Another week has flown by, and spring is no where in sight. It is technically spring, but we continue to get snow and cloudy days in the 30s, so it's not quite what we have been hoping for. Hopefully, sunshine and warmer weather is around the corner.
This past week was pretty typical with work, workouts, and entertaining children in the evening. We did have one really nice evening in the 50s where the kids could play outside and blow bubbles and run around the the backyard. They really enjoyed an evening outside the house, and it helped burn off some of their endless energy!
We stayed pretty busy this past weekend. Elliott's daycare had an Easter Eggstravaganza on Saturday morning. I took the kids, while John stayed back to work on some other things. The kids had such a good time. We started with an Easter story, and then there were Easter crafts, games, prizes, tattoos, and they even had Easter eggs hunts for different age groups. We were there for the full two hours, and the kids never stopped moving. They loved it!
After the Easter party, we headed home for lunch and then went to Lewis Drug to see the Easter Bunny. It was the Grand Opening for the store, so there were treats, face painting, balloons, and special deals going on all over the store. The kids did really well with the Easter Bunny, and they enjoyed shopping in the store with us. They each had their own little kid shopping cart, and then proceeded to run into people constantly. They also got their faces painted. Emma got a kitty on her cheek, and Elliott got a dinosaur. We all had a really good time.
After Lewis, we had to run to Pet Smart to get Poppy some cat food, and we ran into another Easter bunny! It didn't seem to bother the kids any, so we took some pictures again, and called it a day. The kids were pretty pooped after all the activity, so bedtime was pretty easy and kids were asleep by 8:30pm.
Today was a nice, relaxing day. We had church in the morning for Palm Sunday, and Emma and Elliott participated in the palm branch processional march before the service began. They were both so proud to participate. Emma also sang in both services, so it was a busy morning.
We spent the rest of the afternoon having naps and just relaxing at home. It was great. Then, we went out to eat with Jim and Barb for John's birthday (which is tomorrow). It was a great weekend!
