Oooh ..., originally uploaded by cheryl.
Easter came bright and early to our house. Connor wasn't quite ready for it, not yet anyway.
The twins had been up for a little while, but we were waiting on Daddy to make it home after his shift at the fire station, so Connor got to sleep in until about 7:30 Easter morning. He would have slept longer, but quickly got into the spirit of things (even if he does still look dazed in most of the photos from the day).
Xander was quite surprised and interested to see what the Easter Bunny had brought. There were hidden eggs with candy throughout the house, which was fun. And there were also toys and more candy on the dining room table. He was particularly excited about the bubbles, and once those were spied, nothing else could tempt him. Not candy or movies or toys. Bubbles.
Connor was excited to see all of the stuff, even the things that were not necessarily for him. His favorite, of course, was the Hot Wheels race track and the new color change Hot Wheels (this has made bath time the most fun ever for all three of the boys - two of them are interested in the cars, Sawyer is interested in the ice water we take in there to make the cars change colors).
Sawyer wasn't into Easter at all. He came out of his room slowly, made a stop at the bathroom (even though he had just been about 20 minutes before when I first heard him wake up), then finally made his way into the dining room. He promptly covered his hands with his ears and turned away. Not impressed.
We helped all three of the boys get their baskets and start looking for hidden eggs. Sawyer was dropping eggs into other people's baskets, not really caring where they went or who found what. Connor was hoarding them all. Xander would alternate between picking up an egg and coveting his bubbles. The bubbles ultimately won, as he put his basket down and Connor quickly called dibs. Sawyer eventually started lining up a few eggs, working on a pattern and then getting angry when they started rolling on him.
And that was our morning. The boys had a little bit of candy, but mostly were content to play with (or look at) new toys. The bubbles would have to wait, as it was still pouring down rain (which it's been doing for days and days in our part of the world). Next up was pancakes and bacon for breakfast, and then a lazy day around the house munching on more candy.
Happy Easter!
