Beautiful Easter Day

The day started with the sound of the crib mobile and Drew reading a book in his room. In true Drew fashion, he must finish what he started and did not get up until he was done reading all 64 pages. He had gotten up, covered up baby May in the crib, turned on the mobile and began to read her a book.

We went to Grandma and Grandpa's for lunch and Daddy took Drew for a bike ride around their neighborhood. Drew has finally figured out how to peddle the bike, but still looks at his feet the whole time and needs someone to steer for him. He is getting there! Won't be long!

Coloring Easter Eggs - Easter 2009

Drew completely blew me away this year with the Easter eggs. He completely took over, knowing exactly what to do, leaving me with nothing to do but take pictures!

He had a system. He would pick up an egg, write on it (usually with his tongue sticking out), carefully put it on the dipper, put the egg in the coloring cup. He continued this until all 5 cups were full, then would take each out, then repeat. I was thankful that I had boiled 3 extra eggs, so he had 3 full rounds of coloring. I don't know what he would have done if he would have been three eggs short on that last round!

Easter Egg Hunt/Scramble - Farmers Market 2009

We headed out to the Farmers Market for the 2nd year in a row for their Easter Egg Hunt. I really think they should call it a scramble though. It is really brutal. They rope off a big area, dump a bunch of eggs in and then kids run in and get as many eggs as they can. The real hunt comes in when you try to find your child after the eggs are picked up!



It really seemed like there wasn't as many eggs this year, or maybe there was more kids, or maybe it was just total chaos! Drew only got about 5 eggs, but I think it was a little better than last year even though he got fewer eggs. Last year he was in the 2-3 year old division and they were allowed a "helper" in that division. I think it was a little more fair in the 4-6 year old division without helpers. It was still chaos though! Drew did seem to understand the concept this year though and he had a blast!

Easter Playdate at the Park

My mom's group had an Easter playdate at a local park complete with an Easter egg hunt, lots of yummy food, and playtime at the playground. It was a beautiful day and we had so much fun!
