Happy Easter! Adam has spent the past week trying to figure out where the bunny was going to hide his and Luke’s baskets. The first place he checked this morning was the bathtub (that’s where the Easter Bunny hid them last year). His second stop was the dryer.

He wasn’t impressed to find it full of laundry. (I never am either buddy.)

After some thinking, he was able to find Luke’s basket.

It was hiding inside the jumperoo – because bunnies like to hop you know.

It wasn’t long after that, with some hints from daddy, that Adam found his basket in the TV stand.

Okay, so technically they weren’t baskets, they were bags that I made. They did the job though, and will be much easier to store than baskets. We even have a third one ready to go for next Easter – it just needs a name.

Both boys loved opening the eggs and seeing what was inside. Adam refilled his several times and acted just as surprised each time.

I got the disk with the rest of our Easter pictures in the mail today. So here they are!

Whenever I do laundry, Adam turns in to the “Laundry Beast”. He steals the piles of clothes as I fold them and demands “more laundry” in a growly monster voice. The best part about this game is that he puts the clothes away. He knows where all of my, his, and Luke’s things go and can put away everything but the clothes that get hung in the closet (Dave does his own laundry – he’s good like that).

Now, the piles don’t always end up neatly folded in the drawers, but I’m totally okay with that. Adam loves “stealing” the clothes and it’s fun for both of us (plus it’s less work for me). It does take a little longer to get the laundry done, but I love that he’s helping with chores and having fun at the same time. While he waits for the piles to appear I have him work on sorting socks (that’s my least favorite part of folding clothes). He gets really excited each time he finds a match.

Luke tries to get in on the fun sometimes too. His version of laundry beast involves grabbing random clothes and shoving them in whatever drawer he’s able to open. It’s much less helpful, but still cute. He is much better at helping me move the clothes from the washing machine to the dryer.

And just so I don’t end this without a picture, here’s one of Luke and Aunt Stacy from Saturday.

It has nothing to do with laundry, but they sure are cute.

Supposedly, tomorrow is the first day of spring.

I think someone missed the memo.

Adam insisted that all his friends sit on the couch this morning. Then he decided it was a mountain and scaled it repeatedly.

I think Luke was just excited to have some new things to snuggle with – he’s a cuddler, that boy.

These kids are something else – weird, but still pretty cute.

That hat was made for Adam by my Aunt Cathy when he was just a little guy.

He still insists it fits fine.

Adam pulls every trick out of the book to prolong bedtime. It is always a struggle getting him to sleep. Here are some of the stalling tactics he tried last night (there were more than four, but these were my favorites).

1. I need my flip flops.
2. What do satellites do? (Dave had to field this one, since I’m still banned from talking to our children about space.)
3. Did you know they make milk containers without handles?
4. Can I have ice cream for breakfast? (The answer was no, if you’re curious.)

He also tried to convince me that one of the times he was out of bed he was really sleepwalking.

Eventually he did fall asleep. Good thing he had his flip flops.

This kid is just fantastic.
Even if he does destroy piles of folded laundry quicker than I can make them.

The photographer just posted a sneak peak online. I can’t wait to see the rest!!
