Our Easter Bunny threw us for a loop this morning!
Our Easter Bunny setup an elaborate egg/ scavenger hunt at our house this year. It was 7am when Roy woke up and couldn't find his basket. He quickly noticed the small pile of eggs in the middle of the livingroom with a half eaten carrot next to them... Tearing into the eggs, he found a note suggesting that he check the laundry room but we made him go get his brother before he continued.
In the laundry room they found a similar pile of eggs which contained candy and another note suggesting they look in the dishwasher. The hunt took them through the entire house a couple of times. And the bunny was very devious, sending them from the upstairs to the downstairs and back upstairs, outside, etc. About halfway through Roy thought he might like to hurt the bunny if he ever found him. Joey had given up by this point and was digging into the candy filled eggs from the piles Roy had already moved away from.
After the 10th note they located the loot cleverly hidden in each of their closets. Roy got a basketball hoop that hangs on his door and sasses him when he misses and throws the ball back to him if he makes it. Joey got a gigantic bubble wand which took us some practice to get the hang of. The bunny was forgiven at this point.
To help the boys burn off sugar rush #1 we went to the tennis courts and the park. We've been playing tennis against the house or across the street so being enclosed and on a level surface rocked.
Back at home we all had a light snack to tide us over until our 2pm Easter dinner invitation from down the street. The boys were pretty tired but unable to nap so we had a little Wii time while Daddies closed their eyes.
Dinner was a trip... our friends down the street are from Italy and all of their friends were either Italian or Mexican so we were the minority in speaking only English. I feel like I'll be dreaming in Italian tonight...
We ate our pasta course, an amazing leg of lamb, had a break for another egg hunt, and finished with espresso and dessert. There were 7 kids there totally hyped up on sugar rushes #2 & #3 so when it came time to leave there were tears aplenty but everyone had a great time. We always have a great time with them and their friends and a little adult conversation (even if I do not understand all of it...) makes for a nice weekend.
Next weekend we have tickets to see Wicked - I cannot wait!!!
Roy's baseball team is rocking along. This passed week they played the only undefeated team in the league and scared the crap out of them by tying it up in the 4th inning. We ended up losing but it was a great game and Roy loves machine pitch, and Joey just loves running around with the other little brothers...
