This morning Emily and Isaac were up early and we had to wake up Ben and Joey in order for the Easter items not to be torn into. The boys were afraid the Easter Bunny forgot them because he left the baskets in a different spot then he normally does. I think it was because of an active little Sister. The kids were excited with the items that the got. Joey told Mom a couple of weeks ago that he wanted the Easter Bunny to bring him really nice crayons. Ben wanted as many toys as he could, of course. Joey was very excited to get his nice crayons. Joey got a Yoshi Mario Brothers movie, nice crayons, a coloring book, 2 gold eggs with $1.00 in each, battle force five cars. Emily got 2 gold eggs with $1.00 in each, a pink bunny rabbit (which she picked out at the store) a mickey mouse book, and little Einstein’s dvd. Ben got 2 gold eggs with $1.00 in each, Battle force five cars and movie, a star wars game for his leap frog and a ninjago reading book. Isaac got a big stuffed lion and a teething toy.
The kids The kids participated in two Easter egg hunts on Saturday. They went to the primary aged kids Easter Egg hunt, not put on by the ward but by the old primary president. She had done it last year so it was nice to have it done again this year. The kids had a blast. They told the kids to go and Emily just started running but she didn’t know why. It was cute. When all was said and done I was looking for Joey because all of the kids were gathered in a group looking inside the eggs. I look over in the distance by the house and Joey is at the table eating and drinking orange juice. Only my little Joey would find food more interesting than his candy. The second Easter egg hunt we went to at a friends and Emily knew what she was looking for. Ben was taking charge on the trampoline with about 6 kids. They were older and listening to him. I was trying to figure out if he was being bossy or persuasive but I think it was the latter. The kids were so excited. Ben came home from the first hunt and divided his candy evenly between mom, dad and himself. When we told him to keep the candy because he could have it for days to come he basically said that sharing made him happy. Grandma Jill and Aunt Sara sent the kids a fun box for Easter. I originally had a picture of each of the kids with the binky teeth but my camera didn’t save it. So for an early birthday present I had to go and buy a camera. Does it surprise anyone I had to buy another camera. Aarrggghhh. Oh well. It was a good week. Eric goes back to work tomorrow and I am not ready for him to go. It was nice to have him off for 3 weeks. I am nervous about taking Ben to school all on my own and being alone with 4 kids for the first time.
