Delayed gifts

Having purchased a new vacuum from Kohls yesterday - much to my dismay (yes I resist change and if I could would live on the prairie!) I - completely unexpectedly - fell in instant love with it.  It didn't fall over on the kids like the last one did, didnt smell like the rug was burning, was lightweight, etc. etc. So naturally I cleaned for over 3 hours this morning - moving beds, vacuuming in corners, even the cobwebs are gone.

Well during this cleaning frenzy the kids were more than super great!  I gave them their Easter presents from their cousins - which they were more than happy to receive.

Amy made Matteo this great book when he was 3 years old for this birthday - - he just received it today Amy and LOVES IT! 

So the kids spent the morning putting stickers on their sticker books and drawing pictures in the books as well.

Below is a picture of Amy & Katelyn - whom Matteo talks about very much "Katelyn and ....what's her mama's name?"  Amy Dear you have never looked so tall - - your legs are gorgeous :-) 

At the end of the day we all snuggled on the couch and read some books (which I received last year from Nanny ...and of course was saving... Note to reader: i have a tendency to save things).  The kids each sat on their pillows and snuggled under another blanket from Auntie - even putting Chloe May to sleep.

The kids never left their pjs today - played with a new hotwheels track Matteo received for his birthday - spent well over 3 hours with stickers and drawing - it was that kind of day ::::::: PERFECT.
