Originally Lucas wanted me to take a picture of him and the Easter Bunny he drew but for some reason each time I look at this picture the first thing I see is someone else's squishy tail. Both boys love drawing on the white board no matter what time of day and we obviously don't have any dress requirements. ;) With all the school papers & artwork Lucas already brings home from preschool it is nice to have the board to doodle on and I feel good about not using so much paper.
Each year on the evening before Easter Sunday we boil the eggs that will soon hold many variations of artwork from the McCormack clan. This year we got to decorate 12 extra eggs that would eventually become the deviled eggs we planned to take with us to the Armstrong's house for Easter dinner.
Lucas liked to have multiple eggs dyeing at the same time while Landon preferred to tie-dye his eggs by drizzling the many different colors on his eggs. Steve and I did manage to unleash some of our artistic talent on a couple of the eggs before Lucas dubbed the rest of the eggs for himself.
Our dyeing kit came with a sheet of teeny tiny stickers that Landon tried so desperately to apply to his eggs. This managed to keep him busy long enough for us to get the mess cleaned up and then some.
I loved watching his chubby little fingers try to get those little stickers off. He would get one undone only to have it stick to himself or the counter which he would then intensely work at getting it off that surface so he could try to get it on his egg which it didn't stick to anyway.......... We are still finding those little stickers everywhere but that's ok because he enjoyed every minute of it.
The fingers of a two year old and a five year old.
Easter morning the boys woke up nice and early and came into mom and dads room around 6:30 a.m. We told them they had to lay in bed with us until the 6 turned into a 7 and believe me it was exactly 7:00 when we rolled out of bed.
Lucas was thrilled to see that the Easter Bunny had brought him a new G.I. Joe and Star Wars character.
Landon was thrilled that the eggs were finally filled with candy and proceeded to have a very nutritious breakfast. He also liked the Grave Digger truck the Easter Bunny brought him.
Sunday evening we headed to Sarah, Matt, Sean & Gracie's house for a delicious Easter dinner. Sarah had made a yummy ham, twice baked potato's, green bean casserole and we brought a salad and deviled eggs. We also had the most delicious chocolate pie for dessert. After dinner we all enjoyed a much needed walk around the block and then played a mean game of soccer.
