Going on a Egg Hunt

Gus and his two little gal pals had an Easter egg hunt at Endi's house the other day. The girls were very into gathering the eggs and putting them in the basket. Gus had other plans. Other plans that included Jake and I taking him around the yard on the tricycle to collect his eggs! That little monkey! I tell ya, sometimes he just surprises the heck out of us, but we love him oh so much and always seem to crack up at the end of each day when we are recapping the high points of the day!

A few eggs in the basket! Eventually he did get off and collect a few on foot. AFTER he realized they were filled with CANDY! Smarty pants!

Easter Morning

Happy Easter everyone!!! This is the new "shy" face that Gusley likes to do!! He stayed here for a few moments then headed to his basket!!

The ball that we just HAD to get because the man at the toy store said it was the new crave and 3 women were like "oh yeah, you HAVE to get that, it is such a great toy." Yeah, ok, we bought the darn thing just to see if it were true and I do not think he has touched it since the picture!!

His very own and very first waterwheel!!

And a new toothbrush!

Some cookies and bath toys from Aunt Sandy, Uncle Matt, Lily and Canon.....

And some really neat new books from Gi-Gi and Paw.....

Camryn and William looking for the golden egg!!

Evan thinks he has spotted the golden egg??!!

Gusley with egg #1 and as soon as he found egg #2 he was done. One in each hand is all he needed!!

See the two eggs in his hands??

Easter Eggs and Basket....

This was the first time in years that I dyed Easter Eggs!! I forgot how much fun it was....I felt like I was a 12 year old with my niece and two nephews. After eating some yummy crawfish and crabs from Mr. Kenneth, we cleaned the kitchen and got Gus down and then it was dye time!! I bought the $0.99 kit and Sarah bought the $3.98 kit....let's just say that Sarah's was far more elaborate than mine. (My dye tablets did not dissolve, I guess that is why it was so cheap!) Here are the finished products.....

Sarah's kit even had sponge stamps and paint so I put a small bunny on Gus' egg, then I realized it looked like the playboy bunny, take a close gander and see for yourself. Seriously, the playboy bunny in an egg dying kit? I guess times are really changing.

The bunny's basket for Gusley!!!

Bunnies!!!!!!

Last Saturday, we saw where a local toy shop had announced that the "Bunnies are here"!! We decided to bring Gus to take a gander at the bunnies!! He loved them!! He has a serious love for animals at just 13 months old. As soon as he saw them he took a big gasp (which he does any time he sees our cats or any other four legged animal!)!! It was very sweet. The bunny pin was very nice, just tall enough for him to see over!! We did a little Easter shopping while there, the bunny just couldn't pass up a few items:-)!!!

The bunny pin and a few of the bunnies!!
