The Easter Egg Hunt

Kara and Brandon have their baskets ready (or bunny head in Brandon's case) and can't wait to hunt for eggs! Nathan and David had a Daddy & Me day scheduled in the city so B. Boy and I drove up the hill for a day of our own.

Plotting

"Hmm, now if I go over there, it's mostly girls, so I can probably clean house. Of course, I'll get into trouble for not letting the ladies go first, thereby forfeiting my eggs. So, I'm going to have to go over by those 3 year old boys (bully 3 year boys, I wish Nathan were here). Okay, I've seen alot at the back of Karate class so I know what to do."

This is basically what unfolded. As soon as the hunt started he stepped towards the girls who were being so dainty, seem to reasses, his eyes shifted towards those big boys cleaning house and he lunged towards them with purpose while starring them in the eyes and just went for it-- grabbing whatever eggs he could. Later when he was at the play structure, sifting through his bunny head adoring his loot("never count your eggs when you're sitting at the table") there was a little girl and he just handed one over with a big smile on his face.

Thank heaven for little boys!!!

Ohhh a Two-for!

Great strategy Brandon, go where the egg density is high:-) Amazing what these little activities will teach them.

Ready to Eat

With egg in hand and tongue out he's ready to taste the goodies inside!

My Little Man

My wee one is turning into a little man like his brother. Yesterday at Easter, my family couldn't believe how big he's gotten since his birthday. He's looking much more like Nathan these days, although they both still have their own unique (and perfectly handsome) look. Oh no, what will I do without a baby in my home?

What are little boys made of?

The boys made a"mud wagon" the other day. They were playing in the mud and I told Nathan to go get changed as he was a mess. So he did and made it back outside before I could see him. His attire: FLOODS! No shirt, shoes or socks, just floods (actually his jeans are size 3T that never made it into the awaiting Brandon bin).

So the question begs an answer...what are little boys made of?

Snips and snails and puppy dog tails. That's what little boys are made of!!!

Story Time

Sydney read the boys a story during a playdate. She really had their attention which was just fine with Janelle and I.
