Grandma and Grandpa B made the trip up Saturday morning. We loved seeing them and planned lots of fun while they were here. After visiting at the house and eating some lunch, we divided in two groups. Josie, Ben, Grandma and I went to the Snow White Ballet. Will, Billy, and Grandpa went to the golf bubble to hit some balls. Originally we had home they'd get to venture outside but it was wet and a bit chilly.
The ballet was amazing. I wasn't sure if the kids would grasp everything, but they sure did. Ben just got off the phone with Grandshe and told her, "The characters didn't say anything, the music said it for them." Bingo! Pretty impressive for a three year old. (We'll work on explaining they are dancers not characters later). Ben sat perfectly still on Grandma's lap the entire show. He was in awe.
Will loved having time with just Grandpa and Dad. Will is Grandpa's #1 fan. He prefers his waffles burnt because that's how Grandpa likes them. Will declared that Grandpa is his golf coach. He listened to his coach and had a fun afternoon with the guys.
Today we woke up and found the Easter Bunny tracks to baskets, ate oatmeal squares for breakfast, started prepping our Easter meal, went to church, dyed eggs, made sock puppets, did an egg hunt then ate at 12:30pm. It was a packed morning, but we didn't rush. We went at a pace to enjoy it all but keep things moving so the kids didn't get restless. We all (yes mom and dad too) took a big nap this afternoon. It was the perfect Easter.
Two funny stories from the weekend:
Will started pointing with his middle finger. He has no idea what it means, but it makes me giggle. Billy was just trying to explain to him to point with his pointer finger. In doing so, Will completely gave his dad "The finger". I am dying from laughter.
Ben was listening as I told him what might be in the eggs for the egg hunt. I mentioned that maybe there will be coupons for things like date night with mom. His response, in a very serious voice, was "coupons are NOT candy mom."
Happy Easter!
