Spring Is In The Air

I know spring is here because there is always so much to do. Where do I begin? The first week of April was Easter. Kiersten participated in many Easter egg hunts, at school, at playgroup and at home. We had a Easter egg hunt at playgroup at one of the kids backyards. He has a beautiful backyard with lots of space, Kiersten did okay, but I think she was preoccupied with everything else around her. Then at school she had one, then on Easter Sunday at Mimi and Papaw's house. She did great considering she was so sleepy and then got bit by fire ants ......again, like last year! Needless to say I had to buy many eggs and candy. I also made her, Cheyenne, and Alex their own baskets. Kiersten's basket was so full I had to take some stuff out. Mainly there was a Mickey Mouse, a Mickey video, book, painting stuff, and probably more I can't remember. Surprisingly, Kiersten LOVED the Easter Bunny! We went to the mall in Texarkana, so I said well let's see what she does because she was petrified of Santa. But she was so excited the see the Easter Bunny, the ducks and just everything around him. We got some great pictures! She also got to color some Easter eggs at my mom's house, she enjoyed that very much! The next week we had to go back to Texarkana because Nick's aunt died and he was a pallbearer, so it was a quick trip! That weekend The kids were coming with Mimi and Pawpaw. But first that Friday we went to Thomas the train. She got to jump in a Thomas jumpee house, color some pictures, gets stamps, and finally ride the train. She loved riding this train more than the A train because the windows were open and she got to stick her head out and feel the wind. She had a blast......and so did I! We had lunch then came home. On Saturday We went to Carter's birthday party, she had a blast! It was at a bowling alley so I thought she would be running around, but she actually got to bowl she did fabulous! She ate pizza and cake and then played some games.....she had so much fun. I am definitely going to take her back to the same place. We are going to add this to our lists of outings to do. After the party, we went to the aquarium, and of course she had a great time looking at he fish and being with her cousins. She just loves Cheyenne, and Alex. I have been taking Kiersten shopping with me, and she has been doing really good! I am just loving all this special time I am having with her. As I write this we are on our way to Seaworld San Antonio. I know she is going to have a blast and it will be nice to get away for a while. So looking forward to this trip for all of us! My parents will visit us next weekend, then finally we can take it easy!
