Easter 2013

This year Easter was so much fun.  Bowlin 'kind of'' understood the Easter Bunny, and he did pretty good with hunting eggs as well.

  We started our Easter weekend with an Easter Egg Hunt at Sallie Kate and Robert William's house.  This is Bowlin's 3rd year now, and for him was the most fun!  Then Saturday afternoon we dyed Easter Eggs for the first time.  He was such a helper.

First thing Easter morning we woke up to see if the Bunny had come, and what he had left.  Bowlin must have been sweet this year because on top of his Easter Basket happies he got a John Deere Gator for him to ride on.  He was pretty excited.  The next thing we did Easter morning was we went to church.  We tried to take Bowlin to the nursery.  Well, that didn't work.  He wasn't having it.  So, he came to big church with us.  He made it all the way through almost.  Literally, there were about 3 minutes left in the sermon when we had to give in and let him down.  He and Bo just slipped out the back.  I usually host Easter lunch at my house, but since the trailer wouldn't hold our families Bo's sister, Mary Katherine, offered to host.  It was delicious and her house looked so festive.  Everyone helped with the meal and it was YUMMY!  We then tried to get Bowlin to hunt Easter Eggs again.  But, he wasn't as into it when he was the only one hunting them.

THEN it was time to go play.  We started off by letting him ride his new Gator.  He like it but it was so wet we were having trouble riding on the wet grass and through the mud. So he got off to play on foot.  And he being ALLLLLL BOY he hit a mud hole!  See below for pictures.  But, basically it went like this....he knows he is not suppose to splash in the mud holes.  So he was walking a big wide circle around it and looking at me smiling, just waiting to see if I would say anything to him.  When I didn't he then went to the very corner and put his foot in.  When I still didn't correct him he splashed.  The gradualness continued until he was literally covered from head to toe and had rolled in it like a little pig!  It was fun for him, and it was a holiday, so I guess I was feeling generous.  Needless to say our clothes were ruined!  I am thankful for a wonderful Easter day, and I am especially thankful for the reason for the holiday!
