Carl Schurz Egg Hunt

We have always been out of town for the Carl Schurz egg hunt, and now I know why! I think the kids had a fun time at the end of the day, but it was a MAD house. They set out 30, 000 eggs and ask each child not to take more than 10. They did it in two rounds, which was a good thing, because in the first round Ryan got trampled, came back to me and then when we turned around to get some eggs they were gone. Literally-2 minutes. Craziness. These kids are some of the boys best buddies. They will definitely miss them when we leave. 

                       Big Hunt-look at all those eggs!

After a long hunt and lots of eating of the chalk egg, Julian had to relax

Catching up!

 I wish I could have gotten a picture of the side of these awesome green shoes. In the middle of the day. Totally awesome.

              Someone figured out how to open the magnetic hooks on the cabinet

KPMG Egg Hunt

Our 3rd annual Easter Egg Hunt in Central Park. This year I think we had over 25 kids! Our first year we had 8! Only two of us are moving this year so next year should be full too! (Maybe we can make it back!) We had one of our first GORGEOUS days and it was a perfect egg hunting day. Some of us brought snacks and boxed wines and we were good to go.  We definitely didn't pick a good spot for a picture. Andrew is holding Julian on the ground. 

 look how little some of our kiddos were in 2012!!

The boys were so excited to help me fill the eggs. Even Julian helped empty almost every single one as we filled them. They would love to find 100 eggs, but we have to draw the limit somewhere. 

                       Has Ryan been raiding my instagram? Perfect duck face selfies...

                           

             Ryan loves to make new friends, but can really be himself with old friends. He hasn't seen Ellie in months-but then I saw them off playing together and "discussing eggs." So sweet.

Pool Parties and NIT Tournament

Ryan got invited to a pool birthday party (oh I wish we lived in a building with a pool!) and since I couldn't find a playdate for Andrew he got to come along. He probably actually enjoyed swimming more than Ryan did!

 On April Fools I told the kids I made them brownies for breakfast and brought a plate over with this sheet. Andrew just looked at me and said hah. Ryan kept looking under the plate for the brownies. Hah!

 Clemson was in the NIT tournament and playing at Madison Square Garden. I had not ever been so we got our sitter and went down to the game. It was a really cool venue and I don't think there could really be any bad seats. Clemson lost unfortunately, but it was a fun night out!
