Easter 2011

We kicked off the weekend with an Easter Egg Hunt. 

L waiting for the starting whistle.  She’s gotten to be quite big, but this picture still made her look like my little girl!

S waiting for the start – she’s finally stopped insisting on her Pebbles’ ponytail, and the past few days she’s requested “one in the back, like Mommy’s.”

Actually, it turned out to be more of an Easter egg scramble.  I took the girls over, with J in my sling.  Since L is in the 4-6 yr category, we went to the 4-6 yr area.  If I were to do it again, I’d take both girls to the 0-3 category, where S should have been.  It was a vicious! I’ll try and sum it up for you: the parents around us were telling their kids before it started, “Go as fast as you can, get as many eggs as you can!”  It was probably over less than 60 sec after it started, and L was upset because she’d only managed to get 3 eggs.  S, on the other hand, was pretty happy with her 3 eggs - she worked hard for them!  Luckily, they had people handing out toothbrushes, and L cheered up at the sight of one with princesses on it.

When L had her second Easter, she got this basket and promptly turned it into a hat, with the handle under her chin.  S used it that way, too.  And our dear J already has a head too big to fit in it!

  Of course, we had to dye Easter eggs … L asked why we were going to kill the eggs.  He he, clever girl.

The Easter Bunny came sometime last night.

J didn’t have much use for his basket, but his sisters were more than willing to help him with his toys.

Happy Easter!
