HaPpY EaStEr!

We had a great Easter this year. Minus Shay's 7 year old attitude. But that's not what this post is about. It's about all of the fun we had.
Saturday we took the kids to the egg hunt that was at their school. While we waited for it to begin we let them play at the playground.



They got a lot of candy from the egg hunt.

Once all the eggs were found we headed into the gym for some games.

This is the cake walk, neither one of them won, but that was OK, the cake was actually just a twinkie....so gross!

And then they got their pictures with the Easter Bunny. I was actually shocked that Shay did this. She still hates anything dressed up. But she said "you can totally tell it's fake Mom" So I guess that's why she was brave.

We entered the kids name in a drawing to win a Easter Basket. Here they are waiting for the results.

And guess who won!!!!

I actually put both of the kids name on every ticket we entered. So technically both of the kids won but they only read Britton's name so Shay wouldn't have her picture with it. (attitude remember)
Shayna was still feeling sad when we got home so we decided to make Easter treats. We wanted to make Rice Crispy treats in the shape of eggs. I will NEVER do this again. It was so messy and took forever and they didn't even turn out...see.

We ended up just dumping the rest of the rice crispys into a dish and calling it good.

Later that evening we headed over to my parents house for egg dying and dinner.
I made the kids wear their pajamas. I knew it would be a late night and I also didn't want them to get dye on their clothes.

We ended up with four dozen. Anybody want to come to my house for an egg eating party?

When we got home the kids left the Easter Bunny some food and a note. In the note they asked if the Easter Bunny was a boy or a girl. I kept telling them it was a boy and that is name is Peter Cottontail. But Shayna said that the person who wrote the song probably didn't know for sure so they just wrote lyrics that sounded good...So, hence the note.

Sunday: It's Easter Hip Hip Horray!

The Easter Bunny filled the baskets with candy and Britton got new shoes

and Shayna got a new swim suit.

The Bunny also left a note for the kids saying "you've been egged" and it's true, there were eggs hidden all over the house. And of course they were filled with more candy.

The Easter Bunny also left a note asking the kids what they wanted to do for the day. Their choices were to see the show Hop starring the Easter Bunny himself or go swimming.

We ended up going to see Hop. It was a cute show. The kids really enjoyed it and it was fun to do something different. We seriously NEVER go to the movies. Britton ate an extra large tub of popcorn all by himself. I really wish I had a picture of that.

And SURPRISE when we got home we found out that the Easter Bunny returned with yet more candy.

I think that Shayna woke up too early on Easter Morning (6:30) so the Bunny couldn't finish his job. He must have had to wait until we left the house to finish up.....or something like that. (Thanks Mom and Dad!)

P.S. The Easter Bunny responded to the kids not and in fact he is a boy and his name is Peter. (does anyone not agree?)
