This weekend was quite eventful. I made it to 30 weeks and it was Easter on
Sunday. We had a lot of stuff to do this
weekend. On Friday, Mills and I just chilled
at home. I was tired because on Thursday
night I couldn’t sleep, she was tired because there were a lot of activities at
school that day. We basically came home,
I got dinner ready, we ate dinner, I gave her a bath, then we settled into bed,
she was watching Barney on the Ipad and I was reading a book, we both fell
asleep. I’m sure it would have been a
cute photo op, but no one there to take it.
Saturday, I decided to get some
doughnuts for breakfast. We went to
Dunkin Doughnuts, Mills requested the pink one!
How girly! So I got us a half
dozen mixed and of course her pink one.
Then I was able to stop by the photographer’s place and grab our
pics. I love them. I don’t really love a black background…but
these pics ended up nice. It’s crazy because
ever since Mills was born we have taken family pics…I haven’t got any of them
developed! I KNOW. In the age where it’s easier then ever, I
have nothing. So I’m making it a point
to get them developed and displayed. The
only sucky thing is that its hard here because it cost so much to get pics
developed here. I sure do miss
Costco. I checked, for an 8x10 its 480
Yen, that’s like $6 US dollars. I know
madness. Anyways, back to our day. We went to the hospital they were having an
egg hunt for kids on Saturday. I took
Mills there. I wanted to give her a
taste of how it would be on Sunday. This
would be the first time she would have to really compete with other kids for
eggs. She did really WELL! She even got an egg with a prize in it! She proudly walked around for the rest of the
day with 2 Easter Baskets. That night
after dinner we decorated eggs. I hate
things being messy. I know I’m crazy cuz
I have a 2 year old and soon to be newborn so messy will just be a way of
life. But I’m a little OCD about
it. We have a housekeeper that comes
once a month to clean, like deep clean, and I pick up before they come! Yup, crazy.
Either way, I knew that this was going to be a task for me, I knew it
was going to be messy and I needed to be fine with it because Amelia was having
a good time. It took all of me not to
freak out. In the end it wasn’t too bad,
Mills had a ball and the eggs turned out pretty cute. Not too shabby after a 20 year hiatus from dying
eggs.
Sunday was a wonderful day! It was Easter Sunday. Unfortunately this is the 2nd
Easter in a row that Morgan has missed….sucks.
We tried to make the best out of it.
In the am I gave Mills her baskets, yes plural, she got one from her OR
grandparents and one from us. She was
pretty stoked, but what really got her going was the bubbles that we gave her! She was having a ball blowing and popping
bubbles. We went to the 10 am mass, we
met up with the B fam. After church
there was an egg hunt, that was MADNESS!
There were like a billion kids running all over. The egg hunt area was sectioned off by age,
when the older kids eggs ran out they started jumping over the ropes and
getting into the little kids area (Mills’ age group was 1-3) . That was super annoying. I took off my shoes and had to run while I
dragged Mills to get eggs before the big kids could get them….all while being
almost 8 months prego. All in all Mills
only ended up with 4 eggs. It was sort
of a blessing in disguise because she has gotten so much candy from her baskets
and the egg hunt before. After the hunt
we went to brunch at the Officer’s club.
It was super busy, but what else would I expect on an Easter
Sunday??? It was delish, we ate till out
hearts’ content and some. Mills was
giving me a bit of trouble, I knew she was tired and in need of a nap. Soon as we were done and I got her in the car,
she fell asleep in 2.5 seconds….out cold.
When we got home I also partook in a nap with her. I spent the rest of the day finishing up
laundry and getting ready for the week ahead.
Weekends are of course my
favorite part of the week. This was our
first weekend without Morgan. I was glad
that we were blessed with beautiful weather and we had activities to keep us
occupied. Mills still asks about her
daddy, I figure the busier we keep ourselves time will go faster and he will be
home sooner rather than later.
