Easter Egg Hunt

Last night we went to an Easter Egg Hunt in Norman. We picked Brady up from work and headed right over to Andrew's Park for the egg hunt. They had it divided into all different ages (non-walkers, 2 & under, 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8). There were a TON of kids there! I'm glad they had it divided by ages otherwise there is no way Kolton would have been able to get any eggs! He was so excited to be able to use his basket and pick up the candy! We had bought the basket the day before and all he wanted to do was play with it. I didn't want him to break it by standing on it etc. so I wouldn't let him play with it. Originally we were going to go to the Moore Easter Egg Hunt this morning but since Brady had to work we went to Norman's last night. Anyway, so yesterday morning he woke up and wanted to play with his basket. I told him no and explained to him that he could use it tomorrow morning after we played all day, ate dinner, brushed our teeth and read the Book of Mormon, said prayer, went nigh-night and then when we woke up he could use it. After he took a bath and got dressed he told me he was going nigh-night (which he does a lot) so I put him to bed and after about 30 minutes he came out and told me he had woken up and now he could play with his basket because now it was "tomollow." It was cute.
Here he is waiting for the siren to go off signaling the start of the hunt. He was DYING to go in the roped off area and start!!
Parents weren't technically supposed to go in and help but I don't think a single parent (in Kolton's age group) didn't go in and help their kids. Brady and I took turns holding his basket and pointing to eggs for him to pick up.

Kolton showing me all his eggs. The "hunting" was literally done in probably 3 minutes. The kids really went at it!

The candy was less than desirable :) but Kolton enjoyed eating the eggs he got to pick up. I know it doesn't look like he likes it but I promise he did.

Brady told Kolton to take another bite so I could take a picture and so he was showing Brady that he already had a bite in his mouth so he'd take another one "in a minute"-one of his new favorite things to say. I'll tell him to come to me for something and he'll say back "in a minute" or "i'm comin' in a minute." :)

After the hunt Brady and Kolton ran over to one of the playgrounds and Kolton played for a little bit going down the slide several times!


Then we left and on our way back to our car a train came right past us. Kolton was SO excited to watch it! It kept honking its horn as it went past us and it was flippin' loud! He loved watching it though!

On Thursday I went outside to go throw away a dirty diaper (life of a mom :) ) and outside on the porch was a flower box. I was like "WHAT?! Someone sent me flowers?!" I was so excited! Turns out Brittney's mom sent Brady and I a bouquet of tulips with a nice letter to go with it thanking us for being friends with the Foys. How nice! THEN, that evening, Sterling's mom took me and Kolton out to dinner to Teds (YUM!) and also bought Brady a meal to go (he had to work) and thanked us for being their friends too. What an awesome day we had!
