Easter Happenings

We had a lot of fun with Easter festivities over the last week. On Wednesday we went to Storytime at the Library and created lovely Easter crafts. Miss Annette read us some really cute and funny rabbit-themed books, and we even sang Colby's favorite song, "Tick Tock".

 

On Friday, we headed over to Nana's house to dye some Easter eggs. Oh Lordy, if you've never dyed Easter eggs with three toddlers, you're missing out on a wacky experience!

 

Notice how Wyatt has a sneaky grin on his face, Ava looks fretfully cautious, and Colby is just going for it whole-hog. Nana absolutely had her hands full! And speaking of hands...

Yep, after awhile, Wyatt decided that utensils were way overrated and started "bear-pawing" it, grabbing the eggs out of the cups with his bare hands. Colorful!

 

On Saturday we headed out to a local church for an Easter egg hunt. The little ones got a little distracted, so they didn't really collect loads of eggs. Colby opened his first egg and found a Reese cup inside; he was done!

 

Wyatt froze at the beginning of his hunting experience (And who wouldn't, considering they were hunting eggs in a cemetery!?), but once he found his groove, his basket filled up quite quickly.

 

Later on Saturday, we went to Aunt Cheryl's house for a ham dinner. The boys had fun playing outside and, of course, hunting for more eggs! We also celebrated two birthdays--Mamaw's and Aunt Suzie's. Easter candy and cake! Who could ask for anything more?

 

On Sunday morning, we awoke to discover that the Easter bunny had visited our playroom and left some special treats for us. Wyatt got four new toy-sized trash cans. He also got a copy of the wonderful children's book Grandma Drove the Garbage Truck.

 

Colby got a huge Bruder backhoe. Or, as he says it, "BACKHOE! BACKHOE!" He's had a lot of fun scooping up Legos, but he has had to fend off several attempts by his brother to take over ownership of said backhoe.

 

As for Mommy and Daddy? Well, the bunny left Mommy an Amazon gift card so she can get the final two books of The Hunger Games. Daddy got a handsome Easter bonnet--er, mowing hat. It has an awesome fabric flap on the back to prevent him from becoming a redneck. Thank you, Easter bunny!

 

We had so much fun spending time with our family this weekend, but the best part was definitely the kids' joy at finding eggs and discovering their Easter baskets. We hope you had a wonderful Easter, too!
