4/9/11 – Kicking off Easter

Today started off VERY early for us, especially for a Saturday! We were actually successful at getting the whole house up and ready and out the door a little after 8:30 this morning. We were heading off for our first Easter celebration of the year…a big Easter egg hunt at a local indoor park. It was for kids 2-5, so really fair, and Olivia had so much fun. There weren’t a ton of kids, so she ended up with A LOT of eggs (which means lots of candy for MOM). After the hunt, we changed out of our Easter best and into play clothes so she could run around the play area for a while, and ware herself out of course. Amelia was quite jealous that she couldn’t join in all of the festivities, but she sure enjoyed all of the fun things to look at!

Olivia seems good as new today. Christian was not back to 100%, but I feel like I am, so maybe tomorrow he will be. This little bug sure did a number on our household, that’s all I know! We managed to get both of the girls to take a nap at the same time for a while today, so we both actually got some chores done. Christian’s friend stopped over so Christian could help do some work on his car. I got a couple loads of laundry done and paid some bills…you know, the fun stuff.

After naps we all just hung out. Amelia was quite crabby all day. Probably a mix of teething, her shots yesterday and Olivia pushing her over all day long getting to her. Olivia was absolutely out of control today, other than when we were out playing this morning. She is SO GOOD when we are out and about, but when we’re home, she just cannot leave Amelia alone. It’s beyond frustrating and we just don’t know what to do anymore. Grrrrr

We managed to get the girls to bed a little earlier than usual tonight. Amelia was so crabby, we just skipped baths all together and put them to bed. I waltzed out to the living room all amped up to spend some time with Christian, only to find him snoring away on the couch. So, here I am, updating my blog instead. What a life we live!

Here are some pics from our adventures this morning!
