Easter Monday

How awesome to have another public holiday today. The weekend has been so fun but so busy... I think both AK and I were a bit tired today.

This morning was really chilled out. AK did some yoga and ate some candy. Seems kind of wrong, no? I laid down with AK for the resting pose at the end. AK wriggled her way out from underneath my head (my head was resting on her stomach) and leaned over and kissed my forehead and said "love you, mommy". Way to melt my heart :) We read a bunch of books, had some breakfast, played for a bit, changed the batteries in some toys. We then headed outside and walked down to the pool. What a surprise to see two ducks sunning themselves at the side of the pool! They kept taking drinks out of the water and moving around a little bit but they weren't bothered by us at all. I looked up at the building next to the pool and realized that there was also a duck up on the roof too! How cool that was to see.

It was pretty hot out so we came back in to get our swimsuits on and then spent some time in the pool. The whole time we were in there, the ducks did not move from their spots. They kept an eye on us, and we on them, but it was pretty cool to have them hanging out with us.

After lunch, we headed to the movie theater to see a movie with Molly and Cindy!!! AK was VERY excited for her first movie in a theater! I was not so excited about the prices!!! It was $22.50 alone for AK and I to attend the movie, then another $2 for us to buy the 3D glasses. The wrapper said to recycle them, but I'll keep them for the next movie, thank you very much!

I didn't think AK would put the glasses on but she wanted them on right away!

Pretty fashionable, no?

Getting right into it!

Both girls did so well - AK got antsy about halfway through and moved around for a bit but she wasn't too disruptive to the other patrons. Molly ended up crawling into Cindy's lap and fell asleep! Both girls loved the popcorn and seemed to enjoy the movie as well. AK told her daddy later that she "watched TV with Molly" and that "she saw birds!". Ha. She also told him that the Easter Bunny didn't bring her any chocolate at my house, just poop. What a goof.

Anyway... I discovered some games on the Nickelodeon website tonight for AK to play so I think we'll start looking at those once in a while for something to do together. It is really nice to snuggle up on the couch and read books and look at pictures together. These games will be just another thing we can do. xo
