Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt '11

Last year we took the kids for their first Easter Egg hunt. The two kids wondered aimlessly through the field and right past all of the eggs. Mimi, Grandpa Rick, Chris and I were tasked with the job of scooping up the eggs and putting them in the kids' baskets. This year I wanted the kids to be excited about the egg hunt and have a vague idea of what was going on. I bought some eggs and put 1 M&M in each egg and hid them in the living room while the kids were napping. It definitely did the trick because the kids were shoveling the eggs in the basket. They both got quite the haul.

Fern Bluff Elementary Carnival

We took the kids to the local elementary carnival to support our future school. I read online that there was going to be a train ride, but when we got there I found out that they were not there this year. Luckily, there was a giant slide and a bounce house. Audrey does not understand the concept of "waiting your turn" or "taking your turn" so she had a major baby break down prior and after her trip on the slide and in the bounce house. It was not pretty. Jackson had his break down after he crawled out of the bounce house early and his spot was taken by another kid. He was not a happy camper. After that we realized that it was time to go home. I am not sure if we will brave the carnival again next year but we will see.
