Long Weekend

We had a wonderful long Easter weekend. Charleigh's daycare was closed on Good Friday and Monday. I worked from home on Friday and took Monday off. I will say that working from home with an active toddler is... interesting. Overall, Charleigh did good and was patient while I did my work. We did so much stuff this weekend that I'll let the pictures do most of the talking.
 
We can start with yesterday and work our way back. It was Chachee day! (As she lovingly refers to herself!) We went to Target where she took every children's book off the shelf, looked at one page, and tossed it on the floor (A favorite past time of hers) We then went to a bounce place that she loves to burn off some energy.
 
While there, a big boy who was maybe 6ish pushed her down. He put both arms out and shoved her. Needless to say she cried and I nearly lost my mom-cool. How do you deal with that? I gave his mom a glarring look... and the little boy one too!
After that Charleigh didn't feel like bouncing much more so I asked her if she wanted a grilled cheese, in which she replied by running to the exit. Ha!
 She couldn't get the grilled cheese in fast enough.
 She gave me a dirty look for taking her picture. Perhaps she saw me give my dirty look to the little boy who pushed her.
I then spoiled her completely by getting an ice cream! (No, I didn't let her eat all of that... that is the smallest dish they had)
Her day was made.
 She took a long nap and then we walked to the park and looked for bugs, which is also a new favorite past time.
 
Let's rewind way back now and talk about Easter some more. Remember Easter 2012? She was only 3 months old and we took this picture.
 It's now turned into a tradition. Here she is last year at 1 year and 3 months.
 And here is this year's picture. 2 years and 3 months. What a joy she is!
 We dyed Easter eggs on Saturday and Mema (my mom) sent Charleigh a Cinderella Easter Egg Bedazzling Kit! Who knew they made such a thing? Charleigh loved putting sequins and glitter on her eggs. She also loved sticking her hands in the cups of dye and dying her hands. Go figure.
 
 Also on Saturday we went to a local park/farm for their annual Easter egg hunt. We had never been before, but they truly did a wonderful event. They seperated each hunt by age group so that no older children trampled the little ones. Good plan.
 Her best friend Nico came as well. Charleigh and Nico have quite the love affair going on. They love each other and there is nothing anyone can say. Early Satruday morning, prior to this egg hunt, they had swim lessons together and then went to get bagels. Greg and I have become friends with Nico's parents. They are great people. As we were leaving the bagel place we told Charleigh and Nico to say goodbye and that they would see each other in an hour at the Easter egg hunt... what happened next was epic. If only it had been caught on camera -
 
Nico and Charleigh leaned in and kissed one another... on the lips! HAHAHAAHAHA! Myself and Nico's mom both gasped and thank goodness Greg didn't see. He doesn't know how to deal with this. Poor guy. He thought he would have at least eighteen years before worrying about boys.
 
 Here are the two together. We've been told by daycare they always play together each day.
 
 Eating candy that they found on the hunt.
 Dying eggs together.
 
Float on...
