Easter! Better late than never...

So I'm only a few weeks behind, but I'm finally getting the pictures posted from our Easter adventures. Here's a brief run down of what our adventures included. The weekend before Easter our HOA held an Easter egg hunt and petting zoo. Jeremy played Mr. Mom well and took the girls and camera for the afternoon. (I was laid up with bad allergies and pink eye so I wasn't in any shape to join them.) The girls really enjoyed the animals: piggys, chicks, hens, bunnies and a few others.
I think the egg hunt was fun too. Unfortunately, some of the neighbors' donated eggs sat in the sun too long waiting to be "found" and by the time the kids got to them the chocolate candy had melted. Word to the wise - don't put chocolate in an egg you plan to hunt for when it's over 70 degrees!!!

Easter morning was full of unmelted chocolate "bunny poops" leading from the girls' rooms to their Easter Baskets. As Emma scurried down the hall gathering the poops (Whoppers) Dani stopped to verify the poops were edible. Mouthful: "Mmm, they're not poop! They're just candy!" Dani was also delighted with the "cheeps" (cheap Peeps?) and Emma and Natalie scored with chore points and cash.


After a LONG, and noisy, kids-filled-up-on-too-much-candy day at church, we headed to Jeremy's parents for a delicious dinner with his family. The kids ended the day with a confetti egg fight where no one, or dog (poor Duffy), was safe and all left with confetti in their hair if not in other, um, unmentionable spots.


The following day, the kids were not in school and Paul and Elizabeth volunteered to spend the day with all three of them. They flew kites, went to McDonalds, and finished the day off at InnerSpace Caverns (local caves). They girls had so much fun. Dani still talks about her fun day with "Elizabeth" (I think Paul's included when she says Elizabeth) any time she sees a kite. I enjoyed my day off and even got in a trip to Costco all by myself. (Now that's a thrill only a mother would completely understand.) Anyway, Thanks again Paul and Elizabeth!!
