So the Saturday before Easter I had a fun filled day planned for the kids. When Ian's out of town I try to keep the kids busy so that 1.) they won't realize how much they miss Ian and 2.) so that bed time is easier b/c they are so tired.
We started out the day with an Easter Egg Hunt at Frank Brown where they both got a ton of eggs (most with age-inappropriate candy. Who gives a 2 year old gum and jolly ranchers??). We then went to the "Spring Fling" that they were having at the Navy Base. We ate hot dogs and Popsicles and then the kids played on the numerous bounce houses that were there. They ran around for 2 whole hours and then when it was time to leave, total melt down. I was exhausted and all I had been doing was walking from one activity to another and they were all red in the face from all the running around and jumping they had been doing. How do they do it? And why is it no matter how much time you spend at the park or play date its never enough?
We did have a fun day though. We went on another egg hunt at a nearby church later that evening and then had a picnic dinner while they played with other kids from the church. As much as I hate the melt downs and complaining when its time to leave, its worth seeing the smiles on the faces when they are enjoying the moment. Now I just need to do the same.
Have Fun!!
