Easter festivities

I felt guilty because I didn't get the girls to the mall to see Santa this past Christmas. I promised Emma we'd go see the Easter Bunny & chemo be damned we made it. We also met up with my friend Kim & her two boys so the kids could play. Emma & her son Ryan were in preschool together last year and her youngest, Jakob, is not too much younger than Gracie. The mall has the little play area in the food court that the girls absolutely love to play in....I'm not sure why, it's honestly not that great. A little slide & a little thing to climb on. Go figure. They had fun seeing the Easter bunny & playing with the boys so it was worth it.



I have to admit I've been a bad Mom....the girls have never had a dollhouse. The Easter Bunny took care of that for me & they've been playing with it all day. Definitely a worthwhile investment when you have girls! Except now they want me to go outside & blow bubbles. When exactly do children outgrow the fascination with bubbles?? I swear they would have someone out there every day if they could.



We also had a little Easter egg hunt in the backyard. Nothing big since....yeah the backyard is pretty small, but they love it anyway. Easter & Halloween drive me nuts with all the candy though. I need to be more creative with what they get & try things like coins, goldfish crackers, teddy grahams, stickers, etc.

Shoot! The Easter Bunny is supposed to bring gifts? Don't tell Lenore. She'll complain when she's 15 about all the toys she missed out on because the Easter Bunny didn't bring any. They are also very brave. Lenore won't touch Santa or the Easter Bunny. Nothing in a masked costume. She does like Superman, though. At least she knows cute when she sees it.
