On Thursday Claire hosted a party here at the house where the kids hunted for eggs with bags that they decorated just before the hunt, hit a pinata, which Lennon called a "peeonah," had cupcakes and played around in the woods behind the house a lot.
Then Saturday morning we went over to the Brill's house for another Easter party. There we had brunch an amazing egg hunt and lots of playing on the swing set in the Brills garden. They also gave us some strawberry plants to take home and put in our garden.
This morning we got up and went to church at The Cambridge Vinyard, a nondenominational charismatic church. It's where my mom's group meets on Monday mornings, so Lennon was already very familiar with the childcare there and had a really fun time and another egg hunt while we were in service.
After we got home and put Lennon down for his nap we went downstairs for an Easter brunch hosted by our newest neighbor, Jennifer the Aggie. The whole house got together and had lunch out on our new patio behind the house. It was the first time the whole house has gotten together for anything and we had a great time.
After Lennon was up from his nap, full bellies and all, we drove back over to The Brill's house for an Easter Sunday turkey dinner. The kids played a lot outside again and Mia even has a little bit of a tan on her face just from the last few days of nice weather. We're finally home and the day is coming to an end. However, as soon as I'm done posting this I'm going to have to go crazy cleaning the house cause it's a total wreck right now.
Our sixth celebration will come next week when the Easter Bunny visits our house while Granmommy is here with us. We thought we'd save decorating eggs and all that for when the kids had a grandma here to enjoy it with them.
Oh yeah, the poop part. Lennon has been dubbed The Little Leprechaun lately by my friends. He is just so precious, but oh so naughty! He's not doing anything mean to other kids, just testing cause and effect and seeing how much power he has in certain situations. He also is still having accidents now and again, and the "accident" today takes the cake. He had already had his underwear taken off and was only wearing pants (from a tiny pee accident) when he apparently pooped on the Brill's patio and walked away as if nothing had happened. The girls ran across it and came to tell us they thought they had found some poop. After inspecting it and Lennon we realized what had happened. I had to take several deep breaths to get through this one. It was tough, but after we got him cleaned up and in fresh clothes that Suzanne gave us we went back to the party and had a nice time. Shelby and Kevin cleaned up the patio poop and washed it away with bleach while I was cleaning up Lennon. I think I actually got the better end of that deal.
Happy Easter!
