Easter Weekend

Saturday

An Easter egg hunt and picnic at the park:

For some unexplained reason I have a strong preference towards Easter baskets without the handle, so Tessa was forced to use a gift bag.

Max had a school Easter party on Thursday, and I sent him with a bag to put his eggs in. His sweet teacher felt sorry for him and gave him this bucket to use and keep instead.

Oh how sweet and matchy-matchy.

Tessa has a whopping two eggs in her special Easter bag. Max had maybe seven. (He would have had more, but I took four out of his bag and threw them on the ground to have Tessa pick up since I felt so bad for her. As I was pointing out these eggs to Tessa another parent ran over with his kid and had him pick them up. I got a good laugh out of that.) My kids were happy with their eggs, and I hate plastic eggs anyway, so it was all good.

I have a very difficult time getting a good picture of the three of them. This day was no exception.

Later that day we met up with the Morris family at a different park. Max, Logan, and Declan rode their bikes while Tessa took off on her wiggle car. Then we made a last minute stop at a bike shop to buy Max a bigger bike that we planned on giving him for Easter. We drove over to Snuffers and Logan and Declan ate a raw hamburger (which of course was noticed after nearly all of it was consumed...but they're still alive so all is well) and everyone else had a delicious meal. By the time we got home it was past 10, but Tyler still had to run to Wal-Mart to get scooter for Tessa for her Easter. But then he got home and we both told each other how it felt like a bike and scooter was way too much for Easter. So we decided against the bike/scooter and put together their very simple (and normal) Easter baskets.

Side note: Max really does need a bigger bike so we kept it, and Tessa is getting her scooter as well. We're just using them now as enormous bribes because we are good parents like that.
