Easter Saturday

We asked the Easter bunny to come early this year, as Dobby is on Worship Team at church tomorrow, so he wouldn’t be around to watch the hunt if it was in the morning. The bunny obliged, and when naptime was over, the kids discovered that he had hidden some treasures around the backyard. Some were chocolate eggs, some were fuzzy pens (Sabrina’s holding a green one in the bottom right of the collage), and some were sidewalk-chalk bunnies, as Malcolm is discovering in the picture above.

After the hunt, Noah and Isaiah (and their mom and dad) came over to help decorate some Rice Krispie eggs. The kids were all quite focused on the task.

Sabrina didn’t want Isaiah to be left out, so she was feeding him bits of her egg as she worked – he stayed quite close to her chair after that!

Proudly displaying their handiwork!

Tomorrow, when Grandpa and Grandma are around, we’ll all help to consume these treats (along with a bit of paska!).

If anyone read the last post, you saw Malcolm getting busy helping to make something. We are now ready to reveal what the project is. This is the spot where it was destined to go.

The bottom is on, and the seats are being put in the corners…

It’s a new sandbox!! We are very happy about this! Dobby did a great job on it, Uncle Greg took the boys in his truck to get the load of sand yesterday, and now we can play! I’m just not sure how I’m going to keep all that sand from ending up in my kitchen (since that’s where the back door leads into). Oh, well, I guess I’ll just be sweeping more!
