Easter Egg Hunt!

I know it is late, but better late than never!

We took the girls on a great Easter Egg hunt. We are so lucky to live in a community that has fun little events like this for the kids. It was within walking distance from our home right at the big park down the street.

The field was marked off in age segments - we were in the 2-4 yr age range. There were eggs everywhere. I think the workers just tossed them out there - no hiding! No place to hide - just eggs everywhere. Every color egg you can imagine - red, pink, yellow, orange, blue, green, purple - you get the point, right?

Well, the horn blows and the kids are off on a mad dash for eggs. Seriously, it was over in less than 90 seconds. It was the fastest thing ever! I finally look down into Evie's basket and what do I see??? Pink eggs. Only pink eggs. The girl walked past every other egg and only took the pink ones. I would not have believed it if I did not see it! And, despite only taking pink eggs, she got more than Erin!!

Neither of the girls cared much for the Easter Bunny. Initially when they visited him they would not even say hello. After the hunt they must have been somewhat thankful and decided to go back. Ev kissed him and Erin shook his hand. Super cute!

Walk Walk Walk............

Well, I am back in the saddle. After a long hiatus due to a broken toe and cold, I hit the club today and walked my 5 miles. My toe was not perfect, but felt pretty good. But, it really just felt good to be walking again! I'll try for another 5 tomorrow.........

Fun at Chipotle

Nancy, the girls and I enjoy going out to Chipotle for lunch. Did you know you can order off the menu and get a quesadilla there? You can get just plain cheese or with some meat added. Nancy always gets a cheese quesadilla for the girls to split and they really enjoy that.

Ev devourers the guacamole. Interestingly enough, we have Ev in speech therapy but she can say quesadilla, guacamole, and chocolate clear as a bell. I guess you just need the proper motivation. Anyway...

Evelyn has started this strange ritual with the bag of chips we always get. After promptly emptying the bag of all chips, she turns the bag over wears it on her head. Currently it fits on her head perfectly.

"Look at my taco hat!" she yells loud enough for the entire place to hear.

Erin has her 'Chipotle moments' too. The other day at a lunch stop she tapped Nancy on the shoulder and said, "Mommy, this is a really nice restaurant". Let's try and keep those expectations in check I say. I'm glad it's so easy to impress her. Let's see how long that lasts. It was very cute and definitely worth capturing here.
