HAPPY EASTER!!

Happy Easter, the boys woke up at about 6:00. I was mean and made them wait until after I showered and they changed and ate breakfast to go on the hunt for whatever the Easter Bunny hid.They were ok with it, which surprised me. Brett told Brady that they had to change and eat and brush teeth first, and Brady even agrred, WOW! They had a fun time running around the house, looking for Easter stuff. The Easter Bunny put stuff in shoes, the cupboards, the oven, lunchboxes, and closets. I think Brady found more baskets and Brett found more eggs, so it evened out.

Egg Coloring

We colored eggs Friday, so that Bryan could join in on the fun. He went to Missouri on Saturday morning, so he missed Easter with us. They had fun coloring eggs, the boys are pretty good at it. They could hardly wait to have the Easter Bunny hide them and then they could find them. Brett is especially proud of the one egg he is holding up in the one picture. He dyed it 3 colors and was upset when he couldn't find it right away this morning. The Easte rBunny was kind and wrote down all the places he hid the eggs, one year we couldn't find one, so ever since he has been keeping a list of where they are, so they don't stink up the house.

Our Sleeping Beauty

Brady can fall asleep anywhere, as is evident in these pictures. The one of him on the rocking chair is right after 5:00 p.m.. Bryan just got home from work and I thought brady was being funny. pretending to be asleep but the joke was on me, he actually did fall asleep. He must have been tuckered out from school. The one of him in our bed was about 7:00 one night. They like to go up in our room to watch TV if they don't like what we have on, and he fell asleep shortlly after crawling in bed.

Brett's Dinsosaur

Brett has a really cool teacher this year, Mrs. Bell. He really likes her and she understands him, so they work well together. Her husband comes in and helsp with classroom activities. They make the classroom feel like a home. Anywho, Brett made a triceratops with the help of Mr. Bell. That is Brett's favorite dinosaur. I think it turned out rather nice. I remember reading all kinds of books on dinosaurs that Brett would bring home from the library, and thinking man, you need to bring something else home, it was hard trying to sound out some of the names, but I did it the best I could, and now I kind of miss reading those books, he brings home Star Wars now. Guess it is true what they say about if you wish for somehting it may come true.

Squadron Easter Party

We had the Squadron Easter Party yesterday. I helped plan it with 2 other spouses. We had a fun time getting the eggs stuffed with candy, and hid. We had about 500 eggs,we wanted to make sure we had enough for all the kids. Well, little did we know that there would only be 11 kids there. We were a little disappointed with the turn out but it was their loss. The kids had a ball running around the hallways looking for eggs. The boys had their baskets full to the brim, we had to carry some of them. We also had them playing Bunny Bingo, which is always a fun time. I think we had a prize so each child got something, which turned out good.Brady had so much fun he fell asleep on the couch with his Patrick pillow. We had a fun time, regardless of the turn out, seeing the kids enjoy themselves was all worth the planning.

On a side note, I took Brett to the ER after I got home from the party. He had slepped on the ice and fell and hit his head. He seemed ok , but was rather quiet and not hungry, nothing like he normally is, so I got concerned and thought about Natasha Richardson and decided to take him right away.We waited there for about 4 hours, and in that time he started acting like his old self. He got checked out, and was declared OK. We were hungry and decided to go to McDonald's in North Pole to have supper, at 9:00pm.I told him thia was like a dte or something, and he got all embarassed and told me to be quiet. The only thing that sucked for him was that he missed a friends birthday party. They were going to go glow putt golfing. I said I would have you checked out and be othing then for you to have an issue at the party and he agreed. Maybe he got some snse knocked into him from the fall.
