Happy Easter!

Here are Sawyer and Marissa at our neighborhood Easter egg hunt.  Here is Marissa helping Sawyer open some of his eggs.  Before the hunt started, I took the kids where the rest of the kids were waiting patiently for it to begin.  Sawyer was having none of that and proceeded to run out and try to grab at the eggs - he got so mad at me every time I stopped him.  When the hunt finally started he didn't care after he got the first egg about anything but opening that egg.  Marissa persuaded him to get a whopping three eggs!  Marissa, on the other hand, wasn't going to waste any time during her hunt and brought in quite the load!

Sawyer was being extremely difficult and walked away as soon as I set him down next to the sign.  Poor Devon didn't get to go because he had his first t-ball game at the same time.  The only reason I took the other kids was because Marissa promised to share half of her eggs with him.  Remarkably, he was fine with that!

Easter afternoon - we had 9 o'clock church so the kids got to find the colored eggs the 'Easter Bunny' hid after church.  Luckily, the 'Easter Bunny' hid the eggs just before we got home so the hard boiled eggs were still edible!

Here's Devon showing the Bumblebee legos he got in his basket - the night before we had a little mishap.  While I was reading scriptures with the older kids, Sawyer got a hold of some of Devon's small legos he had made into a car.  Marissa at one point tried to tell me Sawyer had the legos but I already knew and I didn't want her to interrupt scriptures.  I knew we would be done in a couple of minutes anyway.  Just as we were finishing up we all heard the toilet flush and went running to the bathroom - we found Sawyer standing by the toilet empty handed with the lego car nowhere to be seen.  Devon wasn't very happy.  Luckily, Ryan was on his way home just a little later that night and I made a call.  The 'Easter Bunny' was able to make an emergency stop please a little boy on Easter morning!
