The Busiest Day of the Year

We are resting for an hour in between what may be the busiest day of our lives! Between the four of us, we've helped Tim and Hannah unload their storage unit, attended a birthday party and the neighborhood Easter egg hunt (pictured above). We've got two more kids' birthday parties and Steph's bachelorette party to go!

Molly and I started the day at her schoolmate's party at Build-A-Bear, which was more like herding kids around the store for an hour. Molly thought it was great fun, and she really likes her new stuffed wolf, which is named Wolf.

Chris and Josh helped our neighbors hide about 1,600 plastic Easter eggs in the woods around midday. That meant each kid could gather up to 50 eggs. We promptly emptied the prizes our of our 100 eggs and donated the eggs back to next year's hunt!

Josh actually won the egg roll and the egg and spoon race this year by bending--but not breaking--the rules. He used the spoon to toss his egg across finish line (as opposed to rolling it) in the egg roll, and it miraculously did not break. He sat the egg on the spoon during the race, then held the egg in the spoon in his hand (rather than balancing the egg in the spoon). I think he ended up with a DQ for both of those maneuvers.

The boys lost the 2010 tug-of-war 2-1 this year, even with a little extra help at the end of the rope.

Finally, here's a photo from last week when we had dinner with Greg and Andrea, our friends from Wilmington, and their kids. This was taken well after bedtime, and everyone was a little slap happy.
