Here comes Peter Cotton Tail

We had a great Easter this year. On Saturday we made sure to dye some eggs in our new fancy spinning egg dye kit. It seals the egg in a container and you press a button to spin. Mess Free!
The Boys had fun and only broke one. Mommy broke two just from boiling them.
On Sunday morning we were woken up bright and early by Nathan who was soooo excited that the Easter bunny brought him some Chuggington stuff. I said Nathan why are you up so early? He said he was so excited to see if the Easter bunny had come.
I got up and opened the box full of tracks so he could play. I snuck back into bed and he played with those trains until we got up to eat breakfast! He really really loves these trains.
Mimi and Papa came over and the boys showed them all of their goodies. Nolan doesn't really seem to care. I feel like he is so used to having toys all over and probably didn't realize the trains were for him too. He did get some little bubbles that he loved. I love them because they are spill proof and passed the test. He loves bubbles but he also loves to dump them about two seconds into them being opened.
We then got all loaded up and met Chad and Richard for Easter brunch . The food was delicious as usual and the boys had fun with the Easter bunny and clown they had there. They always have a face painter there and Nathan loves it. This time she rambled off a list of things that he could be . As soon as the word Tiger came out of her mouth Nathan was done! Nathan and Nolan are always running around this house roaring and growling at each other. Nolan and daddy had headed out to the car to get the boys Easter baskets so they had no clue what he was getting. By the time they had made it back Nathan was transformed into a handsome tiger. He was so surprised when he saw himself in the mirror. Nolan was just staring at him and giggling . The sweet bunny asked Nolan if he wanted to be a bunny rabbit. He hoped right up on the chair and she started painting away. He loves to be messed with and he looked like he was falling asleep. It must have felt really good on his face because at one point she had to put her hand on the side of his head to hold it up! ha ha ha.
When he was finished she showed him in the mirror and he just stared . I don't think he knew it was him.
They were so cute in their face paint and it just proves that I am running a zoo over here with all of these animals! ha ha ha.
Next the boys got to run through and pick up some Easter eggs. They both were loaded with candy by the time we had left.
WE headed home where they played a little more and then took some naps. They were both worn out . The rest of us sat around relaxing and watching golf. It was a perfect , relaxing Easter!
