On Friday, Grams went to school with us. In addition to helping me in the library, she hid plastic eggs for egg hunts and attended the boys' Easter parties.
Saturday was loaded with fun! We started the day with Parker's first baseball game.
Then we went shopping for Parker's belated birthday gift from Grams and Granddaddy. He picked out a Lego police boat which he and Grams put together that afternoon.
After the boat was built, it was time to dye Easter eggs. We had a blast using our new egg spinners which created some beautiful works of art.
Just to be sure that our day was completely fun-filled, Grams took us to the movies to see Rio. What a treat!
Parker woke us up at the crack of dawn on Sunday because he was so anxious to see what the Easter bunny had left. I was able to hold him off for about thirty minutes so that Hudson could sleep a bit longer. Upon entering the living room, the boys found candy and fruit snacks in their Easter baskets along with a new bouncy ball, Toy Story 3 Lego toy, and the movie Bambi. After some quick pictures, they headed outside to find Easter eggs. Parker was thrilled to find the prize egg, and Hudson was proud to show off the tomato that he picked while hunting eggs.
After examining their loot (the candy and coins that the Easter bunny left in their eggs), the boys splatter-painted a few canvases for the twins' room. What messy fun! I suggested a quick shower to wash off the paint, but the boys begged for a bath in the "big tub" so they could play with Parker's new police boat. Guess who won that argument.
Grams helped the boys put together their new Toy Story 3 Lego toy after a picnic at the park.
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. We were sad to see Grams go on Sunday afternoon, but were so thankful for the time that she was able to spend with us.
The splatter paint project is precious! What a cute idea!
