Last weekend a friend of mine commented to me that after the next week was through, we'd be playing Easter Egg Hunt with Davey all the time. I knew right then that she was right - a game where everything you find has candy and toys in it? Right up Davey's (any kid's) alley!
Our Easter celebrations started with an egg hunt for playgroup on Wednesday. Davey was so excited about getting to hold his Easter basket.
The kids were so patient waiting to start.

One egg = victory!
We should all be so easily fulfilled.
Opening the eggs: trying to hold onto all the candy
and throwing the empty eggs aside.
On Saturday our HOA's social committee put on an egg hunt and games. I tried to be part of the committee, but was just finding it too difficult to get to the early meetings on the same day we have preschool and playgroup. It was fun to just attend and not have to do anything!
Davey enjoyed a cupcake before the hunt and afterward they had a water balloon toss and played on the playground. He was so funny during the hunt: it took me a few seconds to figure out why Davey was running past a bunch of eggs - this wasn't his first egg hunt of the year after all, I couldn't believe he would be willing to run past all kinds of candy - the funny thing was he only wanted to collect the blue ones! Lately he has been saying this about everything, sippy cups, juice, m&m's: "Favorite is my blue."

After the neighborhood hunt, we headed over to the Griffeth's for the kids to color eggs. We decided to take off shirts (and eventually pants too) to prevent ruining them since they dyes were not washable.
Davey enjoyed trying to "sponge paint" his eggs, but it
was really a bit advanced for 2-3 year olds.
After the dying, the kids had fun playing on the playset. It was then we realized how funny and almost (but not quite) inappropriate it was to see them all playing...
Good thing they're too young to remember when their parents let them play with their friends wearing only underwear!

That sounds just like Davey to take out the candy and throw away the eggs. Who cares about a plastic egg? Candy is way better! And I think it's funny how he says "favorite is my blue." And how did he know he's supposed to have a favorite color? I tell ya, that kid is too cute for his own good.
