On Saturday Jon's parents came to town. His mom and I spent the day shopping around for chalk paint and knobs for a dresser she is redoing for baby girls room, while the boys did boring man stuff like put tires on Jon's car. We had a blast just going from shop to shop.
That night Jon and I met up with some of our favorite friends and saw Aziz Ansari. It was so nice to get out of the house for a little while without River in tow. We don't really go on a lot of grown up dates so this was a special treat for us. The show was good too, even though I caught myself yawning a lot. I'm just not used to going all day long anymore!
The next morning River was so excited to see that the Easter Bunny had come in the night and filled his basket with goodies. He brought him a dragon, some candy, and 48 pack of crayola sidewalk chalk. Mama is really excited about the last one. I have a feeling we will be doing lots of sidewalk coloring for as long as I am able to get up and down with ease. Mom and Dad gave River a new movie, a giant chocolate bunny, and a chocolate cross. The Easter Bunny would have given those to River, but River saw those in the closet a few weeks ago. Being a parent and hiding all this from inquisitive little minds is so difficult, and we obviously need better hiding spots.
The Easter Bunny also hid eggs all over our back yard. River got to enjoy his last Easter being an only child and getting all the eggs to himself. He actually got tired of hunting for a little while and excused himself to go pee! His favorite part was finding a little Easter Slug on a hard boiled egg.
After the egg hunt we had a big Easter breakfast with pancakes, biscuits, eggs, sausage, and bacon. I made River this adorable bunny pancake with M&M eyes (stolen from his Easter basket) and bacon whiskers.
We have spent the rest of the day relaxing while River as scarfed down M&Ms, jelly beans, and chocolate. We finally put a stop to it when it became apparent all that sugar wasn't ever going to make him sick!
