green eggs and fam

this morning i took the kids to an easter egg hunt at our realtor's office. we went to the same hunt last year and quentin enjoyed it so even though jeremy is working today, i braved it solo. last year it rained. this year it was beautiful, but quentin insisted on wearing this hat:

i had put a hat on caroline to protect her bald little head from the sun so Q then needed to have one too. his baseball hat just wouldn't do. it had to be this GREEN hat, despite the fact that it is 70 degrees outside and this hat is his sister's.

the hunt was outside, but they had hidden eggs indoors for the 3 and under crowd. i tried to get Q to go outside, but he wanted to stay in (probably because no one else stayed in and he had the place to himself!)

just like last year, he enjoyed finding the eggs. and as an added bonus this year, he told me what color each of them were.

and if you have a dump truck easter basket, you must dump your haul on the floor. repeatedly.

and then clean them up, so you can do it again.

caroline enjoyed playing with the one pink egg quentin let her have. and eating animal crackers.

they both got their pictures taken by the town newspaper photographer, so on thursday we'll see if they made the cut!
