An easter egg hunt.... that pretty much was the extent of the Easter festivities in the Chen household this year. Very simple... no big dinner... just bbq'd steaks like we would any other day of the week. The dust is finally settling and we're getting back into the routine of life after getting back from vacation.
We actually came home on Wednesday night at almost midnight (so I guess I can say we got home 5 minutes before it was Thursday). I don't know exactly what I was thinking when I planned to have both kids at school Thursday morning. My alarm clock went off at the usual 7:10am and my body felt like it was only 4:10 (Hawaii time). I am not a morning person and was just too tired so I ended up turning off the clock and sleeping in until 8. Got myself ready, then Collin and got him to school - half an hour late but he still made it. Then took Cayla to Mommy and Me. On Friday, the lack of sleep and food caught up with me and gave me a major migrane headache for most of the day. It was my Dad's birthday so we headed to my parents house to celebrate with a Good Friday dinner of fish and chips and a chocolate snickers cake. Saturday, we took the kids the Lowe's for another kid's project.... it was cute, a little miniature golf windmill with a little club and ball. Then I headed to Target to get some Easter stuff for the kids. Lesson learned.... I will not wait until the day before Easter to buy Easter egg goodies. The store was soooo picked over and I had to search and search to find a few decent things. That's what I get for waiting until the last minute. Then I had a little me time and went to Oasis to pick up some new scrappy supplies since they got so much new stuff in while I was gone. Bought a bunch of things I plan to use for the Hawaii pics I haven't even gone through yet LOL.
And now we are at Sunday... hope you all had a happy Easter! After the kids did there little egg hunt, I spent the day folding six loads of laundry and cleaning the house. Total tornado after unpacking from vacation, going through all the newspapers and the mail... I think I can finally say things are getting back to normal, although the kids sleeping schedules are still slightly off.
Here are a few pictures from today's egg hunt.
Cute pics! I forgot to ask you if the kids liked their baskets? Not sure if Collin was into Spider Man more than the Wiggles or the Mickey or Thomas.
Fish and Chips and Snicker Cake...so yummy, so yummy, there's a something in my tummy... forgot the words to ghetto show... ha ha... my kids sing that song all the time.

Welcome back! Glad to hear you're getting back into the swing of things. It usually takes me a week after being away from home.
Cayla's such a cutie in her dress!
