Hunting Eggs

Annika was very into looking for her eggs this year.  The Easter Bunny hid about 3 dozen, and she got them all.  However, after opening about 1/2 of them she lost interest and began to play a game with Grandma Glenda.  So, I got the honor of opening the rest.  That just means I got to sample all the candy! Asher had fun too.  He liked playing with his new toys, especially the bunny Grandma got him.

Funville

Over spring break, we took the opportunity to take the kids to do some things with the kids that we normally couldn't during the week.  At Crown Center shopping area, they always have a free play area that they decorate in different ways every few months.  The theme this time was called Funville. In the town of Funville, kids could be part of the circus, doctors, veterinarians, a lifeguard, a surfer, even President.  Annika had a blast, even among the crowd.

Easter Baskets

The Easter Bunny visited and left pretty great gifts for the kids.  This year, Asher got a little blue basket, just like Annika's pink one to gather all of his eggs.  Next year he will get his basket for his gifts and will be able to use the blue one for eggs.  Annika got a couple pairs of flip flops, lego crayons, a chocolate bunny, a Scooby-Doo game, and two swords.  These swords are probably her favorite.  She will make anything into a sword to play with Derek.  She found an old pool noodle at Derek's pool and that turned into a sword.  So, I am very glad the Easter Bunny got her some "real" ones to play with. Asher also had a great basket.  He got a chocolate bunny, a cute outfit for summer, a little turtle toy, and some pacifiers.  His favorite were the pacifiers but I think eventually he will like the toy too!

Easter Eggs

Since Easter was close we boiled some eggs and got out the supplies to dye them.  I wasn't sure what to expect this year.  Last year we had a great time until the last egg, when she got dye all over her face.  The year before that she was so little that everything was a mess.  We had to scrub her in the tub right after just so her skin wouldn't stay blue.  But this year she was a pro.  She barley made a mess and even used a few different colors.  She colored 12 and then was done.  But she was sure proud of her 12.  Asher tried to play with one egg, but he will have to wait until next year to really get into the fun.  However, he did enjoy watching Annika.  Sorry for the drool (and tiny bit of formula) on his shirt.  If you are around him for very long, your clothes will look like that too.
