I can’t sleep tonight —I’m completely uncomfortable no matter what I do. Â So here I am at 4:15AM, eating a bowl of Frosted Mini Wheats and blogging about our awesome day yesterday! Â Yesterday was a beautiful spring day—chilly, but sunny outside with blue skies. Â We started our day with yummy breakfast—brown rice pancakes, hash browns, and oranges, with lots of coffee of course. Â We then walked over to our park for the annual Easter Egg Hunt. Â Everyone in attendance was asked to donate a non-perishable food item as the price of admission (awesome, eh?!), and then all of the kids were divided into large, age-appropriate groups for the egg hunt. Â The Pre-K group met out on the baseball field, and after a few minutes of hanging around with hundreds of little plastic eggs in plain sight, the kids were given the signal to start collecting the eggs. Â They were given a 10-egg maximum per kid. Â Each egg had candy inside, and when we were done, we deposited the plastic egg shells into a cardboard bin for next year. Â Here we are waiting for the “hunt” to begin:
Here’s H in action:
And pictured with his loot:
Afterwards, he bonded with the Easter Bunny:
It doesn’t get much cuter than that, does it? Â After snuggling with the bunny, we went inside the parks and rec building for donuts and juice. Â We walked back home, played outside, played inside, and had a delicious lunch of leftover homemade mac and cheese, fried chicken, and pomegranate-raspberry smoothies (TOTALLY the best beverage I’ve had in a while, hands down). Â After lunch, we went out to the store to buy H a bike helmet so that he could come home and practice riding his bike safely:
We topped off our fun spring day with a salmon dinner (complete with quinoa and cucumber relish), and finished up Little House in the Big Woods, which H totally LOVED!! Â We read the whole book in less than a week, and now that we’re done, he knows that I mean business when I say I’m going to “tan his hide.” Â 🙂
Tomorrow: Â If I get any sleep between now and 7AM, I’ll probably be in good shape to take a prenatal yoga class in the morning. Â How we spend the rest of the day is up in the air!
