Easter 2011

Well G-ma & Uncle Joe have already mentioned they're going to check the blog today for Easter pics so I better "HOP" to it! Ok, lame, I know. Anyway......
Easter was great this year. Brooklyn spotted her Easter basket hiding in her wagon right away. She pulled out a Dora game for her click start & that was it, asking me if she could play. She kind of ignored the rest of it for awhile, & then took off to wake Sean; guess she was waiting for him b/c then she ripped right in to the rest of it. For those of you wondering, she did have candy in her basket: pez, skittles, lollipop, & gummy bears. She kind of by-passed the Dora socks & stickers! Dylan did get a basket too, a few board books.
After a VERY long Mass, we headed over to Mimi's a superb luncheon. Dylan woke right when we got there to the sounds of many new voices, but seemed to be most comfy in Steph's arms. Mere's friends from Dayton that were at our house for Christmas came down again, plus some of Steves' family came over for a big Easter Egg hunt. Mere was nice enough to create a little Brooklyn area w/ her candies, bracelets, stick-on earings etc. in them & the bigger kids had the rest of the yard. Then came the confetti eggs! I'm not sure how many dozen they made but I think I saw at least 3 going around. Fun to smash on each other & everyone gets really into it!! Overall, B's favorite part of the day had to be the two kittens & Buddy. WHY those kittens didn't figure out that they should RUN FAST when B came around, I'm not quite sure. She tried to pick them up by their tails, dropped one, told me she stepped on one 'just a little bit,' and when we were about to leave, she was holding one around its neck. Eye yie yie. Glad they lived thru that. (and please no one write me to ask why I wasn't keeping a better eye on my child...my nephew already says I'm like a paranoid cat.)
She passed out in the back seat, as did Dylan. We tried to wake her to use the potty & take a bath but she was so out of it, she practically fell off the toilet & had to sit while I dried her hair. She fell back asleep in my arms during the 20 feet walk to her bed around 7:15 & woke around 7 the next morning! Sean & I had enough time to head downstairs & watch Burn After Reading. (A story pretty much about nothing, but somehow we talked about it for at least an hour afterwards. watch it,you'll understand.)
