Outdoor and Easter shenanigans

We had a lovely Easter weekend at home, just the four of us. We opted to stay home based on travel a couple weeks ago and more a couple weeks from now. Our weekends at home have been so few lately. We embraced it!

Photos from the last few days...

Front yard and garage shenanigans, Cozy Coupe riding, water bottle sipping, dirt digging...and standing-on-Daddy's-truck fun.

We took a family walk to the elementary school's playground.

(They have one of those odd-but-fun giant car seat-like swings. A got so comfy in it, she cried when we told her it was finally time to get down.)

Early morning snuggles with Lady EJ. She wakes around 5am most mornings and snoozes off and on for another hour or so. Since she doesn't fully go back to sleep, she usually gets invited to snuggle in bed with mama. 

Snugglebunny. A content little lady.

Reading a cookbook. She saw the stack of them in the kitchen - on a shelf where they have been for months - and suddenly decided she wanted to read them. And read them NOW.

The next day...more swings!

Smiling (and squinting) at the park. We were up early Easter morning, and decided to venture to the park. We had the entire place to ourselves on a sunny, breezy, 70-degree morning. It was awesome.

A visit to what we thought was a rainforest-themed restaurant in town...that was actually all dinosaurs. Miss A was a little nervous, but okay, until a costumed dinosaur walked up to our table. Yeah. NOT a fan. From then on out she would only sit on our laps, and barely touched her lunch. She had worried eyes the entire rest of the meal, and all week since then has repeatedly said, "Scawy, mama. Scawy." What's scary, Addy? "Dye-sores!"

Mama cooked her first big ham. Success. And we have leftovers for days.

EJ slept like this for five+ hours on Easter afternoon. All of that bunny stuff is exhausting!

Xoxoxo.
