Weekend Full of Fun

We had a fun weekend. The weather has been GEORGEOUS! It's been between 75 and 80. It all started Friday night after James got off work. We went to Costco. I know that doesn't sound like fun, but it was. Alexandria had fun on James' shoulders and Clayson enjoyed being in the basket playing with his bowl of snacks. He kept dropping the bowl on the ground and I'd say, "uh-oh." After a few times he too began saying "uh-oh." I was so excited...this is his first word (is it really a word?)...other than "mama" and "dada."

Saturday morning we got up and headed to I.H.O.P. after having seen the Dr. Seuss movie "Horton Hears a Who" or as Alexandria says "Horton Whose a Who." They have a breakfast menu based on the movie. Alexandria enjoyed her JoeJoe pancakes...but our food was nasty!!!

Later Saturday afternoon we went to my grandparent's development and played all afternoon in their park/grassy-area. There is nothing but grass, trees, a few benches and open space out there. We set up our own little play area and Alexandria and Clayson had so much fun. As did Gaga, Mommy and Daddy.

Saturday night Alexandria and Daddy had fun staining thier hands decorating Easter eggs. It was a messy job. I don't know who enjoyed it more...James or Alexandria.

After waking up Easter Sunday we realized the Easter Bunny had come. Clayson enjoyed his toys, although he doesn't quite understand. And of course Alexandria was excited. Auntie Alise informed Alexandria that the Easter Bunny and Santa are best friends. Now everything she sees she says she wants Santa to bring it to her for Christmas. She obviously has no concept of time...Christmas is a long way off. After Church we went to Mamaw & Papaw's for yummy food. Alexandria couldn't wait to have an egg hunt. She had so much fun. Uncle Josh and Daddy hid them in some hard-to-find places, but hopefully we found them all. Clayson got 2 eggs. He was very interested in the real eggs. He picked one out of his basket and tried to eat it. He got a taste of Uncle Josh's egg and he liked it. Auntie didn't quite appreciate Clayson spitting the egg into her straw. She went to take a sip of coffee and had egg. NASTY!!! As you can see...we had a weekend full of fun!!!

We hope all of you had a great Easter and a good start to your Spring!
