Before we headed to the tulip fest on Easter, we received a visit from the Easter bunny. The boys had fun searching for their Easter baskets and the colorful eggs hidden throughout the house. Owen didn't quite get what was happening but would get so excited when he'd find an egg (if we could get him to find it before Henry would dash in a grab it) and show it to us. Imagine his surprise when he realized it opened and there were treats of puffs and melts inside! Henry, on the other hand, was all business. He knew there were lots of eggs to find and he was going to find every last one, just don't get in his way! We tried to convince him to find the harder ones and leave some for Owen to find and he responded, "I want to get the eggs. But I'll share them with Owen later." While I'm flattered that he would care to share with his brother later, he didn't have much generosity in the moment. Ah, well, we have a few more years to work on that and thankfully Owen didn't seem to mind as he was busy breaking into the few eggs he had found!
After the tulip fest (and a short nap), we headed to a friend's house for a BBQ. Between our 3 families, we had 6 boys under the age of 5. Owen made a beeline for the cars, choosing to play with those inside while the other kids played outside. That kid sure loves cars!
However, with the promise of swings & a slide, we were able to coax him outside for awhile. But from time to time we would lose him for a minute and find him quietly inside lining up the cars before heading back outside to play some more. Too many fun things to choose from! And Henry spent all his time playing outside with his friends.
How cute is this little guy? Rogan, Owen thanks you for letting him play with your cars and swing set and being such an awesome friend to play with!
I consider it a miracle that we were able to get all the boys sitting for a group picture!
And what BBQ with 6 boys is complete without a water gun?
Such a perfect Easter with friends. And the weather wasn't too shabby either!
