Pre-school Easter Party

Today was Handley's school Easter party and she was really excited for several different reasons.  She was really looking forward to the egg hunt at school and was also really happy that it would be "just us" at her party since Sheila was going to babysit Harper for me.

The kids in her class were just as excited about finding the eggs and as soon as the doors were open all the eggs were found in less than 3 minutes.  Those are some fast egg-finding kids!




After the hunt we went back to their class for a pizza lunch, a cute Easter craft and a game.  Handley was happy to get to the car and start opening her eggs to find what kind of treats and candy were inside.  She was sweet enough to tell me she was going to share all of her candy with Harper since she didn't get to find eggs today.

However, Harper was having plenty of fun of her own with Addyson.  I love when Sheila babysits Harper for me because I know they are always going to stay busy with lots of fun activities.  Today was no exception.  They painted flower pots, planted wild flower seeds in those pots, played with bubbles outside, had lunch and even made cookies.  No wonder she likes going over there. :-)


Tonight after dinner we were outside watering the flowers with the garden hose and Handley thought it was funny to keep getting a tiny bit wet from the spray blowing.   Well, with hose in Daddy's hands that tiny bit wet turned into completely soaking.  Handley thought it was hilarious to try to run through the water as he was spraying the yard and he gave up trying to keep her dry.  Handley told me she didn't even need a bath because she had taken a shower outside! Harper thought it was all fun and games until her shirt got wet and then she wasn't so sure, but she kept coming back for more, so I guess she was loving it too.

Awe! I love this post!! :) I laughed multiple times too! Looks like daddy enjoyed hosing down the girls just a bit too. So funny!
Erica- for sure! We would have a play-school here if we could.
