Easter week was pretty busy this year. On Good Friday we headed to New Roads for a crawfish boil at MeMe and PawPaw Bondy's house. YUMMO! All of mom's siblings except for those in North Carolina were there. Anya loves the crawfish, but would not eat the corn or potatoes because they were too spicy. Poor Steven was stuck eating chicken and steamed veggies; he's still to young for crawfish. I'm sure he would have torn into some crawfish if he had been given the chance!! After dinner, Chris took the kids on the four wheeler. Anya had a blast. Steven was neutral about it. I'm sure in a year or so that will change.
On Saturday we went to Barnes and Noble. Someone Chris had gone to high school with, Julie Cantrell, has written two children books: God is with me through the day, and God is with me through the night. She was doing a book reading and signing so we decided to go support her. We talked it up to Anya, who was very excited to go. They are cute books and now we read them every night before bed. After the reading we went to California Pizza Kitchen for some lunch. It was the first time since September that we had taken our kids out to eat. They were so well behaved we might do it again!! Anya also pottied at the restaurant, which was new for us. Potty training is going very well. If only she would poop on the potty! After lunch we walked around Perkins Rowe for a few minutes. They were doing an Easter thing and had some booths set up. We didn't stay long. The kids were tired, and the lines for everything were long. After naps, Anya and I painted eggs. I meant to get dye, but saw the glitter paint, and bought it, not realizing it was paint. Anyway, it was fun and made minimal mess.
On Sunday morning we woke up to find the Easter bunny had come and left some candy in the kids baskets, along with a monogrammed beach towel for each of them. We headed to Mass, which was beautiful, and then to New Roads for lunch at Aunt Bena's house. Megan hid eggs for Anya. MeMe had cooked a yummy pork roast, rice and gravy, green beans, and salad. You should have seen Steven tear up some pork roast!! Of course, there is not much he turns down!
After lunch we headed to GiGi and Paw Paw Marks for dinner. We did an egg hunt inside for Anya and Olivia because it was raining. They didn't seem to mind! While we were there, Steven head butted a table in the living room and busted his lip. It bled for a while and he wouldn't let me ice it. When it finally stopped, it looked like the frenulum was torn and he had a bruise on his gums, but by the next afternoon, it was gone. I'm sure this is the first of many bumps and bruises!!!
Overall it was a very tiring, but wonderful weekend!
