Such a great day.

We began our Saturday with an Easter egg hunt in a lovely park, and with gorgeous weather.  We could not have asked for a better day: sunny and pleasant, not too cold but not hot.  Perfect spring weather. The kids got to enjoy lots of crafts and activities (seriously, how can you beat bunny hats and parachute games??), and then, of course, The Hunt.  What fun!  They filled their baskets with colorful eggs, and then opened them one by one, oohing and aahing over each egg’s contents.

 Checking out their goodies!
After our morning in the park, the kids spent time playing outside, and Alex had a music lesson (even his lesson was held outside today…this is how beautiful the day was!).  After that, I packed up the kids and we went shoe shopping (not our best part of the day), and then visited some adorable puppies at a nearby pet store.  (Now, before you get your panties in a bunch because we stepped foot in a pet store, let me assure you that we didn’t buy anything.  The way I see it, those pups didn’t ask to be sold in such a place, and they need snuggled before they are purchased, so that’s what we did.  Cool it.)  Of course, the kids are now begging for another dog, but I think we have a while before we add another living creature to our family. After the puppy cuddles, we had to make a stop at the grocery store (again, not the best part of the day, but we made it through with minor incidences).  

When we returned home, it was egg coloring time!  The kids have this down to a science by now, and they created some beautiful eggs.

The eggs

Then, dinner and baths, and off they went to bed.  It was a fairly easy transition to bedtime, as Ad and Andrew were convinced that they wouldn’t get baskets in the morning from The Bunny if they didn’t scurry off to bed.  Al, on the other hand, not so much; he is still wide awake (I hear him emptying the ice machine in the kitchen as I type this…).  I will have to get him to bed soon, though, so The Bunny can get to work.  Although I had the best intentions of having the baskets put together before now, it just didn’t happen.  So, hopefully I won’t fall asleep before the baskets are ready and the eggs are hidden. Fingers crossed!
Ad’s clever note to The Bunny

All in all, a splendid Spring day.  I’m looking forward to many more of these!
