Eggscellent Birthdays

It has been a busy week for us. We had spring break last week. We started off at Grandma D's on Sat-Tues. The weather didn't cooperate, but we did get to go see Rio, bake some cookies and spend lots of time with both Grandma and Grandpa. They even said we didn't fight too badly and can come back again sometime, whew! When we got back home, the bad weather kept on coming, so we had to get a little creative. We went to Monkey Joe's with some friends, did some shopping and some reorganizing around the house. Friday was Dad's birthday. Since it was Good Friday, he was off work. He had a lot of appointments to go to, Mom booked up his schedule, but he was finally able to relax with us. We went to Kelleher's for dinner and had cherry chip cake for dessert. Mom surprised him with an Ipad 2. It took a lot of hunting to track it down, but we think it will be a good addition for work and play. On Saturday, Dad put together Zach's new furniture and did some small things to get the baby's room in order. All we have left to do is get the old dresser out, the curtains up and the decals on the wall. Mom freaks out everytime she washes and puts baby clothes away. She ordered some bottles the other day and got really emotional...it's really becoming a reality, only 8 weeks to go!

On Easter Sunday we awoke to find that the bunny hid some eggs around the house for us and gave us some sweet dinosaur baskets and candy. We had planned on staying home again this year, but our cousin Benjamin was going to have some cake at the farm for his 3rd birthday, so we were excited to go see him. It finally turned out to be a nice day and we had an egg hunt outside with cake and presents afterwards. Everyone brought some food and we had a nice meal. It's too bad he doesn't live closer, we sure had a blast together.

Mom almost sent us to school today, but she double checked our calendar at the last minute and realized classes don't resume until TUESDAY! Boy that would have stunk! So we tagged along to her Dr. appt today, spent our Easter money at the store and played for hours with this new bubbling, messy car-wash thing that Zach got. There's water everywhere, but at least it kept us entertained while Mom caught up on laundry.

Hope you had a Happy Easter and a relaxing weekend. Back to the grind for me tomorrow, watchout!
