Sunday was Easter. It was wonderful and despite the weather report that it was going to be cool it turned out to be a beautiful day. We woke up (Braxton woke us up) about 7:15 and we went into the dining room to see what the Easter Bunny had left. Braxton had a great basket. It had some cars in it, a Tupperware cake taker (just like Grandaddy's), a movie and SOME MARKERS!! Braxton has really gotten into crayons and markers and they are normally the first thing he goes searching for regardless of where he is. Crayola has this wonderful line called Crayola Wonder. The markers only work on the specific paper. So no more marking on skin, carpet or clothes. You can look at the picture and see Braxton's face when he saw his markers.
After church, which we didn't get to attend because we had nursery downstairs, we went to Grandaddy's house where the Easter Bunny had stopped as well. Another great basket full of clothes, toys, a really cool firetruck, and chocolate. All the family came over about 3 o'clock. We had a wonderful dinner and enjoyed catching up with each other. Grandmama seemed to be having a good day. This news in itself seemed to brighten everyone's day! After we ate, we went outside to walk around the garden and for an egg hunt. Braxton's egg hunts consist of tossing the eggs on the grass and watching him pick them up. He was very entertained and was incredibly proud of himself for every egg he found. Half-way through the egg hunt Braxton looked at Grandaddy's basket and noticed that HE had all the eggs while he himself only had about 3. So he switched baskets. So although it looks like Braxton has found a lot of eggs it's really the basket that we were using to "hide" the eggs.
Smart "egg", right?
Yesterday afternoon, one week after the playset was delivered, Brandon put the swings and slide up. Braxton had a ball. I think I pushed him in the swing for an hour. He sat very still and held on just like a big boy (he's still not 2!) and everytime I asked if he wanted off he'd say "No". When he finally got off I stood behind him as he climbed up into the fort and then he just sat at the top of the slide. He seemed afraid to go down. His foot slipped and down he went with a crash landing at the bottom. He sat just for a second and then laughed and got back up. Then he climbed back up and did it again. This went on for quite some time. We had a great time and are evry happy with the way it turned out. Hopefully, you all can come and play on it soon. It has so many great things to play on.
First off, I hope you didn't fall out of your chair when you saw I posted twice in one day. I'm on spring break so I have just a little extra time on my hand. I really need to start doing more posts because there is so much going on.
