Happy Easter

Shaun had great plans to get up before the kids woke up this morning to hide Easter eggs. He was pretty much on schedule as he dragged his tired self out of bed, until he dropped a plastic Easter egg and spilling it's contents all over the noisy wood floors. So much for sneaking around the kids. Luckily they are still easily distracted and agreed to cuddle in Mommy's room...and Shaun was able to get the eggs hidden. They also insisted on getting dressed in the new clothes that Grandma sent before getting their baskets. They were excited to get their basket and they rushed outside to find the eggs the Easter Bunny had hidden.
Shaun would periodically empty their baskets, one to check how many we still had to find and two, cause Annie doesn't seem to understand carefully. One egg really bit the dust as Annie threw it into her basket... and it wasn't a hard boiled one. Of course they were disappointed when they found the last egg, but they quickly got over it as Shaun taught them to keep re-hiding the plastic eggs for each other to find. Shaun has been my favorite person to watch today. He doesn't seem to want to participate much in most of the holidays, but he seems to really like being the Easter Bunny, and he has so much fun turning back into a little kid as he plays with Annie and Alex.
