Wrapping up the Easter Posts

Ok, so I've already covered the day after Easter, now it's time to cover the day before, and the day itself.



Last Saturday, the day before Easter, the boys' school had activities from 10:00 a.m. to noon. There was a moon bounce, egg decorating, an egg hunt, and playground time.



There were a lot of people there, which was fun. The bigger kids blasted the grounds when the egg hunt started and got the majority of the eggs, but our boys didn't even notice. They got their few eggs a piece and were happy.

Here, Tyler is trying to transfer the jelly beans he found inside his eggs into his jacket pocket....

And here he is pointing out to me the eggs he found:

Evan's bucket:

After the egg hunt, all the kids just played on the playground for an hour. The toddlers (Evan's class) are usually confined to a different part of the playground, so Evan had a great time playing in the bigger section with his brother!

Of course, Tyler took his bucket everywhere he went!

Before we left, the boys wanted to hit the moon bounce.... there was a line!

Maddy and I waited patiently on the sidelines....

They finally made it in.

On the way home, we were all hungry, so we decided, since it was Saturday, to treat the boys to McDonald's.

Tyler even took a few bites of his cheeseburger!!! Amazing!!!!

After lunch, it was nap time for everyone - except Daddy. Mitch used the opportunity to go to Lowe's to purchase a wheelbarrow. Luckily, by the time he was ready to assemble it, Tyler had woken up and was ready and willing to assist.

I think he's going to end up being very mechanical.

He does get distracted though.... like when he discovered this toad on our front steps.

He came running into the house "Mommy! Mommy! Frog! Frog!" (he insisted it was a frog, not a toad). Here is a close-up:

Blech!!!

When Evan woke up, he wanted to help too.

He insisted on wearing his rain boots.

Aren't they cute?!?!?

Finally, after all the "help", the wheelbarrow was finally finished!

And then it was time for rides!!!!

Sunday, of course, was Easter. Here are the boys enjoying their Easter baskets (and of course Tyler has no pants on *sigh*).

The baskets were pretty lame. I bought them because they had cars and trucks and M&Ms in them. The cars were extremely cheap though, and fell apart on impact the first time the boys drove them off the table. But they didn't care. However, I have made a vow that I will never buy these pre-fab baskets again. I will buy and assemble all contents from this day on. Mitchell has proclaimed me "best Mom on the planet" and I cannot risk losing that status over sub-par Easter baskets!!!

The rest of the day (which was BEAUTIFUL, much like the several days preceeding and following it), involved outdoor play,

and lunch on the front stoop.

Easter 2010 - that's a wrap!!!!
