Easter baskets

Jen wanted to make a list of Easter basket ideas for the future, and since my phone was washed this photo from Instagram is the only picture I have of the boys’ Easter baskets. Which I had to snag as a snip from Instagram because apparently you can’t download your photos back from there like you can Facebook (obviously I’m still in mourning for the contents of my phone).

In Spencer’s basket (age 5)

A new bathing suit and a beach towel (he had been drooling over this Monsters Inc towel at target for a while, reasons unknown).

A peanut butter bunny (since relegated to the freezer for future consumption)

A handful of jelly beans and Cadbury mini eggs

A headlamp (forgot batteries, 2 weeks later still no batteries)

A watch (the boy is OBSESSED with time, and I’m sick of him asking what time it is)

A new Thomas movie

A beyblade-like top

In Henry’s basket (age 2)

A new bathing suit and a beach towel (Cars2).

A peanut butter bunny (since relegated to the freezer for future consumption)

A handful of jelly beans and Cadbury mini eggs

A headlamp (forgot batteries, 2 weeks later still no batteries)

A Jake and the Neverland Pirates seek & find book

A new Thomas movie

Obviously, I tend to give my boys pretty close to the same thing. They are always coveting eachother's things, and unless it's something they can share I would rather get two and not have to listen to the complaining (see: the Innotab. S got it for Christmas and I regret weekly not just getting one for H too, even though I wasn't the one to purchase Spencer's.)

Also, instead of baskets this year (I can never find the baskets) I got these buckets from Target because they were $3 and I thought they would be good multiuse for them afterward. When I was peeling the sticker off the bottom to fill, I realized they were St Patty’s day ice buckets. HAHA
