Happy Easter!

We had a lot of fun on Easter. Maurice had FOUR services at church (three on Sunday and one on Saturday night. oh, yeah, and a Good Friday service, too.) so it's nice to finally see him again. Easter and Christmas are his busiest times of year. The boys and I only went to one service (slackers!) and enjoyed it a lot. I should say Isaac and I went, because Timmy stayed in Sunday School. Isaac is getting to be very good about sitting through a service. No fussing or whining at all! It helps that he can read and write a little, so he just writes on his note pad if he gets bored.

The boys looked so handsome in their Easter outfits. I don't always buy them an Easter outfit, but we have a wedding to go to in May so I figured they'd wear them again. Isaac wanted them to wear identical outfits, but my friend Sherwin (who is a twin) gives me a hard time when I dress them like twins. Plus, I figured Timmy is not a big fan of ties, so why torture the kid?!! Isaac, on the other hand, loves to wear ties. He says he "looks like a grown-up....just like Daddy!". So cute!

Last Saturday we invited our neighbors over for an Easter egg hunt. Here is Isaac, Timmy and Alex with their "booty". Yes, it was only in the very low 30's so they had to wear their winter gear. It actually snowed on Easter day! This year we had a green Christmas and a white Easter. Go figure!
I made mashed potatoes last week and Timmy asked to lick the beater. That kid is getting to be so much fun! It's kind of hard for me that he's growing up so fast, but at the same time, he's just so funny! He's got a great sense of humor. Where Isaac has got a great intellectual sense of humor, always saying funny things that seem so way beyond his years, Timmy has just got a devilish charm about him. The difference between an Overholt and a Rivers, I guess!

Here the boys are sticking balls in their shirts. I asked them what they were doing, expecting a more obvious (to me, at least) answer such as "we're girls". But not my manly men! The answer was " We're making muscles!".
