Our Easter was a bit different this year. Curtis had to work and Marsha was out of town on vacation, which meant it was just me and the boys for the day! When I thought about it, I concluded that this might have been the first Easter not spent with extended family...Made me realize how thankful I am for them! And despite it being different, the day was actually a ton of fun-just me and my boys!
We had a little Easter fun while Dad was with us on Saturday and hit up the egg hunt in Canby with the Thorne family-Always a good time spent with them...

| This was William's first time dying eggs (o; |
 |
| The two little munchkins, Calvin and Jadrian (how much sand did you find in Jade's diaper Emily?) |
|

 |
| Here the boys are Easter day. I hid eggs in our backyard while the boys napped. You should have seen William's excitement when he woke up and saw colored eggs in the yard! |
 |
| Cute boy with his loot... |
 |
| His basket was overflowing, so he (although a bit hesitantly at first) helped fill Calvin's. |
 |
| Purposefully, I hid an egg that was empty. William and I had talked prior to Easter about why we celebrate it. Apparently the story stuck. When asked why the egg was empty he replied, "Because Jesus is ALIVE!" |
 |
| And because it was in the 70's and we had no agenda, why not a little yard work! The boys LOVE to help! |
 |
| "Yay for dirt!" (and riding in the wheelbarrow) |
 |
| Nothin' like a good 'ol play in the sawdust pile to end our day (we've got a HUGE pile of sawdust for our blueberry plants). |
 |
| I could never explain how much I love these two.... |
 |
| Now this is more like it... |
 |
| Showered, jammies and a big bowl of popcorn! |
It was such a good day-one you just reflect on and smile about (o;
Disclaimer: This post wouldn't be complete if I didn't add a bit of "reality" to it. Boys will be boys (o; There are no pictures of... the boys having a sawdust fight which ended in Calvin screaming because he kept rubbing his eyes with his hands which only put more sawdust in his eyes-poor boy. Then, when I went to put them in the shower, a handful of rocks fell out of Calvin's onsie...Knowing that he couldn't have put them there himself, I asked "William, what are these rocks doing in here?" W: "He likes it." (with a smirky smile and nervous laugh)
M: "You boys are so silly!"
W: "HA HA HA HA!"
Gotta love the antics. I know there will be plenty more where that came form!
