Easter

We had a lovely relaxing Easter weekend.

Friday night we dyed eggs. Logan was super excited about dying eggs when Brent got home that he couldn't hardly stand it.

Due to an impromptu decision to go to Tybee for the day on Sunday, the Easter Bunny came Saturday morning. He got the big boys exactly the same thing, but color coded everything so we knew whose was whose when they started fighting over them. Logan's was all blue, Nate's all green. They got sidewalk chalk, bubbles, water guns, sand bucket, big bouncy balls, flashlight, bat and ball (Logan), ball glove (Nate), one single pack of M&M's, and I'm sure a couple little things I'm forgetting. Of course the Easter Bunny couldn't leave Graham out. He got bunny ears, lotion, a stuffed bunny, a couple rattles and soft hand toys. Later that day we went to Brent's coworker's house for a little Easter gathering. They had a nice outdoor area so we all relaxed while the boys ran around creating mischief. We went to Easter service at church Saturday evening. After the Saturday services they had an Easter egg hunt. Poor little Nate had to hunt eggs with preschoolers (and their greedy parents! You wouldn't have believed the parents throwing eggs in their kids baskets, taking away from the other kids!) so he only ended up with 4 little eggs. He was so proud of those 4 eggs though! Logan, of course, got a basket full.

The best I could get....Nate was not having it!

Getting ready to hunt eggs.

Sunday morning we headed to the beach!! It only took us about 3 hours and that was stopping on the side of the interstate in the middle of no where to let Logan pee and stopping another time to let Graham eat. It was really more crowded than I thought it would be, but we had a great time anyways. The boys played in the sand, chased birds, put their toes in the water (too cold for swimming!). They played so hard and didn't have a nap, but were still in good spirits. We decided we were hungry so we headed for the car, changed diapers and clothes. Nate went first and he was asleep before I even got the other two changed. Poor thing was tired! Then, of course, all three of them are out before we make it 2 miles down the road to the restaurant. It's amazing what that 5 minute power nap can do for them, so of course the big boys were awake for most of the ride home. It was mostly a peaceful drive and we got some much needed family time!
