Both my mom and my grandmother asked me if we were doing anything special for Easter. We didn't make a special dinner or have any friends over, but we had a great weekend anyway.On Saturday, we went to Mush for Kids. There were dogs everywhere, including a make-shift track for some dog sleds to run around Pioneer Park. Arthur loved watching the dogs run. He also got a balloon (he chose the color). After lunch, we went back to the park and Arthur got to sit in the firetruck. He really liked that (maybe more than the dogs?).
That night we dyed some eggs. Arthur also got to choose the colors: blue, green, and yellow. He even tried putting rubber bands around the eggs to decorate them. The next morning we hid the eggs in the living room and told Arthur to find them. He got the biggest kick out of searching for the eggs (and later wanted us to hide them so that he could search for them again). We had a nice, quiet meal with - what else? - deviled eggs!
I bought Arthur some rubber boots at Once Upon a Child this weekend. He had some apprehension at first and didn't even want to try them on, but when I explained that he couldn't wear his shoes in the puddles, only his boots, he finally gave them a try. Wouldn't you know it...he loved them! They are a tad big, so he had to learn how to walk all over again. Sunday afternoon we went back to Pioneer Park to take Arthur through the puddles. He had a good time splashing in all of the big puddles and seems as excited as we are for spring.Happy Easter everyone! Enjoy the warming weather!
Blessed be.
