Monday evening we did the Duckie Drop at the community center. It was a lot of fun! While walking in we ran into the Easter Bunny which Kylie did not enjoy.
Then we swam for an hour until the Duckie Drop started. Everyone had to get out of the pool because they did it by age groups. Hayden went first and it was nice because we just had to wait our turn and then they sent his duckie down the slide for him to get. There was no hesitation about whether or not he wanted that duck! Then he got a grab bag!
Next was Kylie's age group which was a little crazier. Brandon took her into the madness of duckies dropped from the huge bucket on top of the kids area and then we stood in a huge line to get her prize which was a star ring floatie! She will sure enjoy that this summer at the pool!
On Wednesday we got together with Sophia and her mom to dye some eggs! Angela and I decided to try something we found on Pinterest: whip cream dyed eggs. Lets just say it was a massive fail! Hahaha. At first only Hayden was willing to swirl around the eggs in the whip cream and food coloring. It was too messy for Sophia and Kylie to want to join. Then Hayden just ended up taking handfuls and eating it.
We finally gave the girls a spoon and then they would swirl the eggs around. Also, everyone was stripped down. Because, you know, mess.
In the end the whip cream/food coloring experiment didn't work in the least and we ended up dying them like normal. Oh well! At least we tried something new!!
Thursday we took a walk in the evening and Kylie enjoyed making our shadows interact with each other.
Also that night our house got "egged" by the ward. Our door was covered with paper eggs and they had hid 12 eggs in our front "yard" that the kids had fun finding! It was a nice surprise.
Friday we had a birthday party for a boy on our street called Spencer. They had just moved here and he is in her Sunbeam class, so they don't know many people yet. Kylie and Hayden were the only other kids there outside of Spencer and his little sister Allie. Practically every birthday party I have been to for Kylie's friends it turns out to be just us and then their family. Always awkward. For me at least. Kylie doesn't care. There are presents! And games! And cake! She was quite the entertainer and everyone just loved her!
It was a super cute Peter Pan-themed party. Hayden got a Peter Pan hat, but of course he didn't keep it on. He did enjoy wearing Kylie's Tinker Bell wings, though!
Saturday morning we had our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt!! We arrived a little early which I wanted to do, that way the kids could play on the playground for a bit and not be distracted when it was time for the egg hunt.
Hayden did fairly well- of course focusing on opening the candy and eggs immediately upon finding.
Kylie did really well and found lots of eggs and candy!
Saturday evening we went out to play and Kylie was Super Klutz. She tripped and scraped up her elbows, and then ten minutes later tripped again and majorly scraped her elbows again as well as her knees. So we came inside and to cheer her up we opened up the packages that Grandma Tess sent her and Hayden. They got a little bunny that Grandma Tess had made as well as some socks! The bunny made Kylie so happy and she didn't let go of it for the rest of the night.
Then came Sunday, and EASTER! Had we had enough egg hunts? NO! Had we had enough candy? NO! Although, luckily, the Easter Bunny was kind enough to visit our house after lunch so candy wouldn't be the only thing the kids ate today!
Kylie loved seeing everything she got and finding eggs. Hayden loved opening eggs and stuffing his face. Yup. Typical!
What a fun Easter Week!!
What a marvelous week they have had. They both are so adorable. Your life is never boring...
