Coloring eggs the night before Easter.
Waiting...waiting....waiting...
It took Alex about 2.5 seconds to figure this out.
Easter morning came and we had to wake the boys up.
They were happy to report they heard noises all over the house during the night. Like hopping noises! Sure enough, the Easter Bunny came for a visit and was happy to find the carrots and jelly beans we left for him.
He left all sorts of surprises for the boys in their own special Easter Bag-sket.
Max and Alex coloring in their new coloring books....by the light of their new lantern. (And THAT is Alex's new smile. Lovely, eh?)
After a busy morning of bag-skets, church, lunch-ish/brunch-ish, coloring, playing and a little resting time it was finally time to start the Easter Egg hunt.
Inside one of the eggs was a clue to the SPECIAL TREAT for both boys. Max was not thrilled with the idea of putting down candy and coins to read something. But, he quickly got into it.
CLUE #1: Find the truck that says "BURBABA BURBABA...."
That led them to a book of truck sounds. On the garbage truck page, there was another clue.
CLUE #2: Maybe Obi will know where to find the next clue!
After asking the dog where the next clue was...uh...she suggested we read the pink clue on her crate.
CLUE #3: Where do you watch the Megasaurus videos?
They ran over to the computer where they can spend a loooong time watching Monster Truck videos on you tube. The favorite one this week is of Megasaurus.
CLUE #4: For your next clue, go to where big boys go potty.
"Oh...giggle...da twoi-let!" (We had a feeling this one would get a little laughter).
CLUE #5: Go to where you sleep tight and have sweet dreams!
That led them to their bedroom and their final clue.
CLUE #6: Last Clue! Almost there! When daddy packs his lunch for work he puts it in this big green box.
They ran (like full speed ahead!!) to the kitchen to find Erik's lunch box. Inside was the new Chuck & Friends movie...the one we've been searching for...and just couldn't find...anywhere! That Easter bunny. So smart!
Having a great Easter!
Happy Easter to you too!

What a fun Easter! Love the clues...that should become a tradition! Also think Alex's new smile is pretty cute.
Too cute. I love all the work you did to create a fun day. Love Alex's new way to pose for pictures.
