I was worried that Hailey would be sick for the weekend b/c she started getting a cough and runny nose on Wed/Thurs. Fortunately we were still able to have a great weekend. Good Friday was mostly spent in the kitchen (for me) as I was busy baking two cakes and avacado dip to bring to the family parties. I actually found a nut-free cake mix at the health food store in Covent Garden Market. It turned out really well (we tested one the week before to make sure!). Saturday morning we headed to Mike's parents' house early (8:30am) so that we would be there in lots of time to help with dinner (his Grandma had a bad fall and broke several bones and his mom just had carpel tunnel surgery). Hailey had a great time with her Poppi and her cousin Olivia (and everyone else but that's who she paid attention to most!) She also scored some pretty cool presents including her first tricycle!
She knew that she was supposed to blow out the candle on her cake and did a pretty good job too!
On Easter Sunday we went to Grandma's house for dinner. Hailey managed to stay up until 4pm but had to have a nap at that point. I don't even think we got any pictures there b/c she wasn't awake long enough!
Since her birthday fell on Easter Monday this year and I had the day off I kept her home from daycare. We went to the Children's Museum where they had Easter stuff going on still and she got her face painted (like a kitty), decorated an Easter egg and saw the Easter bunny (no pic with him though b/c she was scared of him!) We spent most of the time in the sand box though!
After we got home from that I gave her the big birthday present we had for her which was a water table. She loved it and spent a lot of time out there. It was pretty funny when she decided her stuffed monkey needed a bath. We'll have to let him dry out a bit. I texted Mike a couple of the pics while he was at work.
I only have three more weeks of co-op left and then it's back to school for the summer! I will miss it there but it will be nice to be back in class again. There are so many courses that I wanted to take but I think I have it down to Marketing and PR, Knowledge Management, and Collection Development. Then I'll have my degree! Almost there, now just to find a job...
