Easter Weekend

 We had planned to maybe go to another egg hunt on Saturday but Thomas had a fever... or a stomach bug I can't remember which but he was ill so we passed up any out and about activities and stayed home. While Thomas napped we pulled out the activities we had got from the previous weekends Easter egg hunt and made those crafts. 




There was a neighborhood Easter event I shared with our neighbor and she was so sweet to drop off a bag full of filled plastic eggs from them going (she said they had WAY too many and thought we could have our own hunt at home). So Kyle and I hid them, each kiddo had a specific color they were in charge of finding. Turns out our hiding was too hard and they preferred the laying in the middle of the grass style because then got a little frustrated with having to ACTUALLY hunt for the eggs, haha.  


A lone tulip popping up in our yard. 


Digging into the eggs once they were all located.



OH! And since the sun room was so cold during the winter we had taken a break from our puzzle. Thomas was wanting the table back for his trains so I FINALLY finished my Beachbody Summit puzzle. I'm in the middle of this puzzle, lol. This was a drone photo from Summit in Indianapolis a couple years ago.

Easter Sunday I got up early and did a nice long run (well 4.6 miles but the longest I'd done to that point in my half marathon training) we watched church online and the kids colored eggs:




They had all woken early and the girls were in dire need of a nap! Didn't take long for them to snooze off. This was the first nap in a LONG time they'd taken. Especially Emma. 


After nap we hid more eggs and had another hunt in the yard, but this time on the other side of the yard with new hiding places. 








Happy Easter!

April 2nd Zoo & First Lost Tooth

 The kids were out of school Friday, April 2nd for Easter weekend. Kyle took the day off work or half day and we went to the zoo. 

These were from April 1st, not the zoo but our zoo at home: chickens and Harpo. Sunsets comb has healed nicely after the frost bite. 


Friday at the zoo. It's so great to have a membership because we don't feel obligated to visit the entire thing in one visit. This visit we focused on the indoor tropic area that had tons of birds.


 

 


I didn't get a photo of this one but we stopped and watched him for a while:

We also got sight of the Tiger which we hadn't seen in the previous handful of visits. 


After the zoo we got some ice cream, Kyle shopped for new running shoes and Emma lost her FIRST tooth just before getting out of the van at the playground. 




Thomas April Soccer

 Thomas did his first round of soccer in April. Each Monday evening he had a little skills clinic he attended. It was great to see him improve over the course of the weeks, I was so impressed. He's a good little sport player.
