Easter

This weekend I tried really hard to put work aside and focus on the family.   The past few Easters were usually spent at a potluck with friends in San Diego.  This year it was just us.  We got up early Saturday morning and headed over to Home Depot for the kids to do their monthly Kid Workshop.  Then we went over to base to their Easter egg hunt.  It was crowded, cold and the parents were a little crazy so the kids barely walked away with more than 3 eggs a piece.  After some errands we drove by another egg hunt and decided to stop.  It was run by a church with such sweet people who basically threw out eggs one last time for our kids before they ended.  Haddie had a whole hunt to herself and she took her time picking up each egg and one popped open so she popped a squat and chowed down on each jellybean and then left the egg.  Ha.

On Easter, the kids came down about 10x before we finally gave in and got up at 7 something.  We found cards left for each of the kids that gave a clue to where their basket was hidden.  Just like good 'ol EB used to do for my sisters and I.  We spent the afternoon outside, Barley and all, blowing bubbles and riding scooters and enjoying the sunshine and fresh air.  I even took the time to start a new project.

Over the last two years or so I have gotten sooo bad about using my "big girl camera" and instead just using my iPhone (those darn things are just sooo convenient!) so it was nice to get it out and get a few pics of the kids enjoying the day.
