The weekend before Easter, I (super mom), bought the kids coordinating Easter outfits (plaid shorts and polos-of which you may never see a picture of). Saturday afternoon, I took them proudly (in jeans, because it was like 30) to the local farm store to see the Easter bunny. As soon as he appeared, Cooper FREAKED out saying, "Who's under there?" I tried to ignore it, and talk about how fun it was going to be and about the candy you get after you sit on the bunny's lap. Cooper, almost in tears, kept repeating, "I don't want to. I don't want to." AWESOME! So, he didn't. Carver, got sat on the bunny's lap, starting bawling, and so ONE picture was taken. End of story. So much the being super mom! When we got home, I tried to get pictures of them together (with an Easter basket-yay me), but that didn't go well either. UGH!
Late Saturday, Auntie Jenny came to town and she and Cooper and I dyed eggs! It was a first for me and Coop and we enjoyed it! They were hard boiled so Coop and Jenny enjoyed a snack afterwards, and the rest we just looked at all week! Cooper hated the color staying on his hands, so they were nearly raw by the time he went to bed from so much scrubbing. Jenny brought Cooper new socks (it's their special thing), and he proceeded to wear both pairs at the same time for almost a week before I got a whiff of them and made him take them off, so I could spray them with Lysol before washing them!Easter Sunday was spent at my parent's house. The kids enjoyed a few small gifts and playing outside together (there's a good four-wheeling picture when I find the camera). Gma Teresa & Gpa Tom loved having the family together to celebrate our Savior's resurrection!
We came home to the boys' Easter basket filled with a new swimming pool, pool boys, bubbles, and a shovel. They also got new red Jesup Gym t-shirts and a wagon (they don't know that yet though, because it has to be returned...it's missing a part).
Now, bring on the warm weather so we can go swimming!
