Happy Easter!

We had such a nice Easter weekend! We headed down to the Eastern Shore to visit my parents in Va. We left on Thursday night and got back home yesterday afternoon. The girls did so well in the car. We were worried on Thursday, Chris had gotten stuck at work a little longer then we were planning so we started off later. Which could have been a disaster because it delayed, dinner, and bed by a few hours! However to our happy ears they were just excited to go so it was smooth sailing! It gives us hope for September!

We got to their house late (well late for the girls) so it was quick hugs and kisses and then in PJ's and off to bed. Here again Chris and I were braced for problems with the quickness of bedtime. But with a few promises of intense play the next day, they were asleep in no time!

Friday morning brought 3 extremely happy girls ready for the intense play promised the night before. Play they did! Lily and Juice played everything you can imagine! My mom, Charlotte and I made a quick run in the morning to my Mom's happy place... Her favorite fabric/quilt store. We wanted to pick out fabric so that she could make pillowcases for the girls to take to Disney. We are going to use them as their autograph 'book'. After a quick stop at Wally World we headed back home. Charlotte couldn't hang! She was asleep in about 5 mins of getting back in the van! She is just like Chris.. if she decides she is going to sleep that's it. She is gone! Once we got home I ran her back to lay her down. She slept for 3 more hours!! We had to go back in to get her up for the afternoon!


The two big girls took a rest for a short bit and then they were back at it. Lily played so hard she was sweaty! Soon it was time for dinner/bath/bed. Again our girls were out like a light within minutes of us leaving. Juice stayed up for my sister to get home from work (Friday is her late night) but she ended up falling asleep across my Mom's lap! Chris picked her up and took her to bed! She didn't move again either until Saturday morning!

Saturday we were planning on heading to the Zoo, but Mother Nature had other plans! When it rains down there even normal rain it is like a hurricane! Or at least to Chris and I!! We were woken up too a full on storm! That wind and rain were crazy! By the time everyone was ready it was decided that it would make better sense for us to hang out. The girls didn't seem to mind.

We went ahead and dyed eggs! Both girls were REALLY into this! Chris helped Lily and I was with Charlotte. Charlotte liked to use her hands more then a boring spoon! At the end she looked like the Incredible Hulk!! She also was able to find one little crack in a shell and get her little finger in it! She is very independent! ;-) Lily was much more girly about the whole thing! After we finished our eggs everyone enjoyed a little snack and then it was right back to play! Lily and Juice hung out and watched a movie for rest time and Charlotte once again took an almost 3 hour nap! Mommy also got a nice cloudy day nap in too!! When I woke up I saw that the big girls had made pictures for the Easter Bunny and Juice had made a special picture of just herself and Lily and had written Best Friends Forever across the top!! My sister and I love to watch them play together. It is nice that they do try to include Charlotte. But Charlotte does march to her own beat, so sometimes she likes to play and others not so much!

On Saturday night we were treated to a big turkey dinner! We had to leave Sunday afternoon because Chris has work and school on Monday. So we had Easter dinner a day early! Juice wanted a turkey leg and Lily only wanted sweet potatoes! Charlotte is still being quiet picky so she mushed and mashed and got a few bites here and there! Funny thing is she still no picky when it comes to dessert. I have no clue why?! ;-) In any case she and Lily LOVED dessert (as did everyone else) so much so that they were covered in it! Into the bath again!! Then just like the night before it was lights out. Lily took a few extra minutes to settle because she knew the Easter bunny was on his way!

Juice also took a little longer to get to sleep, so the bunny was held off a little before he could come and do his work! In the end Juice went to sleep and the bunny came to leave his goodies and some eggs to hunt up! The weekend before I put the eggs together with jelly beans for the big girls and toddler fruit snacks for Charlotte. When we put the eggs out we kept all of Charlotte's together and hide the rest.

The first thing they saw when they woke up were the eggs left. Juice swears she heard the bunny hopping around the house! The girls were very happy with everything left for them! Chris and I oops I mean the Easter Bunny was smart and got them things for Disney that they were going to get them anyway. Coloring books, crayons, bubbles, playdoh, books. They are both very much into bubbles! A tiny bit of candy was left as well!


We spent the morning playing with all of the new goodies, had one last dance party and then after lunch it was time to head home. Charlotte only slept for a short while. Once we got home we unpacked and just hung out. All in all it was a great weekend!

Not Easter but a new fav!
