Easter egg hunt and other activities

We went to daycare's Easter egg hunt on Sunday. Someone donated over 600 eggs in Lara's daycare so there were chocolate eggs everywhere! The kids made egg hunt baskets during the week for this occasion. The egg hunt started at 10.30 and finished before 11.30. Lara was very good and kept saying "we have enough eggs now" after only 3 or 4 big eggs were collected. We had to rush home because I had some friends over for lunch at midday.

Kids are so busy these days with so many activities revolved around them. I don't actively organise too many extra outings, there are enough playdates and birthday parties already. I'd like to keep some days for relaxing at home for Lara (& Sam and me!). Here are some of Lara's activities from last year that I forgot to report:

14/Nov/2010- Lara @ Wizzy World (Lochie's birthday party). Imagine this. A very hot day(35C) and a not well-ventilated place with lots of excited kids. It was much warmer indoors. Imagine this : Sam was hot & hungry and I was feeding him. Lara was on one of those giant slides and was crying at the top because she was too scard to come down! Not an enjoyable afternoon for me. but it was the highlight of Lara's Sunday.



30/Nov/2010 - Ballet dress rehearsal. At 4pm on a raining Tuesday. Picked Lara up from daycare at 3pm. Drove in poring rain and got wet even before we arrived. Luckily found the venue and a car space without getting lost. Rushed to put Lara in costume, hair in a bun and make-up. Lara was a little overwhelmed but excited to see the big girls dance. Luckily Sam was at home with Grandparents recovering from a small cold. I was so exhausted afterwards that I went to bed at 7pm leaving Simon to put Lara to bed!

11/Dec/2010 - Daycare Christmas party. Lara had face painting, tattoo stickers and painted a ceramic ladybug with Annie. We saw Santa running across the road when we arrived, he was late like us! Lara was given a little soft toy froggie at a shopping centre by a Santa. She was confused after we saw another Santa somewhere else "Why is this Santa looking different to the other Santa?"
