Busy Bunnies!

Saturday was quite a busy day! ODW had an Easter Egg Hunt at 10, well technically they had 3- one for the little kids (6 and under) one for kids 6-12, and then one for all ages. The girls had a ball, and Chris- who of course wouldn't participate actually hung out with me the entire time, walking to all 3 different fields! Bri Bri was in 7th heaven- her best friend Aryanna was there and they spent most of the day together. ODW offered egg dyeing at the Pavillion, craft hour, pool games, a Bunny Popper race, and a Bunny Hop (DJ Dance) from 8-11. The girls lasted about an hour at the dance- they were so cute- shaking their booties! ;0) Then Brianna, who was EXHAUSTED from her busy day passed out in my arms. Chris went back to the trailer and got a blanket for her to lay on and we tucked her in a corner. Katherine spent most of the rest of the evening sitting with her- she was so tired too, but insisted that she wasn't ready to go home. Brianna has been asleep for the past 12 hours- I guess all these activites really took their toll on her- not to mention the 2 hours that she spent in the pool! I decided that I desperatly needed a nap and Daddy volunteered to take B. to the pool, I slept about an hour and walked up there, Katherine had finished Craft hour, and decided to join them. There were several little girls in there for them to play with and they were having a great time! There are so many cute bathing suits for sale in the little girls dept., but I pass them all by. The bathing suits with the built in floating padding are one of the best inventions ever! Although, I must admit that they are not very attractive- the benefits certainly outweigh the lack of fashion consciousness! Elton had planned on cooking chicken on the grill, but the kids were keeping us so busy, we opted just to eat leftovers instead. We had plenty from the night before, Elton ended up going to Ukrops, and buying some of their Macaroni and Cheese from the deli section (Kristy- Aryanna's mom insists that its the best in the world) I really liked it, you could tell it was homemade with real ingredients, and I'm almost positive that it had eggs in it. It reminded me of the Mac and Cheese we had in Savannah at Paula Deen's restaurant- The Lady and Sons. The rest of the family was not crazy about it. As far as boxed M&C goes, I am a Kraft girl, Elton is a Velveeta guy, which I find personally kind of disgusting. I hate the toxic orange cheesy goo that you have to squeeze out of the envelope- I think it has a strange aftertaste... I am having mixed emotions about going home today. One one hand, I am having a great time, and don't want to leave Elton and Katherine up here for another week, and on the other hand- the trailer is not especially condusive to comfort! I miss my pillowtop mattress! I hate this couch- I would have brought our old family room couch up here, that we recently coonverted to Brianna's big girl room. It was extremly comfortable! Except- #1 this one folds out into a bed when necessary, and #2 the hassle of getting the couch up here, and the fact that it might possibly not even make it through the door. In fact that is a distinct probability! The door is not especially generous. I started on my spring cleaning yesterday, and only finished the outside. Our screened in tent, which was fine 3 weeks ago, had dryrotted and torn in several places (they only last about a year, and unfailingly need to be replaced after winter...) The rug that we had under the picnic table finally gave up the ghost, and we had various junk in the storage bins, that I either decided to trash or take home. Conveniently Chris deemed our closest dumpster "too full" so we put the stuff in the back of the van and HE drove to another dumpster on the other side of the campground. If he would have bothered to remove the suitcases from the back of the van, or at least folded the back seat down, all our junk would have easily gone in one load. But of course we had to make 2! He did surprisingly well, and so did I! I didn't freak out once. I absolutely positively 100% HATE the idea of him driving! Once we were doing yardwork and needed to move the cars back in the driveway to blow out from underneath of them- I mean we're talking straight back- maybe 15 feet and I was so panicked and full of instructions that Chris was like "never mind mom, you do it)! I don't want to be that mom. UGH!
