Pre-Easter weekend

We are already in the Easter spirit and I'm loving it! It's such a blast to have a kid to celebrate holidays with - it brings an entirely different dimension to it. Yesterday, Guy and I took our nephew, Matthew to the city Easter egg hunt. Grandma and Grandpa came along as well. They announced that they had 7,000 eggs hidden in the park and over $500 worth of candy. Even still, Matthew came out with three pieces of candy and four eggs.

It was still a fun afternoon and a good opportunity to teach a nice sharing lesson. All of the kids took off after the eggs (there was no limit to how many you could take) and they grabbed everything they could. At one point Matthew and another little girl ran up to a bush with two eggs in it, and Matthew beat her to it. She turned around to walk off, and we told Matthew to only take one and leave one for her. He was very polite and only took one egg. You have to grab those opportunities when they come because they are the best way to teach manners and politeness.
