Friday, we had our first gymnastics class. It went well. She was a little shy at first and cried her eyes out when I put her on the trampoline but she eventually warmed up and got into the class. She absolutely loved hanging off the bars! She even started trying to hang from some little monkey bars at the park yesterday. Unfortunately, they played no Beyonce' songs, hahaha. These were the best pictures..... There was a lot of moving around in this class ;)
Afterwards we had our play group egg hunt and potluck. I went the easy route and melted some white chocolate and dipped pretzel rods in it, and then sprinkled them with Easter sprinkles. The kids seemed to enjoy them. Now, this was our first egg hunt and I wasn't sure if she was going to get it. I was wrong! She got the hang of it so much that she took more than what she was supposed to have. Each kids was allowed 5 eggs. She had 12.....oops! It was not fun taking those eggs out of her basket and giving them to other kids. I'm pretty sure she thought I was the meanest mommy, EVER!!! Of course, when I gave her a piece of candy, she shut right up!
Saturday, we went to an event hosted by the city called, Springtacular. They had the Easter bunny for pictures. We didn't even attempt that this year because she was so frightened by Santa Claus. Plus, this bunny looked a little suspect. They did have other activities and games that were fun. We did some cookie decorating, games and lots of running! The egg hunt was split up by age groups which I thought was a great idea, because I wouldn't want to smack a big kid, if they pushed my baby, trying to get some candy! (Ok, my blood pressure got high just thinking about that! HA!)

Of course Sunday we did an egg hunt just for Madeleine at the house. At this hunt she wanted to open every egg as she got it. She was looking for the candy! She would throw her quarters in her basket and move right along to the next one and shake it. She knew the heavier ones were quarters and the lighter ones were candy, haha. Smart girl! She definitely ate enough candy for two Madeleines.
That was our weekend in a nutshell. Hope you all had a great Easter!
When John was little, when he did the egg hunts at home, if he picked up a colored hard boiled egg, he would throw it back down. He only wanted the plastic ones because he knew those had the good stuff in them! :-) Glad you guys had a good weekend!
