More Egg Hunting

Since we all love Easter Eggs, we're getting in a lot of hunting time these days. Both boys really love to be outside, and hunting for eggs in the trees and bushes is really fun.

Beau was looking so cute with his egg and basket, but this picture is deceiving. He is having a little bit of a rough time right now. On Monday he started having some teething pain, and his appetite began to decline. Tuesday was going ok until the weather really messed up the afternoon. We had extremely severe storms, hail and 15 tornadoes in the Metroplex. Since the tornadoes were close to the school and the classrooms face outside (lined with windows), they went into lockdown mode. That meant the kids and teachers were safely waiting out the storms in bathrooms, walk-in closets, storage rooms, breakrooms, and any other space that was interior and windowless. It took over 2 hours for the threat to pass, and Beau had just about lost it! His teacher (our favorite, Ms. Jennifer!) was so sympathetic to his emotional state, but all they could do was hold him and wait. Poor baby was so upset that he couldn't keep down a single bite of food or liquid that night. His teething pain was probably just worse after such a trying day, and he was really suffering. He stayed home on Wednesday to recuperate, and he was feeling much better by the evening. He ate better today and was able to keep everything in him. We even got a few hours of giggles tonight! These teeth better hurry up . . . I hate seeing my baby in this much pain!
On the other end of the emotional spectrum, Linc had the best time in his storage closet as they rode out the storm. He was with his teacher, his two (twin) little girlfriends, and two buddies. They played alphabet blocks, learned a silly song about a turtle, made fun of Kingston for eating boogers and had a grand time. He told me it was the best day ever! Linc also told all of his friends about thunder. One of our best discussions ever . . . thunder is a rain drum in the sky that goes boom, boom so we'll know it's raining. His teacher told me that he was comforting one of the girls, patted his leg and said, "Come here Lindsey. It will be ok." He gave her a hug and whispered in her ear to make her laugh. Is that the sweetest thing ever?????
