A Fabulous Spring Break

So far spring break 2010 has been jam packed with all sorts of fun activities. Beautiful spring weather has given us hours and hours of outside play time with neighbors and other friends.

Today we flew the kite Olivia got for Christmas. I had no idea what a difference using a well-made kite can make. When I was a kid, I only had those cheap plastic kites that always ended up stuck up in a tree. But with this kite, as long as the wind was blowing, the kite shot up into the air with very little effort. The girls quickly figured out that pulling the string makes the kite dip, dive and flip through the air. We all were giggling and begging for another turn.

Earlier in the week we dyed Easter eggs and splattered them with glitter paint. The girls have gone on many bike rides, had picnics in the yard, and gone to the park.

Yesterday Olivia and Sophia got packages from both grandparents packed full of Easter fun! They each got a spring dress, swimming suit with matching cover-up, a super soft, stuffed bunny, toys and Easter candy. They were both thrilled beyond belief.

Currently, I'm making use of the free wifi at Mickey D's while the girls make new friends and climb around in the playland. The girls are both wearing their new dresses and their new favorite bunnies are sitting next to me as I type.

Tomorrow I'm leading the Bunny Bop, an Easter party, at the rec center (my job). The girls will join me other preschoolers in making bunny masks, spray painting egg-shaped paper, and playing Easter games.

On Saturday I'm working at the Wheat Ridge Easter Egg hunt as the Easter Bunny chaperone. Yale will bring the girls to participate in the fun. Sunday will be spent doing our second anual Easter Bowling egg-stravaganza and Monday we plan to go swimming.
