Easter Race

Brandan has been on Spring Break since Thursday and the boys have been getting in some serious Daddy Time.  One of their favorite new games is to "hurdle" Brandan.  This involves Brandan lying on the ground while the boys get into "blocks", Sport shouts "Go!" and then they run towards/at Brandan.  Dash clears him most of the time, Colt occasionally clears him, and Sport doesn't even try, but just dives onto his belly.

Sport took a break from the races to practice dribbling the ball.  This is his concentration face.

On Saturday, we went over to the Upton Park for the city Easter egg hunt.

Colt knows a good thing when he sees it.  He almost exclusively gathered Cadbury eggs.

After the Easter egg hunt, we went home and held our own Treasure Hunt. 



Brandan just finished reading a clue and Dash is taking off.

Saturday afternoon we all dyed our own Easter eggs with sports themed wrappers.

After several close calls, Sport was corralled in his booster seat for the rest of the egg coloring process.

Colt wanted to keep his clothes clean so he shed his pants.  We did some fast talking to get him to keep on his unders.

The boys and the eggs.  Brandan is spinning the inspiration on his finger.  If you'll notice, Sport is a little sour about still being in his chair.
