Spring Break and Easter Weekend went by way-to-fast! This is my favorite time of year! I love having the kids home from school! (I know you may have heard me say differently...) I love it when we can be on our own schedule! Watching Elmo in mom's bed! Popsicles for breakfast! Tennis in the driveway after dinner! Monopoly at midnight! There were days I didn't even leave the neighborhood... wonderful happiness not to be stuck in my car. No school, no homework, no scouts, no baseball, no ballet... just pure playtime!
Below are some pics of our First Annual Neighborhood Egg Hunt! It was a blast! Neighbor families met
on Saturday morning for cinnamon rolls and O.J., while Rich and some other dads hid over 200 eggs! We then walked, biked, wagon-rode and scootered over to the golf course for the hunt! The kids had so much fun with all of their friends! I think this will be a tradition for many years!The Latest Butler Tid-Bits:
*Ruby has had candy as breakfast for three days running.
*George asked on Easter morning, "Mom did you hide the eggs? Because they're hidden in places you would hide them!"*Ruby can now give a play-by-play of each of her timeout sessions. She says, "Mama mean, I cried," she then points to the corner, rubs her eyes and pretends to cry, then says, "Trouble!"
*Lulu reluctantly admitted to not liking the Organic easy mac n'cheese that I've been buying for over a year. "Because I don't want to hurt your feelings." - What a sweet girl!

What a fun neighborhood tradition! I love easter egg hunts.
What a nice daughter, Lulu! I love that she is so concerned about your feelings. :)
You're not real baseball/football parents until you are wearing the team jersey every weekend and following the team (with or without your kid) to another state for tournaments. Where's the photo of you in your Phillies attire?
Hello Butler family!
I am Elder Gassin's sister. My mom forwarded your wonderful email with a picture of Adam attached. It was so great to "see" him and hear of the wonderful work the Lord is having him do.
In many emails, Elder Gassin has spoken so highly of you and with so much love for your family. It is SO special to be able to "meet" your family through your blog and have darling faces to go with the names.
I hope you don't mind me commenting on your blog. Your children are SO cute and you both look like such a fun couple.
I am so glad you had the chance to meet my brother - although I am biased to family, I have always thought he is incredible. Thanks for taking such good care of him and for the wonderful email and pictures.
Sincerely,
Ashlie Richey
