Hunting Easter Eggs





Today Matthew went to the great American Easter tradition, the Easter Egg hunt. Matthew and I met his "Aunt" Leah on post and went with her and 4 of her kids to the Easter egg hunt. Her husband and youngest stayed home, while Phil visited with them. Matthew got to participate in the 0-2 years hunt which consisted of a guy handing out eggs and putting them on the ground. Matthew got a bright pink egg. He stared at it for awhile like "are you kidding me? A pink egg? My dad won't let me have or play with pink stuff." But he finally gave in and looked at it. Yesterday was a warm beautiful day, but today it was about 45 degrees and cloudy. Matthew got rather cold and a little cranky, but he seemed to enjoy sitting on the grass and watching the 200 kids scrambling for 40 eggs. Seriously, tons of kids and not enough eggs. Later tonight I am going to boil and color some eggs so that tomorrow we can have a little Easter egg hunt in our living room. It should be fun. We have his Easter basket all ready to go. Plus the Easter gift his Great Auntie left for him. (Mommy knows it's a bunny, shhhh.....)

Well on the home front, we still do not know where we are going. Maybe Monday we will know. The Sgt. Major is on vacation till then. We might be going to Olathe. We are crossing our fingers until we know for sure what is happening.
