Happy Easter!

Well, the tooth fairy left Sydney $6.51. A $5 bill because it was her first tooth and $1.51 because that was apparently the value of a tooth on the day she lost it (kind of like the stock market). The tooth fairy left the money for Sydney in the envelope she left on her pillow.

We had a relatively low key weekend (didn't think that was possible around here). Friday, we went to a wedding and had a really nice time! The weather was great and we all had a lot of fun. The kids behaved for the babysitter and had fun making arts and crafts.

Saturday was also pretty low key. Sydney didn't have dance because it was spring break, so we went to the grocery store instead. Sydney was such a big helper! I wear Connor in a carrier when we go shopping, so it's hard to put things in the cart. She and I made a good team and I'd grab something from the shelf and she'd put it in the cart. She even unloaded the cart onto the belt at the check out. We got stuff to make a nice Easter dinner (on Saturday night), but ended up not making it because we all got home too late. Ham won't go bad, so we'll have it next weekend. Too bad we can't do our usual corn bread casserole because it's chock full of dairy :( I ate part of a piece of cheese last week and poor Connor is paying the price still :( He's so uncomfortable. Milk protein is a pain to eliminate because it takes 2 weeks to get out of my system and another 2 weeks to get out of his, so he could be affected for up to a month! Needless to say, I won't be purposefully challenging his tolerance to dairy again any time soon. Not worth it.

Sydney woke up a little before 7 on Easter Sunday and eagerly came to wake us up. I was already in Connor's room, so she got Brad up and we all went down stairs. The bunny had left her a note saying that he hid 12 eggs for her to find. She found them all pretty easily. They were stuffed with peanut butter cups, swedish fish, sweet tarts, and gummies. She even got a chocolate bunny in one of her baskets along with some mini Cadbury Creme eggs and chocolate peeps!

The bunny was good to both kids. Both kids got wi-fi piggy banks. They're pretty cool. Sydney got a new book, Kinetic sand (it's SO much fun!), a nice pair of sunglasses, a new water cup, a stuffed lamb, and a bin of dinosaur figures. Connor got a Nemo ball (which matches the clown fish in our aquarium), sunglasses, a teething toy, some leg warmers, a stuffed monkey, and a book. No candy for him!

Stylish, Oh, la, la!

Cool dude!
