In the middle of the wee early morning hours of Easter, Hunter came down with a fever and was delirious. He kept talking about crazy stuff. After he was given a dose of medicine, he promptly threw up. So needless to say, everyone slept in some. Hailey woke up at her usual time but I told her it was not time to get up. She slept another hour. I felt bad for her having to wait on us so at 9:30 she went into the playroom to play. I got up shortly after and joined her. I caught her looking out the front window. It had stormed throughout the night and it was wet outside. She said, "Mommy I think I see a carrot out there!" She was desperately looking to see if the Easter Bunny had come after all. Seeing that I had pulled a mean April Fool's joke, that Easter Bunny had to come - rain and all. Hunter woke up fever free. I dressed the kids, Brady disappeared and wouldn't you know it, the Easter Bunny came. He just had to hurry up and go visit lots of little children's homes hiding all those eggs since it had quit raining hard!

Hailey was absolutely sweet outside. She helped show Hunter all about it and even handed him eggs. He caught on quickly.  I had them put on their rain gear. I thought Hunter had the right sized shoes upstairs but squeezing his foot back into a size 7 just wasn't an option. The Easter Bunny left some cute bug, sports and ocean animal eggs outside. Hunter got distracted a couple of times by the Kubota in the garage and the water puddles. He managed to step in one of them leaving nice mud spots on his pants. Good thing I had a backup pair! I love this age as everything is a new first and delightful. 

This was Hunter's first egg he found!

Like the ladybug egg in the smashed up grill? I did. Silly Easter Bunny! Hunter liked finding the ones on the tires too.
