Happy Easter and My 600th Post

Just noticed that this was going to be my 600th post today, hard to believe. I haven't missed but a couple of days since Jan 1 2008 so I guess it isn't hard to have the number climb so high.

Happy Easter to everyone, we had a really nice day. Of course what made it so was that Andy, Nikki, Riley, Kaleigh, Ashley and Chris joined us for the festivities.

Riley really liked everything in his basket and was ready to put Finding Nemo into the dvd player and watch it right away. We convinced him he could watch it later at home.


Kaleigh examining the contents of her basket, not sure if she was very impressed.


Then it was time to hunt for eggs. At first he just wanted to take the eggs from Andy and Nikki baskets but then realized there were eggs all over the house. He did a really good job spotting the eggs and had to open each one as he found it.


The little ones had quarters in them and the bigger ones had matchbox cars. He was equally excited about both. He learned right away that the quarters went into the bag so he could put them in his piggy bank when he got home.


After the hunt it was lunch time, while Riley was waiting for his sandwich he had a couple of strawberries. They were huge and very delicious.


After sandwiches it was brownie time. Kaleigh isn't a big sweets person but she gave it a go and try them. She would have liked more grilled cheese sandwich.


Then it was outside to use the chalk they got in their Easter baskets. We had quite the Art Festival going on.



Dan and Kaleigh decided a ride in the wagon would be more fun, so off they went. Only got as far as the neighbors where they stopped to watch the barking dogs (they drive me crazy).

By this time it was getting pretty hot on the driveway in the sun so we went back inside and talked for a bit. Riley was getting very tired so all the ill-gotten booty was loaded in the car and they headed home.

It was a great day and I think the next gathering will probably include swimming because the pool will definitely be warm enough or it will be hot enough out that the pool temperature won't matter.
