After a family trip to Park St. on a beautiful Easter weekend, we enjoyed playing outdoors, a special meal, pictures and a little egg hunting. A wonderful day! Owen was completely disobedient all day with regard to eating his candy. TOTALLY NAUGHTY! We kept telling him he could only have, say, one egg before lunch, and I'd find him in the corner wolfing down chocolate! Ooh boy. It was hard, because something just doesn't feel right about time-outing the kid over and over about a gift he's not supposed to touch?? I think my Dad might have him on a constant sugar high due to butterscotch dispensation and he was trying to keep himself from crashing since my parents drove to Baltimore to visit Deb this weekend. (Just kiddin', Dad ;) Anyway, I figured out why parents do egg hunts...what entertainment! It was fun to watch him be 100% full-tilt excited about finding eggs around the yard. "A YELLOW ONE!!!! Daddy, aNOTHer yellow one!!! And a GREEN ONE!!! Wow, isn't this so neat, mommy???!"

Totally fun. We had candy everywhere (and I mean that literally). I usually just let them eat as much as they want so that it goes away faster, but Lachlan can make such a mess (he doesn't take the wrappers off first) that I had to pick it all up and take it away.
What a great reader! Way to go, Owen!
