Last week our MOPS group from church had its annual Easter egg hunt at bear creek park. All the kids had a blast and we had no lost kids or injuries! It was a SUCCESS! Both Irina and Crew had fun hunting for eggs and they loved their personalized baskets too. I was really happy to see that a lot of us moms filled the eggs with toys, stickers, balls, bubbles and other non-candy items. Its healthier and the kids played with their new toys at the park. The kids are getting so big so fast, I'm glad that I can spend all my time with them.

i always take a pic or two at the very end as the characters come out to bow, yes, its a no-no

Today we went to Casa Manana again and watched the very awesome presentation of Peter Pan! Craig takes the morning off for these outings and joins us for a couple of hours of children's theatre. I was really excited to see this show because Peter Pan flew around the stage on a pulley system. Irina absolutely loved watching (and dancing) to this show, her favorite character was Captain Hook; she mostly liked boo-ing and giving him a thumbs-down. I'm so glad that Craig and Daddy-O ge to go with us and see Irina's face light up when the characters sing and dance on stage, she claps and tries to sing along with them. We all had a great time again!

WHOOP!


This past Wednesday my MOPS group from church organized an Easter egg hunt. This is Irina's second Easter but she was under 2mths old last year so I'm calling this her first. I am a complete hippie about things and I took it upon myself to make Irina a recycled basket for her eggs. I used and old egg carton and painted it the family's favorite color...maroon. I just used half and gave the other half to a Spurs fan with Spurs decor. I put some ribbon over the top for a handle and presto!-an earth friendly Easter egg basket that has 6 little nooks for each egg. Irina loves it and helped me put on the ribbon on the bottom and by "help" I mean eating the fabric glue. Craigs only negative comment was "why are we limiting the number of eggs she can get"? He said he always the enjoyed the competition of getting the most eggs...I quickly reminded him that she is 14mths and would probably eat the grass. She proved me wrong and ate some of the wood chips found near the slide and swings instead. She had a great time!
