We went to the early church service for Easter. The sound mix/bass at our church has really bothered Carrie, but she was up for service after surviving a show on the ship.
We ended up in the lobby to listen, but I was happy to have her at my side.
The weather was beautiful when we got back.
All the kids were out save Rah!
Shane wasn't into the arts and crafts beforehand.
But he's been real big on bunny ears!
We ran into a family that Carrie knows. The family has triplets who had wanted to see a horse and she invited them all out to visit Nibs for free. They picked something else up from us when we were donating items to clear out the house and now they're acquaintances. Funny how that happens.
The kids all piled out for the egg hunt at 10:30 AM after an Easter story. The eggs were empty to represent the empty tomb (and probably to save on work and prevent squabbles!).
The kids were off in a flash when the signal was given. It can take hours to clean up a simple mess, but kids will pick a playground full of eggs clean in under five minutes.
Shane's basket spilled under the slide and some of the other kids descended like vultures upon him. He wasn't too happy about it!
I let him climb in a tree while Carrie and the family talked. Shane worried an older woman who asked him to get down. He looked at me and I nodded. "Not our turf and some little kids are mimicking you." Carrie was a little worried, too, but I commented, "He could fall head first and not crack anything from that height," to (not) reassure her.
Shane tried to get his climb on elsewhere, but it wasn't the same.
We got smoothies and went to Lowe's afterward.
The outside fun continued when we got home. The weather was too good to take time to change.
Shane's been on a baseball kick.....which is ironic since he asked me not to sign him up for it!
I pitched some whiffle balls for him before we went inside. It was a low-key Easter, but the day still felt special to me.
