Easter Fun ...
Apr. 9th, 2007 02:39 amWell, we had a pretty low-key Easter weekend. Busy, but low-key, all the same, and fun, too, I think.
On Saturday, we took the kiddo to see her very first movie in the theater. We saw "Meet the Robinsons", and a good time was had by all. My daughter was a bit scared by the "villian" in the movie -- a hat that walks around on spindly legs, which makes it look rather like a large spider. Luckily, sitting in her Daddy's lap made her feel safe enough to stay through the whole movie, because I think she really enjoyed it. She is still talking about it now, a day later. And, believe me ... that's really something for a three-year-old.
We were supposed to dye eggs on Saturday, but we ended up being out all day. We left around noon and ate lunch, then went from there to the movie. The movie was a lot longer than I expected it to be, so it was dinner time by the time we got out, and we ate dinner at CPK, one of my favorite restaurants, since I love the food and it's incredibly kid-friendly. Then, we stopped by our local computer store and headed home. I think it was around 9:30 or 10 by the time we got home, and I had to do my "Easter Bunny" duty and put the baskets together. I made one for the kiddo and one for my hubby, since I found out last Thursday that he has never had an Easter basket. I figured better late than never, so I picked up a little gift and some candy for him, too. Anyhow, got the baskets put together, and, then, was up until around 3 AM writing. *dies* Needless to say, we didn't manage to dye eggs this year. Maybe next year. *nervous laugh*
Then, today, we got up a bit later than planned, thanks to my late night, plus the fact that it was cold as heck in the house last night. I ended up getting no sleep. But, getting up a bit later gave us the chance to let our daughter open her Easter basket before we headed out to lunch. And, that was fun. I love watching her get so much enjoyment out of the smallest things. Then, we went to lunch. We didn't have reservations anywhere, but lucked out and managed to eat at a favorite restaurant, without even having to wait for a table, which was shocking. After, we drove around to look at some of the local blooming trees, since we missed the Cherry Festival this year. Then, we headed home, and had some egg hunting fun with the kiddo. It was cold today -- around 30-35, with strong winds, but she still had a great time running around picking up eggs. I was shivering by the time we were done, though.
I spent the evening enjoying two of my surprise Easter gifts -- a new laptop, courtesy of my hubby, to help "jump start" my writing, which is almost fatally stalled at the moment. I think it worked, too, because I got a lot done tonight. And, the fifth season box set of Law & Order. I think they were both supposed to be birthday gifts, actually, but, that's not a big deal. It's fun and was a wonderful surprise, either way. So, I was thrilled. *happeh vibes*
And, that was it for my holiday weekend. Pretty boring, huh? But, hey, boring is kind of nice sometimes. ^.^
I hope everyone else had a fun holiday, too! (Well, provided you celebrate the holiday, that is.)
