today was our Mill Creek Easter egg hunt.. this was supposed to be our third year but because of the wedding madness last year.. it was skipped.. that and it was raining ;) but this year it was beautiful out.. and olive totally understands the eggies.. chocolate.. easter bunny situation.. so we went.. and it was fun.. minus my hay-fever randomly acting up for the first time this year :0
she was ready! you can see her strut through this photo!
there were bouncy houses.. free Starbucks coffee.. guess the jelly beans and lots of people.. so needless to say. me and my shy peanut did none of that.. but instead we played in the grass and put flowers and rocks in hereaster basket purse.. her beautiful pink purse.. she was very excited to watch the kids play in the bouncy castles.. I just knew there was no way she would even attempt to go in.. so we sat and watched..
she grasped the “you have to wait” concept.. and we stood patiently outside the caution tape talking about how the easter bunny brought these eggies.. filled with chocolate.. or in olives world..
chaaaaaaaalk-let
it was go time.. and it was a shit show.. there were so many people there.. over 15’000 eggies.. and she managed to get 4.. and the whole thing lasted about 25 seconds.. I thought of Lu the whole time.. because she was there to witness my over-involved parenting skills 3 years ago.. when I was stealing from children so that my baby girl could have eggies for her basket.. lord help me when she goes to school :0
it was just me and her there.. so this was the best shot of the two of us that I could get.. the part that broke my heart was when she looked around and put her hands up “wheres papa? wheres daddy?” one day olive.. one day..
the other thing that broke my heart is when she was strutting so proud with her easter basket on the way to the car.. so proud of her treats.. and she bailed on her shoe lace and her purse and eggies went flying!! she looked so upset :( but then we turned the corner to see the firetruck display.. and all was forgotten.. and mama had no problem heading over to inspect thefireman firetruck ;)
we headed back to the car.. only to realize it was unlocked and my purse was sitting in there with my wallet :0 well. I can be grateful it was still in there at least.. haha..
where is my head these days!!
I let her eat all the chocolate eggies she wanted.. and she was in Heaven.. and now.. I am going to attempt to put my sugar buzzed little lady to bed!!
Winston and bbQ.. you were missed!!
