Happy Easter everyone!
I hope everyone had fun hunting for easter eggs or good deals at the store or whatever you were hunting for...rabbit maybe? We had a pretty good time. We got together with our friends the Burton's for a combined Easter egg hunt/playtime. Mostly we "hid" the eggs by dropping them in an open field in plain sight and then pointed almost all of them out to the boys as they rushed out with baskets. It went mostly like this, "Andrew (or Myles), look over here! No right HERE!" (He's still staring off into space, then 3 inches to the right of the actual egg. Finally you touch the egg with your finger and they suddenly see it as if it appeared out of thin air. Of course it takes them forever to reach down and pick it up, and in the meantime Jack, who heard the "right HERE!" comment is now rushing over to pick the egg up too, so you have to marshal between them pointing out another egg for Jack to pick up making sure Andrew actually puts his in his basket because for some reason he things it's funny to hurl them in the air right over his head. I guess this is my fault for not explaining gravity- and the what goes up must come down and will probably hit you on the head-principle to my 18 month old.) When all is said and done Jack and Mackay (Jack's BEST friend, as he'll point out to anyone) have mostly full baskets and Myles and Andrew after finally getting the idea of the egg hunt decide it would be much for fun to play on the slides. Of course Sherrie, being the more wonderful Mom got all the boys big bubble blowers, kites and a whole box of fun toys. So then all the boys find these awesome toys and promptly throw them down so they can go play and most of the adults start flying kites to show them how much fun it is to do so. Meanwhile they get bored of standing there holding a string while mom and dad rush around trying to get a kite to fly and go play, but when the kite finally clears the 5 ft. extra pull to the earth, we've done so much work to get it there we HAVE to stay and fly it.
That was on Friday. We all spent Saturday shopping and getting rolls thrown at us, which is another blog in and of itself, but to put it shortly; we ate at Lambert's Cafe.
Saturday night I tried to put all the Easter outfits together. It made it hard to get them all to match without the matching clothes, but at least they were well ironed and pulled together for all the time the boys weren't wearing them.
