You will have to check us out on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/thefavilles
I've finally been convinced to join since we are addicted to YouTube. I get lost for hours there and find some quite interesting things that just suck us in deeper and deeper. Before you know it out Saturday afternoon is shot because we've spent all day laughing, crying, "Oh my God", "that's rediculous", "that's stupid", and whatever other emotion those millions of videos can do to you. But it is addicting and now we've just joined in the madness.
First, we posted a small "movie" of the boys that we had to create of their siliness. It could be much better, but it was just basically to get something up.
We also included a few videos of the boys at the Easter Egg hunt. It was quite comical since there was still a foot of ice covered snow on the ground and really no where to hide the eggs. Our local hospital sponsors the event and provides over 10,000 eggs for area kids to collect. Sadly there are more adults interested in this event than adults who bring kids for the fun of them collecting the eggs in their baskets. Unfortunatly we live in a community that has they typical "scrubs" and lots of them. I dont mean people that you feel sorry for because they've had a rough life for many reasons, I mean people who CHOOSE not to work and CHOOOSE to collect social services and have 15 kids just so they can collect more and who hav all day to just do nothing but make this community "dirty". I'm not sterotyping, but seriously... If you were at the Easter egg hunt you would know exactly what I mean. "Trash"!!! ANYWAY, if you watch the one video of the boys, I realized after videoing that I had gotten a woman in the video "scarffing up" tons of eggs.... I would assume not for her child....
So here's the story. As we waited in the BITTER 10 degree cold and wind for the announcer to count down till egg finding, this woman with her, what looked to be 2 year old, had a soft sided basket get blown out of her hands in the wind. I graciously ran to catch the bag so that she did not have to run across the icy snow to grab it with her tiny tot. I handed her that bag and gave her a smile. Sean said "OMG, you almost killed yourself on the ice getting the basket for her"... and the "nice" in me says "well I didnt want her to have to either leave her child standing there or have to run with her to get it. that poor little girl would have nothing to collect her eggs in" Sean says "whatever"
So they do the countdown and I moved into the center more portion of the "Toddler collection" area to take some pics and video. To my surprise I caught a lot of disturbing behavior on the video. before the countdown was actually finished, this 'woman' with the little 2 yo. girl scoops her up daughter up under her arm like a sack of potatos and kneels down on the ground with TWO baskets and starts raking the eggs in by the handfuls!!! NOT the little girl, but the WOMAN! I think she missed the whole point of the easter egg hunt. I think that she missed the fact that this event is a free event for CHILDREN! Not to mention that we were in the designated TODDLER area.... Meaning that ALL the children collecting eggs there were UNDER 5. Meaning that all those children had no chance in hell of getting any eggs if that woman continued to collect eggs. Thankfully her daughter was screaming so much that they left. Meanwhile I watch the video in utter disbelief that I just helped this woman with her "flyaway basket" earlier, only to contribute to her need to collect eggs... not her little 2 year old. Sean and I joked that maybe she "Borrowed" the littel girl so she could go and collect eggs. I mean, looking at the way she scrambled to pick up those eggs, you would think that she was on some kind of game show that had filled easter eggs with $100 bills and that as many eggs as you could collect would mean more money for you! LOL. But seriously, each egg had litteraly no more than 2 tiny chocolate pieces in them. The point is for kids to have fun collecting eggs. It just sickens me that people are just so disgraceful. That they just dont care. to me that is a "SCRUB" I hope that women ends up sick and with a mouth full of cavities with all those chocolate eggs she ate!
Anway, you need to check it out for yourself.
Otherwise, we had a nice easter and the boys had a great time searching OUR house on a little egg hunt of their own. They had to find all the eggs and find the "Golden" or "silver" eggs in order to find their baskets. The special eggs had money in them which Andrew announced that he is saving his money for a tuxedo. So if anyone wants Andrew to clean up their house and help with housework and chores for moeny, he is willing because he knows that he has to earn his money that he wants to use for his tuxedo. Matthew tells us that he is saving his money for a castle and a pirate ship. He makes maps every day so he can "bury" his treasure so no one will find it.
So check out our YouTube. Hope you all had a happy easter!!
