Happy Easter!

Disney

Well, it's that time of year again. The Easter Bunny has visited our house and left a bunch of eggs to find. We went to a big Easter Egg Hunt yesterday that a local church puts on each year. They divide their front lawn into 3 sections and put 12,000 eggs on the grass. Bean loves it! One little boy, on looking at the eggs for the first time, said, "Don't they know they're supposed to HIDE the eggs?" It was hilarious. We love this egg hunt because it lasts almost a minute. (The first hunt I took Bean to, she got 2 eggs and it was over in less than 5 seconds! It was insane and I don't think the kids really enjoyed it.) 

Things are always slower out here, just part of life in the South, but we prefer it. The church also had a bounce house, two inflatable slide, and a giant inflatable obstacle course. They also have a free lunch and crafts and short lessons on the meaning of Easter inside the activity center. It's a lot of fun!

After the Egg Hunt, we had to run over to Lowe's for their kids build. Bean has been going to the builds at Home Depot and Lowe's since she was 3 and she looks forward to it every time. This week they made a window birdhouse in honor of Earth Day and gave out reusable totes.

Our local used book mega store was having an Earth Day sale too. Everything you could put into a reusable tote was 20% off. I think we spent 2 1/2 hours looking at books. We bought a ton of learning to read for Bean, who's in Kindergarten. The prices were fantastic! They usually cost $3.99, but at 2nd and Charles, they were $1.00-$1.44. I found some books my mom has been looking for, a few books I'd been looking for, and a special edition copy of Breaking Dawn from the Twilight Saga that looked like it had never even been opened. It was a steal at $10.80! I love finding bargains and I really love books, so this was great fun! I wish you all a great Earth Day and a very Hoppy Easter!
