A Hoppy Weekend

Easter weekend hopped by too quickly.  It felt a little different this year for several reasons.  Normally we are starting spring break the day after Easter but this year we already had our break.  Friday night the kids colored eggs which I don't think we have done for a few years.

I think this year the theme must have been Pokemon, because it seemed we had several characters emerge including a couple of Pikachu's

 

Kelsey had other plans for the weekend and was not going to be home for the holiday so Saturday the kids and I headed up to campus to spend the day and take her a little Easter treat.

I enlisted her to help in making some door decorations for the upcoming teacher appreciation week.

Sadi was happy to help too.

Chase had no problem getting comfortable and hanging like he lived there.

We checked out a new little joint for lunch Kelsey told us about, the Baked Bear.  It's basically an ice-cream sandwich shop.  It was pretty good but I think I like froYo better.

Before we left, and without her knowing the kids and I hid some eggs in her room for a surprise the next day.  Once she found them all it would spell out a message.

The next morning the kids woke early to see if the bunny had dropped them anything, which of course he did.

Matt was gone all week and into the weekend on a work/play trip so it seemed quieter than normal around here.  The kids had fun checking out their baskets,

and then the hunt was on for some surprise filled eggs. 

They are pretty good hunters, and found all the eggs in no time.

Then the counting, dividing, and trade negotiations began.  I think Chase doesn't really care for chocolate all that much (hence the trading).  Sadi was more than happy to take on any "extra" chocolate he might need to get rid of :)

We relaxed the rest of the morning then headed to the airport later in the day to pick up Daddy.  And just like that the weekend hopped by.
