Easter....

The Easter Bunny made his stop again this year.  He left the usual dollar tree toys and candy.  The other thing he gave the kids was a real bunny named Sparky.  He arrived a few days early.  Seth, Avery, and I went to get him from the farm supply while they still had a pretty good selection.  Seth's Aunt B. called me and told me that they had some so we hopped into the Jeep and headed out on our way.  Seth (being ever observant) said, "Hey, I thought the Easter Bunny was bringing me a bunny."  So, being the quick witted mom that I am...I said, "Well, yes.  He is part of your present, but Aunt B. called the Easter Bunny and told him that you shouldn't have to wait until Sunday, couldn't he please tell us where to get one."  So, the Easter Bunny told Aunt B where we could get one and she told me.  Seth said, "Wow, Aunt B must love me a lot because I know that was expensive."  ???I think...what????  So, I said, "What?"  He said, "I bet calling the Easter Bunny was expensive because I know HE isn't in OUR network."  !!!!!!!  I almost wrecked laughing at him.  So...in case you wondered, the Easter Bunny isn't an At&T customer.  The kids both love their bunny and he is being a very nice bunny.  He is using a litter box, if you can believe that.  




Mama and David were here for the weekend and Jim came and ate lunch with all of us.  Mama cooked a big dinner...ham, turkey, dressing...the works.  Then we hid the eggs.     The kids had the best time.  So much fun in fact, that we had to hide the eggs three more times.  Seth hid them the last time and we still have an egg missing.  Mama and David left around 2:00 and Avery fell asleep eating chocolate.  It was a great day!

Our First T-ball game...

Saturday was Seth's first ball game.  So, we loaded up and drove the grueling 10 minutes to the baseball field and froze to death the entire time.  Avery was bundled up and all she kept saying was ," It's cold out here.  I wanna go inside, okay?"  Each team hit twice.  The first time Seth was up to bat he hit a pretty solid grounder between third and second, and then threw his bat down and took off running to third.  The second time he was up to bat...he hit it straight past second base.  It hit the ground right after second base.  He hit a homer!  We were so very proud of him.  Even the coach for the other team came up to us after the game and told us what a good job he did and told Seth he was "quite the slugger."  If you notice in some of the pictures you can see Bill in the background.  He is now "Coach Bill."  How sweet is that?  After the game, Seth told us that he would give all of us his autograph if we wanted it.  All of his games from here on out are on Friday nights at either 6:00 or 7:00 depending on the night.  He plays until June.  Maybe ya'll can make one.  It's really funny...three and four year olds.
