Easter preparations

Once we were recovered from our mini vacation it was time to prepare for Easter. Eggs were boiled, dyed, decorated, broke and eaten. Fortunately Jamison has decided to like hard boild eggs so we had a great morning snack. Peter on the other hand does not care for them but made sure that Jamison and I had plenty for our snack. In our house E. Bunny stops by on friday to pick up the eggs that we decorated. Well, this year it appeared that he stopped for a rest on our couch and then was startled by Wini and took off running. While running he dropped eggs all over the back yard. Luckily we had Wini in the kennel as we did not want a repeat from last year. (Wini took off after E. Bunny and was gone for the most part of a day. When she returned she was super stinky and needed a bath.) There were eggs everywhere! some had candy, some had money and a couple had cool cars!Daddy already is negotiating for the chocolate covered peanut butter eggs.

The Easter Bunny hid the baskets pretty well this year. Jamison was convinced that his was going to be in the same corner as last year. "The easter bunny likes to hide them on corners and behind doors" says Jamison. So it worked when I told the boys that they had to clean up the house, even the corners, so the bunny can find places to hide.

E. Bunny brought the jumbo box of pokemon cards.....crack for kids. He also brought a bird house to paint, which the boys were able to set the cards down for a few minutes to paint them. They are now in the trees right outside the dining room window!

Gma and Gpa Van came down for Easter Day. We had ham, crepes deviled eggs and asparagus! Yum! and for dessert a Bunny cake! Peter asked to eat the head, Jamison asked for the neck and Gpa asked for the rump...he said it was the best part! Now all we have left is his lower abdomen. Yuck!

We also showed gma and gpa how we are doing on our bikes. Please enjoy the footage provided by gpa. Dont be alarmed, no one was injured during the making of the videos although Gpa was quite surprised a couple times. Jamison was quite proud of himself. While riding he was chatting "Im riding, uh hugh, Im doing it, oh yeah!" He then asked when he can take the bike off road. I reminded him that he first have to learn how to turn and THEN maybe we can talk about off road.
