We had a great Easter weekend with Mimi! This year we decided to skip the Naperville Egg Hunt which is always super overwhelming and just do the Oswego one. This time we invited several friends to go with us! The kids had a good time. Charley was a little unsure of the Easter Bunny but Jackson was in heaven.
They do a new hunt every 30 minutes all day which makes it much more relaxing and the kids can take their time. Inside are small games for the kids to play.
Jackson knew just what to do but this was Charley's first time. Here we caught the egg flying OUT of Charley's basket. We put some in her basket and she threw them out.
It took a lot of adult supervision for her to end with any eggs in her basket.
Our friends all enjoyed the hunt too and then we went back to our house to grill hamburgers on our new grill.
JJ had a massive tantrum on the way home and then Charley was screaming too so both kids went to their rooms when we got back to the house. It was only 10:30 so we Charley fell asleep almost immediately I figured we were in trouble for nap time. But..she slept for FOUR hours and missed the whole party! The kids had fun finding even more eggs.
After a big rest time we headed to the Outlet mall to pick up a couple things and enjoy the amazing weather. We stopped soon before we left for a small snack.
And then he crashed on the way home. We went for pizza after the mall and he laid on the floor for about ten minutes because he was so tired. I was slightly worried he was getting sick but as soon the pizza came he pepped up again!
And of course he had plenty of energy left for ice cream. What a "helper!"
Charley is getting so independent. She sat her forever eating her ice cream and she wouldn't accept help until the end.
This morning we got up to see the Easter Bunny baskets and then headed to headed to church. I wasn't thinking when I put him in Christmas pajamas. We're really festive.
Charley loved her new swim suit cover up from Mimi. She wore it all morning and even left it on to eat her cereal. She has been loving this rocking chair lately!
Those bangs... I reeeaaallly don't want to cut them but they are always in her face until I get pull her hair into a ponytail. She says "mess" and tries to push it out of her eyes. I'm hoping it will get easier to deal with when it's long enough to tuck behind her ear.
SHE LOOKS SO OLD!!!!
Tripod and self timer! This was the first photo and they kept getting worse and worse.
We tried a new way of dying eggs but we'll be going back to the old way next year. The color on these didn't stick well.
It was incredible outside today and we played in the backyard for two hours and grilled dinner too. It was a great weekend!
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!
