The Easter Bunny made his way to our house despite the rain. yep, it was pouring when our sweet little boys woke up, so before they could go downstairs sneaky Big Daddy Rabbit hopped downstairs and hid all the "real" eggs. This could get tricky as they get older and we dye more eggs - it's hard to make sure they have found all those suckers! And since they are inside most years.. could you imagine the smell if one were to get lost? Ugh! Thankfully Big Daddy Rabbit remembered them all this year and these clever boys of mine found them! Here's a funny story... So last year my boys attended many an Easter egg hunt - so many in fact that I just stuffed baskets in my pantry with full plastic eggs still in them. Come Easter hunt time this year I pulled them down and found some old treasures and decided to recycle (some had money in them I would have been crazy not too)! But wouldn't ya know it my smart, doesn't miss a beat 5 year old (Jack) remembered a bouncy ball that he had gotten and when he got it again he said "hey we got these last year!" Now, keep in mind those have been in baskets, inside eggs for a year!!! And he still remembered them.. how am I going to keep him guessing as he gets older?! He has the best memory and pays attention to detail (he gets it from me). It's going to be hard to pull one over on him sooner than later. What a funny kid!
We didn't have any official big plans for the day, but before I knew we didn't have plans I ordered my boys shirts and ties for the big day. Of course they wanted to wear them and look just like Daddy does for work. Jack put his on first thing in the morning. And they wore them most of the day. They were shining in the spotlight when we visited Great Grams at her nursing home. She was so proud and happy to show off those two, what a fun day it was for all! We then headed back home to start a painting project (much to my dad's dismay) We decided to paint our mantel cream to match all the moulding in the family room, instead of leaving it cherry wood (I guess it's real, true blue cherry wood according to him) Oh well - it will be a nice surprise for someone in the future to discover that someday, we just decided to leave our own little piece of history as the first owners of this house. Sorry Dad!
Sugar and Papa made it home from the airport just in time to join us for a nice quiet Easter dinner. And of course the annual Muth Family Easter Egg fight.. Papa prevailed but Jack didn't go down without a fight. He used the whole dozen to try and crack Papa's one egg. Too funny, I think he's a little competitive like his mother. We may have to make him a crown too! :-))
It's time to go enjoy our first day of Spring Break. Oh boy!
Love, The Muths
