Easter Preparations

Today we planned on a visit to uncle Gary and aunt AA.  So we packed up and headed out early.  Originally, we were only going to stay for a couple of hours.  But we were having so much fun we ended up staying for lunch too.

One little drawback to the toddler seat....

Bubeaner really enjoyed watching uncle Gary use the riding lawnmower.  It was cool!  He also enjoyed eating some pickles.  Mmm, yummy!  It was nice and relaxing to sit out in the patio and just enjoy the cool spring breeze watching the ducks swim in the lake.  Of course, we stayed so late that we missed the neighborhood Easter egg hunt.  But we were not worried since there was a later one scheduled at the church.

Bubeaner is pretty expressive

But by the time we got to the church, Bubeaner was sound asleep.  We actually debated for quite a while what to do: wake him up and do the activities or just go home and wait for next year.  Bubeaner ended up waking up while we debated.  So we decided to give it a try.

We did not stay for long.  There were too many people, and it was a bit chaotic, not to mention stuffy.  There were unattended children running around like crazy everywhere.  And most of the other activities were mainly geared towards older children.  He might be more interested in a few years.  So we headed home to do our own Easter preparations.

Momma and Bubeaner unsure about this Easter egg hunt

We decided to forgo the egg painting/decorating.  It would have been too messy and Bubeaner would really not be able to participate much.  Instead we opted for decorating Easter cookies.  He knows and enjoys cookies so we had his attention the entire time.  He even helped decorate them.  Bubeaner even decorated one all on his own.  He did a pretty good job too, until he decided to add his own special mark to it.  But even with that it looked great. 

Bubeaner decided his cookie needed a lot of color

One must ensure quality control measures are observed.
The frosting passed Bubeaner taste testing.

And every masterpiece must be have a signature mark....
