Where are the eggs?
April 11, 2009 - Today we hung around the house doing absolutely nothing! It was fun to spend the last weekend of spring break just enjoying not being on a schedule.
Sandie called me and invited us to their neighborhood to do an Easter Egg Hunt. I decided since we weren't going to the one Kami told us about due to the wetness from last night's rain, we would definitely be up for doing this one. We got to Sandie's and Trav got to meet Steve and the rest of the kids. Then, we walked to the cul de sac and the neighbors set up the hunt. Madison was with the 6 and over group and Ashton and Braden were with the 5 and unders. Madison ran around and picked up the 25 eggs they were allowed. The boys ran around and picked up their eggs (no limit). Ashton's bucket was brimming with colorful eggs. Braden kept getting to an egg, picking it up and opening it to see if there was anything in it. Of course, all the eggs had little treats in them so I kept pushing him to just pick up the eggs! He seemed to get the idea and from then on, ran around gathering eggs into his bucket. At the end of the hunt, the kids took all the treats out of their eggs and gave the eggs back. For the eggs, they got another handful of candy. It was a lot of fun! After the hunt, the kids played with Steven, Nicki, Erika and Loukas a while before we left.
We were pretty hungry after the hunt so we stopped for dinner at McDonald's. The kids had so much fun climbing in the tunnels and sliding down the slides. Trav had just as much fun chasing the kids and pretending he was going to go in the playplace and get them! I had a blast watching him play with the kids! They had so much fun!
We left there and came home so the kids could relax and play for a while before bed. I went shopping for a couple last minute Easter things. I then went to Kami's and scrapped the night away. I got Carolyn's birthday card done and finally started to really work on a couple pages that have been giving me trouble. I can't wait to get them done! I got home in time for the Easter Bunny to visit and then crashed as it was about 4am!
