Easter 2008

Easter was a lot of fun this year. Ryan is now old enough to really participate and Brock had a good time, too. We dyed eggs, which was quite an experience with a 4- and a 2-year old. Brock did pretty good with it, but Ryan didn't understand why you couldn't just slam the eggs on the table over and over again!!! We ended up with about 4 or 5 broken/cracked eggs and the rest we were able to dye!
Hunting for eggs was great, too. Brock kept finding all the eggs, so we would have to make him put some of them back so Ryan could find some. He did o.k. with that, but then he just started to find them and bring them to Ryan. We had to explain that Ryan actually liked looking for the eggs! He's a great big brother and we knew he was just trying to help Ryan.
The Easter Egg hunt itself takes quite a while at our house. With every egg they found, they had to open it and eat the candy before they would hunt for another egg! This didn't work so well when Ryan would find one of the real eggs...and try to "open" it. He would squeeze it, break it, realize there was no candy inside and then throw it back on the ground!!!
Here's Brock checking for candy before he moves on to hunting for some more eggs....

...and here's Ryan eating the candy straight from the egg! My boys don't mess around!!!

That was so cute! Checking out each egg would make for a L-O-N-G Easter egg hunt indeed!

Love the Easter pictures. I accidentally left one of the eggs with mini-M&Ms in it on the coffee table and Thomas helped himself. Mini M&M's all over the living room floor wasn't what bothered me. It was the ones he stuck up his nose! FYI: M&Ms may not melt in your hands, but they DO melt in your 2 year old's nose!
