Spring time Saturday!

We got up this morning and went over to St. Simon (our church) for their annual Easter Egg hunt. It was c-o-l-d, but we bundled up and braced ourselves for the insanity that is an egg hunt with preschoolers. The girls did great - thank goodness! The hunt was broken into four age groups - 0 to 2; 3-4; 5-6; and then first grade to fifth grade. So luckily the girls were in the same area. They ran off into the field and filled their bags full of goodies. Afterwards Lily said "Mom, can you BELIEVE I got thirteen eggs?!?!" She was so excited. You'll note this big goose "egg" on Addy's head - she suffered that injury last week while in the Trader Joe's parking lot.







After we left St. Simon we headed up to Conner Prairie for the opening day of their outdoor areas. The weather had warmed up by 11:00 or so and it was absolutely beautiful outside while we were there. We checked out the Indian village and a test of our survival skills.....we could only name 3 of the 5 furs and also got a 3 out of 5 on the test of wilderness myths. Since we weren't fairing so well, we left without trying the tomahawk (sp?) toss or trying to start a fire with a mirror. After leaving the Indian Village, we went over to the barn to see the new animals. Addy befriended a baby goat - at some point I looked over and the goat was nibbling at the bottom of her sweater. Lily spent some time petting the baby cow. I thought the baby sheep were fabulous - they looked like little white furballs --- so so cute! After that we were starving so we left and headed to McDonalds. While there, the girls got dragons in their happy meals, which reminded them about the new movie that they had seen previews for. So we may go see "How to Train your Dragon" tomorrow if it rains. Girls are napping now and Barclay's cleaning my car. I'm going to go pick out my outfit for tonights dinner at Matteos for my birthday. Can't wait!

BFFs

Lily and Addy had their best friends forever, Neely and Maeve, over for a play date. Neely and Maeve go to Ms. Amy's for day care with the girls and are exactly the same age as our girls. Neely is 5 days older than Lily. They are hilarious how their interests mirror one another. Neely and Lily went immediately to the girls room, stripped down, and tried on every dress-up dress and real dress in Lily's room. Note that Lily's dress is on backwards in this picture - there was no time for attention to details, what with 50 dresses to try on and then throw on the floor :) Addy and Maeve weren't so into the dress ups. They went into the play room and played with the animal toys - the climb on animals, farm set, etc. Perfect little play mates!
