Party, party, party. That was the theme of the weekend and we haven't actually made it to Easter Sunday. The boys have been on a sugar high since Friday and have learned the ways of the candy filled egg. Friday they came home with a bag full of unopened eggs, what would it hurt to open a few? I should have known better. It has been "yummy this" and "yummy that" and everywhere we go the lure of the pastel egg brings us to fits. This morning we went to the church to participate in the egg-stravaganza. The boys cashed in on a basket full of eggs. After powering down a few Smarties and Tootsie rolls we headed over for a ride on the train. Then we went home to rest up for Charlie's 2nd birthday party. Once home I told them it was nap time and they both went straight to bed and shut the door behind them. I went to Alex telling him I had witnessed an Easter miracle. Later I was in the computer room and I started hearing soft giggling. It wasn't the usually trying not to sleep laughter so I decided to see what was so funny. The two of them were huddled in the corner of their room, behind a chair, sharing a contraband package of Smarties that they had snuck past Mommy. They had made it almost through the package and then started shoveling faster as I got closer. All I pulled away was a wrapper. After our nap we headed to Charlie's where we had more treats and cake which helped us maintained our stamina for riding the roller coaster for two hours. When we came home we found Oma had sent us an Easter basket filled with more goodies. We enjoyed some of Mommy's favorite candy to top off the evening. It was a good hour of sugar burn before we were ready for bed but once we heard the Easter bunny was coming in the morning we went right to bed with thoughts of jelly beans dancing in our heads.
