Egg-stra Special

The sky looked somewhat ominous and I was getting more nervous by the second! Today was the day we were hosting a play date for our MOPS friends. Lexie was so excited to have everyone come over to her house to play and look for Easter Eggs! Luckily, the weather held and we were able to hide all of our eggs outside (and not in the basement like we thought we were going to have to do!). We had a GREAT turn out and the kids really seemed to enjoy coloring eggs, playing on the play set, and especially finding eggs hidden in the back yard! Thanks to all of the moms for coming out!


Most of the kids headed straight for the play set when they first arrived!


Let the egg dying begin!

Dying eggs was tons of fun...and not nearly as messy as I had envisioned!


Ready...set...go! Cole, Addyson, and Noah anxiously looking for Easter eggs!


Ella and Lexie found some eggs under the slide and behind the rock wall.

Olivia did better than I thought she would...though she still only grabbed one egg--as soon as she figured out there was something in it (ie food) she wasn't interested in ANYTHING else!

Noah found a green egg and was really curious as to what was inside!!

The 'play park' (as Lexie likes to call it) was a huge hit---and thankfully, no one got hurt!!

Picnic, Park & Mops???

It was a BEAUTIFUL day for a play date---and while we were scheduled to meet at the mall's play area--we quickly rescheduled outside! We headed to the North Fayette Park to meet up with our MOPS friends for a picnic and play date! It was just what the doctor ordered!!!

Olivia was fascinated by the tunnel!
One more time through the tunnel!
Lexie was in heaven--she said "Mommy, we've never been to this play park before---I LOVE IT HERE!"

Wheeeeeeee! Look out below!
Carter (who is a day younger than Olivia) found a favorite spot to play too!

All the kids had a great time...(as well as the moms!). Can't wait for our next get together!
