He Has Risen!...(way too early!)

Notice the title?  Make it more like "1:30AM TOO EARLY!!"  Yes, you read that right.  Treyton was up at 1:30 in the morning, ready to hunt those eggs.  The bunny had gone to bed only an hour before that, so I completely lucked out!  This year was a little bigger than most, because Hadlee got a bike.  Normally, we just do the whole junk toys and candy, but since her birthday is in November, it makes it a little tough to give her a bike for no reason.  I had to make up for her big present (to make it fair) by giving Treyton a flag football set and Reeyin a bubble machine for the bathtub.  That leaves poor Maddex.  I had no idea what he "needed" that would still be somewhat cheap, so he got a pair of handcuffs and a watch.  He's wanted a watch for awhile, and the funny thing is, he doesn't even know all of his numbers yet!!

They had a blast all day, because after our hunt, we headed to my mom's for another hunt and dinner.  It was so fun watching all 13 cousins running like crazy to find their eggs!  Dumb me forgot my camera though!  I grabbed a few on my cell phone, but you can only zoom in so far with those.

Once again, we were on the road to my in-laws for one last hunt.  By the time we got home, my kids were sugared out, with probably $1000 in future dental bills.  Oh well.  Like a friend told me, that's a problem for "future Laura" to deal with.

Take care and I hope you have all enjoyed your long holiday weekend!!

Reeyin is thinking it's waaaay to early.  I'm with ya kiddo!



Maddex slept on the couch, so the bunny drew on his face!



Finally!  His own pack of gum!



And she found the bike!





I love Stab in the background of this one!  






Reeyin is being her typical sweet self, by politely asking me to open her crackers.  :)
