Easter, Broken Bones & Castle Acre Priory

We didn't have a very exciting Easter. I still wasn't feeling well. I felt bad that we didn't have anything for the kids so last minute Saturday night Allie and I went to the store and got some candy to put in the eggs, picked out 2 small things for each of the kids and got some eggs to color. I guess they now know that there is no Easter bunny. Funny that there weren't any questions asked though.

After church we did an indoor egg hunt since it was raining outside. I didn't take any pictures because our house was a mess (remember I had been sick for 2 weeks at this point!) It's a miracle they found all the eggs! Then we colored eggs (and took the picture a whole week later!)

 

To help make up for the pretty uneventful Easter I took the girls to a free craft event on base the next weekend. (Derek and Blake spent some quality time together grocery shopping)

 

 

The week after vacation Derek finished the playhouse! I think it looks great especially since it only cost us the hardware for the door, the house #, and the clearance paint.

 

 

It's hard to get a good pic of the inside.

 

 

Last week Derek broke his hand playing football. It happened as he was catching the ball, then he fell and his finger just snapped all the way back. He didn't drop it though.......and he kept playing and went on to catch 2 more touchdown passes. He had to get 3 screws put in.

 

 

 

This afternoon was such a beautiful day we wanted to get out and enjoy it. There is an old castle and priory not too far from our house that we hadn't been to yet so we decided to go enjoy the day walking around the grounds.
