Happy Easter!
Today was another good day in our book. We started the morning with a visit from the Easter bunny. The boys were excited to see new baskets sitting on the table, filled with treats. The big hit for Cody was a new magna doodle, "Just what I wanted!" Tyler received more Thomas trains and proclaimed "Choo-Choo!" with a big, goofy grin.
From there we headed over to our friends house for the annual Easter potluck and egg hunt. We brought the sticky bun/pull aparts that were wonderful and gooey thanks to my Mom's help. We had a nice spread of food, none of it good for you, but delicious all the same. The dads went out and hid all the eggs in the front yard, then we let them go! The littlest ones were first out the gate, so off Ty and I went to hunt some eggs. I finally convinced him to pick some up and put them into his basket, he realized it was kind of fun.
After the hunt we sat on the lawn and opened the eggs to see what prizes were inside. Cody of course dove head first into all the candy he could until we finally had to take his basket away. Luckily it was a beautiful day and we were able to let them run around and play for almost an hour. It was a great time, so much fun that the boys didn't want to leave.
Our next stop of the day was to my In-laws for some much needed rest/nap time, more playing outside and Easter dinner. Cody didn't nap, but laid on the bed for almost 2 hours, so that was enough to recharge his batteries a bit. Ty went out like a light within about 10 minutes. Once they were awake they played outside until dinner, Grandma made them both an Easter basket full of outside sand type toys, so they were in heaven.
Grandma put out the full spread of ham, rolls, potatoes, deviled eggs, pie and ice cream. I ate way too much, but it was all too wonderful to pass up.
It was a gorgeous day today so we spent the rest of the afternoon on the back porch with the boys. We gave them buckets and a hose, turned on just enough for a trickle and they were occupied for about an hour. Then we broke out the bubble wand and some dish soap, there went another 45 min. With much sorrow, we headed for home, pouty Cody in tow.
We had a wonderful Easter, despite the handful of overtired meltdowns. So wonderful they were in bed by 7.
