Boy was this a busy weekend for the little ones! Saturday began with the annual coloring of the Easter Eggs. Wesley did most of the coloring work, he really enjoyed himself. He had to use every sticker that came with the coloring kit to make "themed" eggs. One egg was a "girl egg" it had butterflys and flower stickers on it. Another egg was a "boy egg" it had soccer balls, baseballs, basketballs and a firetruck sticker on it. He also made an animal egg to go with his collection. We tried to let Bryan color eggs too because he was extremely interested in what was going on. I gave him an egg to put into the bowl and he dropped it in there pretty hard and escaped breakage. The second egg that he picked up, he threw really hard into the green coloring and hit the side of the bowl and cracked it in half. That was the end of his egg coloring career for the year.
On Easter Sunday the weather turned out to be beautiful - about 72 degrees. We went out in the backyard for our Easter Egg Hunt. All of the eggs that were found "on the ground" were going to be Bryan's because the Easter Bunny knows that he can't reach way up high. He didn't quite grasp the concept. He'd pick them up and instead of putting them in the basket he'd throw them right back down on the ground where he found it! Wesley ended up with most of the eggs and a TON of goodies. I think he was secretly pleased that he had the advantage being older and able to get more eggs than Bryan. =) After the hunt began the list of questions that popped into Wesley's head. (mind you he's just 4) He had important questions, 1. How did the Easter Bunny get into the backyard. 2. Why were the eggs just in the backyard and not the front yard. 3. What did the Easter Bunny travel in to get to people's houses with all of the baskets? 4. Did the Easter Bunny come down the chimney or come through the front door. There were more but I can't remember the other 10. LOL Later that afternoon we had grandma and grandpa come over for Easter "lunch" and had some yummy Easter food which was followed by yet, another, Easter Egg hunt over at our next-door-neighbors house where Wesley picked up some more goodies! It was a very sugar filled Easter indeed!
