sugar, swiss dots, and my sweethearts

today we put on our easter best and headed to the annual story-time egg hunt at the library.  it was good practice for sunday's big hunt and the girls came home all sugared up and smiley and with chocolate stains in awkward places that had me wishing their daddy was home to laugh and joke about with me.  i don`t allow too many sweets in my house, but i never want my children to feel like they were deprived of some of the fun things that holidays bring about--  pastel m&m's sure are pretty and easter eggs filled with playdoh are a brilliant idea, you can't convince me otherwise.  though i am a bit of a momzilla and don't include any candy in their easter baskets (they get enough when we go and visit relatives) and i don't neccessarily agree with how commercialized certain holidays have become, its good to let the kids indulge every now and again... especially after sitting through a couple good easter stories and songs.

    i am just like you.. my girls don't drink juice (only milk and water) and they hardly have sweets, except for special occasions.

    their easter baskets this year are filled with books... hee hee.

    that kissing picture is so sweet! i can't wait until my girls are a little older and can interact that way... LM already says her and Lark are best friends though and that melts my heart. Thanks for linking up, I loved seeing your pictures!

    Oh my.. The girls look adorable! I'm like that with candy and a lot of holiday stuff. Society has really gotten away from what most holidays really mean. Lillie has some bath bombs and bubble bars in her basket since I work for lush. And some vintage goodies from etsy.

    Hope you all have a happy Easter and I'm hoping to have your little package out by the end of this week :)

    Your girls are absolutely gorgeous, as are their outfits.

    Thanks so much for sharing about the candy eating. I don't let me kids eat much (any) and was feeling badly about the candy they ate at our Easter egg hunt the other day. But, I totally agree with you, it's good to limit, but I don't want my kids to feel completely deprived either. We keep the candy out of the baskets, but I'm sure the grandparents will give them some! :)

    Thanks so much for linking up!

    Oh my goodness!! I LOVE the shoes. I have to admit I let my kids indulge on candy for Easter BUT we do not have it at other times. We do not keep cookies and chips and things in the house regularly. They are all treats.

    Oh and I adore that picture of the girls kissing. I just love siblings loving on each other. SO sweet!
