The day that my sister left with her boys, Harrison came down with a week long stomach bug. Thankfully he started to feel better just in time for Lance and I to head up to Chattanooga for a wedding. The boys spent the weekend at Grandma & Granddaddy Randolph's house so we had a night off. It was just a short trip, Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon, but it was so nice. The weather was great so we had a leisurely lunch, walked around Chattanooga and then went to the wedding. We had planned on eating breakfast at the hotel in the morning with my friends before they all had to head out to catch flights, or drive back to Cincinnati, but Lance I slept in a little too late...I have to admit, it felt great! We had several people recommend a certain restaurant, Food Works, so we hit it up for brunch on Sunday morning. The best part was that the hostess told us it would be a 40 minute wait. Normally, with 2 kids in tow, this would be a nightmare, but with just the two of us, it was blissfully relaxing. A bloody mary in hand, with sunny, 70 degree weather, and I was in Heaven. This was the only time that I thought to take a picture...
The kids had a fun weekend with the grandparents, filled with Easter egg hunting, bike riding and, the best part for them, staying up past their bedtime!
On Wednesday, a friend of mine had to register her daughter for Kindergarten (are we really getting close to that stage already???), so her little man, Sam, stayed with us. He fit right in with the boys...first Sam and Davis worked on fixing up Davis' crib...
After all that hard work, they needed a little Cheerio break...
I think Sam needs to teach Harrison & Davis how to say "Cheeeeese!". (P.S. - the pillows would be from Harrison's pillow tower that he now likes to set up, just about every day now)
Today Harrison's class had their Easter Egg hunt. The parents were invited to come and help setup the Easter Egg hunt, so Davis and I joined Harrison in his class today. We got to watch the kids have their circle time, say the Pledge of Allegiance, and while they read a story with Mrs. Sandy, we hid the eggs. Davis had fun playing with the balls on the playground while we hid the eggs. All was well until we were about to go get the kids. I couldn't find Davis...he was hiding on the play set with a handful of candy that he must have swiped from an Easter egg.
They all lined up with their Easter bags that they made...
Davis wasn't quite sure what was going on, but he definitely knew he wanted to be first in line...
Found one!
Two of the moms made a special Easter snack for the kids and they were so cute...An oreo that was dipped in yellow candy coating to look like a chick and the other was a halved mini doughnut on top of a graham cracker, with a mini oreo in front of the doughnut. The little flag says "He is Risen" and it is supposed to look like Jesus' tomb. Gotta love Pinterest!!
You know Davis couldn't just sit and watch...
It was a fun morning and I think the kids all enjoyed every minute!
