a little easter party.

Using finds from Dollar Tree and things bought during after-Easter clearance last year, I put together a little Easter party for Millie & Gracie... they did a quick egg hunt, ate a snack, played with sand & chalk outside, and then watched as we dyed a few eggs. Gracie wasn't feeling so hot, so it was a quick morning together but I'm happy we did it!

so simple, yet fun to but together.
i love the egg hunt signs!
Millie enjoyed hunting for the eggs. She started singing the "clean up" song while she hunted around... that's my girl!
the weather was perfect to be outside!
she loved seeing the eggs come out a different color...
jamie & gracie will be moving in a few months, and we are so sad.
i can't imagine not spending time with them every week!

our wednesday and thursday.

swim lesson #2.
a millie & mama dinner date at target...
a bathtime tea party!
i finally bought a potty. she has been so interested in it... seeing others at friends' houses & being aware of when she goes in her diaper. we are so not ready to potty train, but i think it is time for some books & videos to start learning about it!
we had some warm weather finally!
dance shoe shopping. millie needed the smallest size they had... a 5.5 was just perfect. and we got a little black leotard too!
a sunhat for our mail walk... we are ready for summer!
looking forward to our 3day weekend with g!
