Happy Easter - 2012!!

Happy Easter all! I hope everyone else had a fabulous day like we did! It started off with just the Caebug and I. Andrew worked :( and because of a large amount of call offs, he was unable to get done early, like he had hoped :(.
But.. We started off the day. She dug into her basket which included two dvds - Team Umizoomi and Max & Ruby, a gardening set, sidewalk chalk, some crayons, and a coloring book. She also got a swing! Plus candy. Duh.
She dug into the candy ASAP which of course resulted in a sugar high!

After awhile, we made our way to Andrew's parents house. They enjoyed watching her dig into their basket at their home - including lots of goodies as well :). Then, Pap Joe hid Easter eggs outside and we went out for an Easter egg hunt!

As a kid, I never did Easter egg hunts every year, but I think its so much fun and she had a BLAST. I think we created a new tradition.

We had such a nice time, despite Andrew missing out on it all. After we spent time with them, we were off to my parents house. They gave her some more goodies and presents, like an awesome bug catching net (my kid is a bug fanatic).

It was my Dad's and Grandma's birthdays today! They decided that they wanted to go to Olive Garden for dinner, so off we went. It was a lovely meal. Caelyn was so good - despite her having to stay seated for soo long (about 2 hours). She ate very well - it was just an overall good dinner out.

Plus, there was birthday cake... and who doesn't love birthday cake?!

Afterwards, we went to Andrew's grandma's house and met up with him and the rest of their family. We all relaxed and talked and enjoyed time together. Then.. we came home and she crashed!
Easter is a very tiring holiday ;-)

I hope your day was fabulous! Ours sure was.

Tomorrow is the last day of my break :( then I have 8 more days of teaching before my student teaching is finished and I am so ready to be done! So excited! Tomorrow is going to be full of things that need to get done!

Bad Moods and Holidays

Is it just me or does it seem like babies (and children) KNOW that they could be happy on holidays so they are the complete opposite?!

Ok don't get me wrong - Caelyn was pretty decent today. But, she wasn't herself. She fussed a lot, whined a lot, and basically wasn't the joyful baby I am used to.

But.. my mom tells me that babies have some kind of 6th sense that tells them to do this to their parents. So, apparently I have to get used to this. Is she right?!

Besides that, we had a wonderful first Easter for Caelyn! I was sooo excited to be the Easter bunny hehe.. even though it is sooo hard to make an easter basket for a 2 month old!

This is the best picture of us 3 we got today. Even though, I still look pregnant or slightly pregnant. I've lost all the weight, its just this darn extra skin.

Anyway, over at MannLand5, it is the Getting to Know You questions

1. Showers or baths?
Showers - I like to get things done with! If I am super sore or tired or sick, I take a bath, otherwise... a quick shower for me it is.
2. Do you have any crazy urges?
Sometimes I get overwhelming urges to clean. I don't understand the urges - I just follow them.
3. What is one thing we don't know about you?
I am very tall - 5'11"!
4. Exercise..love it or hate it?
Hate it - I don't exercise except for walks around the block or my Wii Fit. Otherwise, I have no desire to exercise. People say it makes you feel good - I think they lie.
5. Do you think you have a good body image?
For the most part, not so much lately but that is probably because I had a baby recently
6. Flour or corn tortillas?
Flour!
7. How do you celebrate Easter?
Generally, just time with the family. We either go out for dinner or have it at home like this year. We enjoy each other and have fun. I love Easter!
8. Hard boiled Easter eggs or plastic eggs?
Well, I prefer hard boiled because they are sooo much prettier. This is the first year I didn't, but Caelyn is soo young she doesn't understand - yet!
