Olivers Updates

Getting ready to hunt eggs!

Monkey see, monkey do!

Ruby is sporting her new shades, she looks like she is on a cell phone…

The Easter bunny needs hugs!

Ruby looks on in anticipation… (mommy sings her the “clean-up” song so she figured out what to do)

Hmm, that is a lot of kids…time to make my game plan

Run!

Eggs, eggs, and more eggs…

Ruby wanted nothing to do with the mass rush of over bearing/candy hungry/pushy parents that followed all these little guys. In fact, she turned around and started screaming as she latched onto mommy’s leg. Mommy finally came in and taught Ruby to pick up the eggs and put them in her basket. She was diggin’ it after a few times…and mommy let her do it all on her own! Ruby came out with 7 eggs so that other little guys that were doing it on their own could get some eggs too before all the candy hungry parents took them for their children.

Plop, in goes the egg!

I’ve got a full basket for about a minute…I must tell you, I don’t like to see other kids not get anything, so the first thing I do is fill my basket, then if mommy and daddy point out someone that hasn’t gotten eggs, I go help fill their basket! A little boy was in the middle of the field and didn’t have any so I kindly filled him up with some. (Side note: the volunteer asked if I was the kids brother because I was sharing my eggs with him, daddy told him “nope” and the guy was amazed…a 4 year old sharing those precious candy eggs.) Once we found Ruby and mommy we noticed a little girl getting there late so Ruby and I walked over to her and added some eggs to her basket as well.

When we were all walking back to the car mommy said…”Oliver, I’m so proud of you for sharing and making other kids happy too.” I said, with a sweet thinking look on my face and pointing to my heart, “mommy, it makes my heart happy.”
