Easter

Well the kids were so excited to participate in a couple of Easter egg hunts this year. Our community had an Easter egg hunt at our community park. They had all the kids line up and had all the eggs on the field numbered one through seven. Each child was supposed to find an egg 1-7 then go back to the line until everyone was finished then they would have a free for all for the rest. They said go and the kids took off, Deke attempted to keep up with Hunter while I watched Avery. She was so funny, kids are scrambling and running all around her and she was just taking her time, slowly picking up the eggs and showing them to me then putting them in her basket. When she first picked one up she saw the number on it and said "Look Mom, it's my 2!" From that point on it didn't matter what I said she would not pick up any other egg with any other number on it. Instead she insisted on getting her 2's. It cracked me up and even though we weren't quite following the rules it was pretty cute and neat to watch her scan through the piles to find all the number 2's she could. The highlight of the event however for me was when it came time for the games. One of the games was gunny sack racing. Hunter had never done it before and it proved to be more than entertaining. Deke got a shot of them jumping and accidentally caught someone's crack..oooops. He started the race jumping and falling and then jumping again. About mid way the bottom of his bag jumped out and he would jump then run until we would yell, "Hunter jump no running!" He just wanted to win so bad and to watch all the kids jumping as fast as they could and falling over the majority of the time was so hilarious. On Easter we went over and dyed eggs with Grandpa and Grandma McWhorter, Alec and the girls. It was a lot of fun the kids hid eggs, jumped on the tramp, colored, ate and we visited. Grandma and Grandpa gave Avery a cute little purse for Easter filled with pretend makeup. She spent all afternoon pretending to paint everyone's nails including Grandpa's. She also loved the chapstick that the Easter bunny brought her and went through about half the tube in one day. All Hunter wanted to do was play with his new HotWheels and jump on the tramp with Alec. It was a blast, the kids love going to see Grandma and Grandpa, uncle Alec and the Aunties.
