Easter Eve 4-3-2010

The family and I had a fun family day today. =) We started off by checking out the new toys in the playroom. They got a cool new ball pit and some big kids set up a slide leading down to it. Mikayla and Declan had a ball (you know I had to do it) sliding into the pit over and over.

I had to get a few things to finish up the Easter baskets so I dragged everyone to the mall after we played. We were surprised to see a wedding fair taking place in front of the mall. Mikayla was so excited to see the "princesses" walking the catwalk in their beautiful dresses.



We got to enjoy some yummy Starbucks while shopping.

Mikayla and Daddy got to check out the fresh seafood while we were there. The prawns in the pile they are looking at were still moving and flopping all over the place. Talk about fresh!

Our friends, Ken and Jen, invited us over to color eggs. We all had so much fun! Mikayla and Declan love to do all sorts of arts and crafts so they were so excited.







Declan had to taste the paint as usual before getting to work. Mikayla is a serious artist and was the last kid coloring eggs! She stayed put until almost all the eggs were done.

We stayed and had some yummy pizza for dinner before having to come home so we could set out our eggs for the Easter Bunny to come and hide.


Mikayla wanted to put them on her stool by the door so the bunny would have no trouble finding them. She can't wait to find all of his great hiding spots!


After the munchkins were finally asleep mommy worked on their Easter Hats. I had no luck finding any baskets so I improvised and bought each kid a new hat and filled them with goodies. Daddy also haggled with a few people at the mall and managed to get some great Stitch and Mickey stuffed animals to finish off the hats. Lilo and Stitch is the current favorite movie in our house so I know the kids will flip over the dolls when they see them!Even daddy is getting an Easter Bowl (forgot to get him a hat!!) full of yummy treats. Some friends of ours just got home from one of their US trips and were so sweet to bring us a few Easter treats. Now that we have Peeps and Cadbury eggs our baskets are complete!!

Tomorrow we are going to an Easter Brunch and an Easter Egg hunt. If we are lucky we might also make it home in time to do the Egg hunt here at The Shama. What lucky kids we have!!
