Easter Surprise!

So, I got my tax return and I thought I'd spring for a few new Thomas Trains for Lucas' Easter basket.  A little pricey, but worth the happy face!

He was at Brian's this weekend so I took them out of the packages (because, duh, the Easter Bunny doesn't give gifts in packages). I got busy and put them on my bed, piled under a blanket. I had every intention to move them.

I'm sure you can see where this is going.

Megan was over and the three of us were playing a board game that Lucas was intent on winning. When Megan and I "took" his cards away, a tantrum ensued. A big one.  He wandered to the back of the house crying and yelling that he was "too mad".  

He said he needed to take some space and he was going to do it on mommy's bed. Did I think about the Easter goodies? No.

After a minute of tantruming in my bed, Megan and I heard delighted giggles from the bedroom. Lucas was laughing.  Then I knew.  Discovery.

"What are THESE doing here?! (Giggle) Rocky?! Diesel 10?! (Giggle, giggle)  Mommy?! What are these doing in here?!"   

He was so damn happy!! No more tantrum. Board game woes were over. Megan and I were hysterically laughing, because really, what else can you do?

I made up some lame story about how that sneaky bunny must have left some gifts early. "He must have come verrrrry early in the morning!" Lucas says. 

In any case, Lucas fell asleep joyous with his trains. I learned an important lesson about hiding the loot!
