Super(hero) Easter

On our last Easter with 2 boys, we celebrated with superheroes! The egg kit was Avengers themed and included lots of stickers (Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Wolverine). The boys had a lot of fun dyeing eggs this year. To my surprise, they also really like eating hard boiled eggs. Our first egg hunt was with my moms group Tri-City Tikes. Each kid was supposed to get 12 eggs. I helped Benny and Alan went on his own. He still needs a little work on his counting skills. He ended up with 15 eggs. Whoops! Then over the weekend, we went to the St Charles Park District Easter Egg Hunt as a family. Alan decided the boys should wear ties :) So they looked very handsome hunting for their eggs. It was really well run and there were plenty of eggs for everyone that braved the cold. No neighborhood hunt this year. I didn't feel like organizing one and apparently no one else did either. Maybe next year! The boys hunted for eggs at our house Easter morning and found their baskets from the bunny filled with books, monster trucks (including Alan's favorite El Toro Loco), some wrestling figures, and balls. Daddy and mommy collaborated to make bunny pancakes for breakfast. Then we headed up to Grandma & Grandpa Flanagan's for an outdoor hunt with cousin Kassidy and a few more cute baskets filled with way too much candy (which of course the boys didn't mind at all).
