This year was the coldest Easter we've ever had here! The neighborhood Easter egg hunt was the week before Easter, and it was overcast and cold. Luckily those kids grab those eggs fast and we were in and out in 30 minutes!
William was on Spring Break for the entire week, but since he's a tax accountant's kid, we aren't going anywhere until the end of April. Instead, he played at home for the week around mom and dad's work schedules. Since John was traveling, I worked two days at home. My original plan was to take William into the office with me but I was too busy. As in, I can't make the kiddo stay in my office for 14 hours - so I worked it at the dining room table and he played all day! The next day, we couldn't go to the city because he had noon baseball practice. But that lack of a commute meant we did have time to sneak in an hour for the Easter egg decorating!
Thursday I got up bright and early and did my usual commute in. Unfortunately it ended in this walking boot, as I slipped on a piece of plastic littering the steps as I was unloading from the train. Good Friday was back at home as I nursed my ankle.
William got two Easter baskets this year. A Harry & David snack box from Uncle Ryan and Tarek arrived on Friday. And another appeared on Saturday with mommy's favorite candy and his own iPad plug (so that mommy's iPhone cord can stop disappearing) and his new favorite game, Jenga!
Since we didn't "go" anywhere for Spring Break, we booked a room in the city for one night. We lived it up! Rolled ice cream, the Field Museum (with lots of breaks for sore feet - me in my boot and William in a new pair of sneakers we didn't realized needed breaking in), Jenga building, pizza and a cold swimming pool at the hotel, Easter brunch at Beatrix, and then a military history museum.
And when we got home the Easter Bunny had left eggs in the front yard! He was so excited that one of the eggs was golden!
