We had a nice, yet quiet Easter. With part of my family out of town, we just did Easter by ourselves yesterday. Ricky was very excited about the Easter Bunny coming and had been letting me know for weeks that the Easter Bunny would be bringing him a basket with eggs and a train in it. So no one was surprised that he and Billy had new train cars in their Easter baskets! After church and dinner (complete with made-from-scratch carrot cake with cream cheese and pecan frosting, thank you very much) we went out back and let the boys hunt down some eggs. Billy was more interested in the dirt pit (hopefully it will be grass again soon–stupid septic tank) than the eggs, which just left Ricky all the more fun. We are still lucky in that Ricky isn’t a candy eater, so his fun was just finding the eggs–most of which had last Easter’s candy still in them! And unless I get ambitious (not likely) that candy will be stored in the eggs again until next year! Daisy did manage to get herself some of the candy before Ricky got all the eggs!
Ricky is very cute at singing “Here comes Peter Cottontail” and since we don’t ever remember the rest of the words, he has a great time making them up! Here are a few shots from our day.
Poor, poor Daisy. It is hard to be so loved!
This egg is flying! Billy has a great arm and he shows if off, frequently. When he gets mad, watch out!
Our boys love cats. Maggie questions whether or not this is a good thing.
And here they are making music with their boxes of Whoppers. Who needs to eat the candy when it makes such excellent instruments!
Those boys are so darling. They’ve got great smiles and good-lookin’ features.
Happy Easter.
