Happy Easter

I had big hopes for Easter.  I wanted to make each little a basket and hide eggs for them to hunt, but none of that happened.  Let’s face the facts they are 1 year 8 months and they will not remember any egg hunting or baskets.  So it really would have been for us not them, and I’m ok with not hiding eggs and making Easter baskets.  At daycare they had an Easter party and came home with eggs and baskets and candy AND that weekend we hid the eggs for practice.  Turns out Alexis is a star hunter while Max wanted to see just how many he could hold.  Aiden and Carolyn also picked them up, but would put them back on the ground in a different spot.     Then they discovered they could open them and jelly beans were all over the ground.  They ate some of them off the ground jelly beans covered in dirt and grass.  Yummy!

 

Nana sent them all really cute marshmallow frogs for Easter, and I still need to take a picture of them with them.  Hopefully I remember tomorrow! 

 

Today we went to the aquarium for something different to do.  The last time we went it was a huge success and everyone had a lot of fun.  This time…not so much.  We took them on leashes instead of in the strollers.

They aren’t use to walking with the leashes so they’d throw a fit at times because we wouldn’t let go of the tail.  Then they all wanted to go in different directions.  Maxwell wanted to go from animal to animal fast, and then go back to see everything slower.  The rest of the group focused on each area one time which was nice if I wasn’t the one holding the camera and Max.  HA!  So we didn’t get many shots in the aquarium like last time.  We switched kiddos from person to person because they would weave in and out of the crowd and tangle the tails.  They still had fun, and we’ll go back we just have to come up with a better plan of attack and practice more with the leashes.

Max and Carolyn

Max fell not long after this picture and was afraid to get too close to the glass from that point on.  He did better when he was standing on the floor, but anytime he was on a ledge he would get scared.

Aiden and Carolyn

Alexis wanted to be held the entire time, and was really fussy about the leash. 

Then we went outside and took some pictures with the frog.

Max wasn’t too sure about this guy. 

So I sat with him while Daddy took the pictures. 

Then he was OK.

Then it was time for me and C-Biscuit to take a picture.  Love her crazy faces!

Andy did a great job taking the pictures!

Aiden didn’t need me to sit with him, and Alexis was not interested at all.

Happy Easter everyone!
