We had such a fun Easter this year! Logan had a blast with the plastic eggs all season, and this weekend was no different.
Saturday we headed down to a Easter Egg Hunt/Brunch at Grandma Sheila & Papa Mike's house. All the little people had a blast! I was afraid Logan wouldn't hold his own against the big kids, but his bucket was just as full as Gage and Andrea's. Even Sarah found a few eggs to chomp on.
After we dumped the candy out of the eggs I threw the eggs back into the yard and Logan happily collected them again.
Saturday night Dave and I went on a hot Temple date night while Grandma Linda & Papa Bill played with Logan. When we came home Logan was walking Grandma down the street showing her his hood. It was so cute to watch them slowly meander down the sidewalk.
It was hot out, so the pictures show Logan in varying stages of undress... what can I say, we went through several outfits on Easter.
After a while Logan discovered our petrified rock pile (Dave's been meaning to put this stuff away). So we had to pose on the rocks.
Then we had to re-arrange them all over the yard. Logan loves rocks. He collects them in his sand pails and pockets. And at this point I gave up on pictures because we were getting DIRTY! So we went inside, stuck the Easter ham in the oven, and swapped out the sweater vest for a sun hat.
We headed over to the park for some serious sliding and swinging. We had so much fun! We probably played for an hour before we headed home to eat dinner.
We had took it pretty casual on food this year (mainly because I totally forgot to prep everything the night before). So we ended up making our first ham ever (with a crushed pineapple and brown sugar glaze), Red Potato Salad, Deviled Eggs, Asparagus, and Chocolate Pudding with Whipped Cream for dessert. The ham turned out fabulous (and I don't usually like ham). We were supposed to have Chocolate Mint Pie for dessert, but by the time I remembered, it was too late to make it!
Monday, Logan and I ran all our errands. Now that we're a one car family, Logan and I get the car once a week. So we went to Walmart, the Library, Costco, the bank, etc. Getting a weeks worth of errands done in one day.
Today we have Max with us again and things are going great! Max and Logan were on differing nap times (Max one long in the morning and a 15 minute in the afternoon, and Logan one long after lunch). They were waking each other up from naps and both ending up grumpy boys! So I talked to Max's mom and switched him to one long nap in the afternoons. Now things are going so much better for the boys!
When Max is supposed to go down for first nap, we go on a walk and the change of scenery keeps him from being grumpy. Logan just loves him! They have so much fun playing together.
Wow, that's a "casual" Easter meal?! Ha!! We were lucky to have ham and potatoes, and I forgot to make the deviled eggs, and we'd all had so much chocolate by that point that I skipped dessert, too. Haha.
ReplyDeleteCute little munchkins! How fun that Logan has so many cousins his age that live near.
Good luck with Max and only having one car! That is brave!
Come on, you know who my mom is! That was casual for us... no rolls, no first dessert let alone a second dessert, no second veggie or salad... we were practically neglectful ;)
DeleteWe only have Max 3 days a week and I found a double stroller on KSL for $25. So we now have access to several parks, 2 grocery stores, McDonalds and an ice cream shop. That's more than enough mobility for me! I made Max days at home days too (laundry, cleaning and baking days). So that helps!
