Oh, but the weather was lovely this weekend! Today I took a blanket and a book out onto the green spring grass. Before reading I had a nice relaxing nap while listening to the sounds of the girls playing out in the sunshine. Later the wind picked up just a little, which scared Sophie inside to read her book. Hannah picked some onion grass for their recess playings at school and then joined me on the blanket for awhile.

I've been hanging laundry on the line and the daffodils have bloomed, spreading their sunshiny color to brighten the backyard. Yesterday the girls and I attended an Easter egg hunt down at the park. There were crafts to do, everything from coloring to decorating cookies to making bead necklaces.

They took the kids out in age groups, the preschoolers first. So Hannah and Sophie did crafts while they waited their turn. Sophie was in the middle group. Since she was hesitant, wanting me to be right by her, she wasn't quick enough to get more than two eggs. And then she was upset that she only had two.

Hannah's group, the oldest kids, were ruthless. They took off running and didn't care about anyone else. Hannah managed to get 8 or 9 eggs.

Once the kids had cleared out the area, Sophie and I walked back through with one of the volunteers. The older kids had gone through so quickly that they missed quite a few eggs. Sophie collected the ones left behind and ended up with six eggs total.

We'll look forward to the church Easter egg hunt this coming Saturday for an event that's a little more calm and equitable. In the meantime, I'll be hoping this beautiful spring weather continues!
