Lincoln headed off to school on Good Friday . . . it was supposed to be an off day but ended up being a make-up snow/ice day. Beau and Mommy spent a few hours cleaning up the backyard. The giant tree was shedding buds like crazy, and pollen was everywhere! We cleaned up the buds and hosed and cloroxed everything! After we picked up Lincoln from school, it was time for haircuts with Mr. Danny. They both finished looking sharp!
We hit up Tom Tom while Daddy made a Whole Foods run, and we were all ready for a play date/dinner with the Johansson's. Lincoln and Isak were on a T-Ball team together last spring and an indoor soccer team in the summer. They weren't in the same Kindergarten class this year, but we are reconnecting over spring baseball. We only live a few streets away from each other, and Isak is a fun kid so we had a great evening with them. We did some playing in the backyard while Daddy grilled hot dogs and burgers, and they everyone enjoyed a nice dinner and lots of fun conversation. The boys all had popsicles around 8:30!
It was Ninja soccer time on Saturday morning, and the boys were ready! We were down three players due to the holiday, but the remaining 5 boys really stepped up. It was an awesome game, and our boys really played so well. It's so fun to watch Lincoln being super fast and into the defensive mode. He is meant to be a goalie! Team High Five after the game!!!
We got cleaned up and had a little lunch then headed to the club for the Easter Party. A lovely bunny lady magician entertained the kids for a half hour. She was great with the kids!
Of course, her last magic trick was to pull a bunny out of a box (not hat), and everyone loved that! The kids all lined up for a turn to pet Maybel the bunny. Lincoln's face says it al when it was almost his turn. How exciting to touch a real bunny!!!! (Not surprisingly, they got their hands washed and sanitized just moments later!) It was funny to watch them pet the bunny.
We gathered out front for the egg hung, and Lincoln and Beau were feeling like old pros. They decided on a strategy . . . run far away from everyone to maximize the eggs before the other kids caught up. Egg hunting is serious business!
We were lucky to have some close friends at the party. Lincoln, Beau, Hannah, and Shayne closed down the bounce house, and they had so much fun. It's great to have fun friends and fun parents to share these events with. (And Mr. Richard was the funnest dad ever chasing the kids around the bounce house!)
The weather was amazing for Friday and Saturday, albeit full of pollen and other allergens. Perhaps some of us will pay for that later, but we all had a great couple of days outside. Easter Sunday is next!
