Rainy Monday
Today we woke up to thunder storms and they lasted most of the day. when Andrew can he tries to take of part of the day on Monday as, like all pastors, he works all weekend. So this late afternoon and evening we went to ITZ and fun place with food and games. The sale they were running turned out to NOT be as good of a deal as we had thought (even though we called to check) but we all had a fun time, especially the boys. They went to bed with ease after we got home--no rainy blues in the Matthews' home today...we will see about tomorrow!
Esthers New Dress
Esther's Auntie Aileen made her a very special and beautiful dress, she wore it on Sunday and looked beautiful.
Pumpkin Patch
We were driving down the road and noticed a church that had a pumpkin patch. Gaius was the only kid awake so he and mummy when for a walk through the patch and bought three little tiny pumpkins for each kiddo! It was fun, muddy, but fun.

Easter Weekend
Easter weekend started on Saturday morning. We went to the local neighbourhood celebration filled with face painting, bouncy castle, a clown making balloon creatures, and the kids got to do two huge Easter egg hunts. It was a lot of fun.
Sunday morning the kids got to open their Easter baskets, or this year buckets, which was a lot of fun - but too early in the morning...six am!
Sunday Service was a lot of fun with over 100 people at church. The kids took part in the worship and I ended up having to help in the nursery because we had so many kids (great problem to have!!) Following the service was a fellowship meal. We enjoyed the remainder of the day relaxing together at home.
Family Easter photo 2009, the boys had their kilts on and they looks so cute. People had a hard time telling who was who as they ran around the church in their matching outfits.
The kids had a great children's moment - they got to give flowers to the ladies.
The kids sang a song at the beginning of the service.
The Easter bunny knew that we are a house of boys, and buckets full of goodies was a bit more of a fit than baskets.
The Easter Bunny came to our house on Easter Morning to give gifts to help celebrate Jesus being risen today!
It took Gideon a while to figure it all out but he did get a couple of eggs in the end.
Triumph!
Gaius got lots of eggs.
The BIG Easter Egg Hunt. Once they said, "Go" it was all over in a matter of a minute.
There was face painting, or in Gideon's case hand painting. Both the boys got bunny rabbits.
Gaius was very excited about the bouncy castle.
