictures.. I couldn't find all of my photos.. I wonder where they went too, but here are a few of the ones I did come across.

These 1st two are from Easter 1997. It was Princess's 2nd Easter she was 14 1/2 months old.

Here she is after church on palm Sunday. She is in her spring church coat.. I just loved that coat and I'm a sucker for a baby girl in a bonnet.
This one was taken Easter Sunday, not only after church but also after lunch at my dad parents house and an hour drive to my mom's parents house. It was taken in my Grandma's dinning room. The Little boy in the picture is my cousin's son.

The Next two shots are a year later Easter 1998 Princess was 2 years old, This was taken in my Grandma's(mom's mom) backyardThis is Princess with my Grandma. I really miss going to grandma's for holidays, almost as much as I miss my grandma and grandpa.

Skipping ahead a few years brings us to Easter 2000. This was Mr Man's first Easter He was 4 1/2 months old.Me and Mr Man after church and before heading to my grandma's for lunch(dad's parents) Princess had went with my parents after church and was meeting us there.Daddy(DH) and Mr Man

The Next year Easter 2001These were taken before church in the front yard. Mr Man about 16 months oldAnd Princess was 5 years old

Throwback Thursday(singing at my wedding)

Today I thought I would throw it back to October 29, 1994. My Wedding day.

On Tuesday this week I played along in a Wedding Photo Tag. A few people asked me or commented on me singing to DH. So I thought I would try to share that with you wonderful people, my blog readers.

In order to do this, I broke out the old VHS tape of my wedding and the aim my camera at the TV set so the sound on the video isn't the best and you might need to turn it up if you want to hear me sing.. but keep in mind it is me singing so you might want to turn it down so you don't have to hear it LOL. In either case here it is.
