Springtime fun+ Easter= a wonderful weekend!

Spring has sprung in the Vogelaar household! Flowers are blooming, noses are running from allergies, Easter was upon us, and there has been a lot of spring cleaning projects crossed off the list. Here's a sneak peek at what our busy Easter weekend looked like!

We all slept in until 8am Saturday morning! :) Thank you Maddison. If you're a parent you will realize how much of a gift sleeping in is- remember the title of the blog... a baby changes EVERYTHING! 

I love our little family!

On Friday afternoon the Wideman girls joined us at a wildflower field to take Easter pictures! This was the only picture we could get of all four of us with all of our eyes open (kinda hard with the bright sun!) and sort of looking at the camera! 

Beautiful Texas Wildflowers! 

Are these girls not the cutest things you've ever seen. They are singing "if you're happy and you know it, clap your hands!" 

She's my favorite! 

It's becoming increasingly hard to get her to smile and look at the camera for pictures! 

Maddison added some sass to our weekend. When I asked her to smile for the camera she said "noooooo" and turned her head. 

Eating jelly beans in bed on Easter morning... a great way to start the day! 

She had to have her Little People eat breakfast with her on Easter. The Little People school bus I got her for her Easter basket was a hit! Mike even made them baby pancakes and she fed them "pancates".

The Vog girls in their Easter dresses. I wore this dress for my nursing school graduation almost 3 years ago and I LOVE it. Wow, I can't believe it's been 3 years since college and how much my life has changed in those 3 years. 

Walking around Watermark before church. The service was amazing as usual. 

Enjoying a post Easter service swing on her new tree swing we put up this weekend. She's clearly loving it! 

She hasn't stopped playing with this since she got it- I feel like the mom of the year for picking this out for her. Thank you Target 50% off Little People sale a couple weeks ago! 

We put the finishing touches on Mk's room this weekend. I got that little table from First Mondays at Canton last weekend for $10! It was intended to go next to her bed as a bedside table, but she kept playing with it when she took naps in her big girl bed, so it's temporarily by the rocking chair until she develops more self control.

You've already seen the bed, but I wanted yall to see MK changing baby Elmo's diaper. She needs to be a big sister- it's in her genes! The crib is still in her room (on the opposite wall). She's been taking naps in her bed, but not sleeping in it at night. I'm still not ready! I've decided that if the Lord blesses us with another girl next I'll sell the wood crib and buy a white one and keep the girls in the same room once the little one is sleeping through the night. 

We also finished painting our $30 garage sale dresser this weekend. It looks great now with a couple coats of white paint and some new knobs! (Note baby Elmo is now being changed on the dresser!)

I love having the extra drawer space for our cloth diapers. Maddie likes it to, makes changing baby Elmo more convenient for her. 

It felt so great to have such a productive weekend, and also to take a day and reflect on the hope of Easter! I pray that Easter isn't just a day you celebrated yesterday and forgot about today. I pray that you are living in the truth of Easter everyday and that you know the power, love and peace of our Savior.

What did you do this weekend? Did you get any spring cleaning projects done? Once we have our garage sale in a couple weeks our spring cleaning will be DONE! YAY! :)

Love,
K. Vog
