School parties and egg hunts

Thursday the boys' school had their Spring / Easter parties and Egg Hunt. It's crazy having two kids in school and running back and forth to their classes. Fortunately, Cole's classroom ate first and hunted for eggs second, Eli's class hunted for eggs first and ate second.

I started off in Cole's room where apparently the kids didn't take good naps because they were excited for the party. When I got there a few minutes after 3pm, the kids were all sitting at the table in their chairs all but demanding food. Once plates were handed out, they were happy. I scooted out to check on Eli's room. The kids got all lined up and then dashed outside to find the eggs. Each kids was to find 13 Easter eggs - Eli was done in under a minute. When he said he had 13, his teacher asked him if he was sure. She counted them as well and sure enough, he had very quickly snagged 13 eggs. Back to Cole's room (ok I think I went back and forth a few times more than that), they finished eating and then it was time to find eggs. Tim got there before the egg hunt and Cole was happy to see Daddy. When we went outside it took Cole a few minutes to warm up but once he got the hang of it, he was all arms. Grabbing Easter eggs all over the place and running back to Daddy to put them in his bucket. After the hunt, I ran back over to Eli's room for their party and then Daddy / Cole came over. Cole then participated in Party #2. He absolutely loves going to the big boy room for parties. Lots of fun and lots of sugar!
