Easter Tradition Continues

 Rick continued doing the limerick Easter hunt with Grey and he is sending some to Ivy too.  Grey came home from school and did his hunt, we colored eggs, and we made cookies.  He loved doing everything!  He is very into potty humor as you can see by some of his clues.  This morning we were having a really bad storm with crashes of loud thunder.  Grey came down the hall and said, "Gigi I just said a prayer to Heavenly Father.'  I said what did you say?  He said , It is private, but then he told me I asked him to stop the storm! "  So cute.  I try and talk about how much Heavenly Father and Jesus love him and that they sent him to me to bless my life.  

Easter for Grey

This is a poem for our boy named Grey

Who gets up early every day

Who loves to run and loves to play

So he can look for eggs this holiday

Easter Bunnies have treats to hide

They could be close or far outside

I’ll tell the truth, I never lied

So get ready for a little ride

Each egg you find will have a clue

Different hiding place for you

So if you think and if you’re true

You’ll figure out just what to do

So take this note and start to zoom

Don’t look around in every room

Dont crash this thing and then go boom

When you smash the pedal and go vroom!

Great work! You found it in your Jeep

They’re  not from China, not too cheap

And you’re not done so don’t you weep

Lets keep looking, don’t fall asleep

OK, now its time to really think

There’s water here, but not to drink

Here your poopy makes it stink

Better wash your hands in the sink

Now you’re really in the groove

But, I’m afraid its time to move 

We know you are tough, time to prove

Better see if Gigi can approve

You need to leave and take a trip

You might just run, or maybe skip

Go to the place that you could grip

A letter, or package to Ship

That was tough, kind of long

But we know that you are strong

We love it when you sing a song

So find a tune and run along

Its time to play some hide and seek

You cant find Pops he likes to sneak

And play it with you every week

If you can’t find him he might squeak

I guess you could say it is time to race

To your favorite hiding place 

Sliding under without a trace

Only you can squeeze under this space

You are very clever, don’t get a big head

Just cause you found it under the bed

Never be sassy, be nice instead

That is the best way to get ahead

So when you get mad don’t throw a fit

Just sit and relax for a little bit

You might not know all the good things you git 

Just stay a good boy and never quit

Heres your next clue - don’t let it pass

If you can’t find it, don’t cuss or sass

You have to act with lots of class

Now go outside and mow the grass

Grey is a boy who is just too smart

But he also loves a loud fart

A well rounded boy, every part

The center of his Gigi’s heart

Just our little pride and joy

All those toys for just one boy

If he is tired, he can annoy

But mostly, he’s the real McCoy

For him that last clue wasn’t hard

He found the stuff out in the yard

Listen up, time to be on guard

Maybe you should find an Uno card

Hope you had fun on this Easter egg game

Some clues were funny some clues were lame

Toys and eggs are fun, but not the same 

As the One who took our Blame

Jesus died for our sins you see

All the bad things from you and me

He took these things and set us free

So that we with him can be

He died on the cross, but on the third day

His body did no longer lay

In the tomb of stone all cold and gray

He rose for us to show the way
