easter!

it was a beautiful spring day for caroline's first easter. we all went to church, though never made it past the nursery due to the lack of babysitter volunteers. caroline enjoyed playing with another baby her size. after an hour or so of making a mess of someone else's toys, we went to my aunt's house for easter lunch where the kids got their easter baskets.

quentin shows caroline how to examine her loot

caroline seems to wish she had a pile of new monster trucks too

as close as we got to a nice pic of both of them

notice who has the biggest monster truck

this little people cow is especially tasty

hey! where are the jelly beans?

seriously people. where my candy?

c'mon. i only have two teeth so it's not like candy is gonna rot all my teeth.

whatever. i'll eat this leaf.

are you sure these eggs are edible?

quentin hunts for eggs

here's one!

and another one!

there's one right there!

two more!

any left?

gravedigger!!!! he was so excited about this that he didn't even notice his easter basket for about another 10 minutes.

eventually, quentin discovers the rest of his easter basket

after baskets, we went inside and ate lunch. well quentin didn't. he threw some food on the floor and had tantrums while the rest of us enjoyed our meal. caroline really enjoyed hers, giving new meaning to the term omnivorous. she ate baby food carrots, goldfish crackers, asparagus, pineapple, ham, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, whipped cream, chocolate cake, lemon meringue pie, and an entire adult-sized portion of grapenut pudding with cool whip.

quentin refused to nap. so on the five minute car ride home, this happened:

still clutching his new digger, of course.
