Happy Easter! and for Monday.... Good Morning Nicole! :)

So many people read my blog every day ( I am so loved! ) I thought I would send some "shout outs" (that's so 90's) to a few people now and then. They know who they are so nothing more than first names are needed! Morning Nicole. Have a great week! ~Kristen~ :)

So today is Easter, the boys got up and Wyatt right away saw his little bucket with toys and candy in it and eggs around the house. It was really fun to watch him hunt for eggs and then SHAKE THEM (Plastic fill ones) to see what was inside. Nash enjoyed his toys as well. But the egg hunt was obviously for Wyatt. ;)

We enjoyed a wonderful brunch with my family. The boys were so good!!! I was very pleased. We then came home got Wyatt to bed, Nash a bottle and I left Nash and James on the couch to rest and I went out to the store with my mom. Got some groceries and some photos printed (I will post some tomorrow) and then came home. Let me tell you, I have never had to bring my groceries in and DRY them off. It was pouring rain today when we went from the store to the car and them from the car into the house with the bags. It was crazy!

I had so much energy I popped a ham in the oven (prebaked) made some pasta with it and then started on a recipe from my Aunt called "Autumn Soup" here is the recipe from the Internet I found to share with you. So I made this for dinner tomorrow since I will be home late from my dr's appointments. Now those of you who know me know I dont cook....HA so this was fun and about as much cooking as I do. Throwing things in a pot is fun and made me feel like I was cooking. It turned out good and was soooooo yummy!!!!!
