Happy Easter, Everyone! Elise and Steven have both been sick most of the week, and Elise had to miss preschool on the day of her class Easter Party so she was quite upset. I have tried to do some fun things for Easter this week to make up for it. We colored Easter Eggs, had an Easter Egg Hunt inside in pajamas because they were too sick to go outside (and who said gummy worms inside of Easter Eggs were bad for sick kids - it was all I happened to have on hand for an impromptu egg hunt, so oh well), and "Cinderella" helped me make a Bunny Garland and hang it from the fireplace to decorate - she painted the eyes and noses on about half of them. The kids are finally feeling mostly better, and I hope Elise has forgotten that she had to miss her Easter Party at school. I hope everyone else has a great Easter Sunday!
On Easter we got to go to my grandparents house for dinner, and the kids had an Easter Egg Hunt with some of my younger cousins and my cousins' children. They loved it! Elise must have filled her whole basket with eggs, and was totally into running around and collecting as many eggs as possible. Steven, on the other hand, went about things totally differently. Everytime he found an egg he would sit down on the grass and open the egg to see what was inside. If it was quarters he would just throw them on the grass and move on. After all, what good is money to two year old? If it was candy he would sit down, take out his binky, put the candy in his mouth and eat it before he would move on to find another egg. He came away with way less eggs than any of the other kids, but he was totally pleased with his egg hunt experience so no worries! At first I was actually trying to speed him up so that he could get more eggs, but then I thought, why do I want him to have more eggs? How much candy does a two year old need, and he obviously could care less about the money so we may as well let someone else have it. It cracks me up how different these two kiddos are though!
