The boy's have been excited about their Easter party all week. But Eli --- he has been crazy excited about his bunny basket and finding all the eggs to put inside.
They made their own Easter baskets at school, and believe me - we have heard all about it.
Eli - "Mommy and Dad. I made my Bunny basket for to my Easter party. I will put the eggs in it - in my bunny basket. Bunny basket, bunny basket, yeah!!!"
Something to that effect. He's been going nuts about the basket. Apparently he came into the living room last night around 9:30 (I was already out!!) and started up about his basket again. So, needless to say, we were all happy that Eli finally got to hunt his easter eggs and put them in said bunny basket!
But let me tell you - nothing could have prepared me for his reaction to the egg hunt. He was pumped. He was excited. He had his bunny basket in his hand. When Miss Jennifer said "Go", he was off. With each egg that he picked up, he proclaimed, "Ya-ha-ha-hooooo!!! I win! I win!!" as he did a fist pump in the air.
Hysterical. I could barely contain myself. My kid is a riot.
Silas had a blast too and both boys were tickled pink that Daddy was at their party also. Typically he would be at work, but was able to get off today. I was going back and forth from both parties and at one point told Silas I'd be right back. He replied, "But why? I thought you and Daddy were supposed to be with me."
I love him. Because the weather was so crazy today, nothing went as planned. Where they had planned to eat lunch at 10:30 and then do the egg hunt, the weather was not cooperating. The egg hunt ended up being before lunch. So, they were doing all their activities at random and "the party" kind of started early. Silas was wanting me to be with him even during their rotations, such as washing their hands and lining up. He said, "Hey mom, come over here. Look, you gotta watch me wash my hands! I'm so good at it!!"
So yeah, we had fun.

Lunch.
Afterwards, we went to Mount Laguna to take the boys to see the snow. We always check the weather when it's chilly and raining here -- because odds are, there will be snow in the mountains. We bundled up the boys and off we went. The boys surprised me though. Where I thought Silas would last 2 minutes - he LOVED every second of it. Where I thought Eli would have a blast - he was crying after about 2 minutes. "Momma, maybe we go back to the car. I cold." I couldn't agree more. I hate the cold. I like snow for all of 5 minutes too.
Don't get me wrong - it is b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l. and I love to see it. But, I have no need or desire to be in it. Sorry. I wish I loved it. I don't.
So, Eli and I went to the car, turned on the heater and explored what was inside his easter eggs while Silas and Daddy played on the sled, threw snowballs at our windows and ran around. Oh - and we made the local news. Pretty funny.

| Snow! |
 |
| This is his "I hate this" face. |
 |
| But Silas loved it. |
 |
| Yummy. |
 |
| Eli came out of the car for this. |
So that was our fun and adventurous day. Later this evening, I looked over at Eli. He had slowly (throughout the afternoon) taken off articles of clothing. When we came home, he took off his sweater. Later, I found his boots on the floor. After he went potty, his pants came off. And this is what was left.
Who is he?
