Friday afternoon we went to the McKinney Town Square, which was just precious. I felt a little bit at home because 1. we walked and 2. there were cafes and quaint little shops to go in! We found a little place called Mom and PopCORN, it was awesome. I think Marc bought 2 pounds of salt water taffy and he found a Dublin Dr. Pepper so he was happy. Bailey got grape flavored popcorn and Cerys got Cornfetti (cute name!) and I got watermelon. I don't even really like popcorn, but dipped in candy it's pretty darn good. I even ran into my former boss- I babysat her kids and worked for her in her Ebby Halliday office while I was in high school. If you have a trillion dollars and are looking for a home in the area, she's your girl. Ha.

Saturday we had the cousins over for a little Easter Egg Hunt fun. We dyed eggs- which for me and my OCD's issues, this kind of stressed me out. But they had fun!
Today after church we went a good-bye party for some friends of ours who are moving to Alaska! What they didn't know was that there was a city wide Easter Egg Hunt at the same park at the same time! We pulled up and saw pony rides and the Easter Bunny and I was thinking this is SOME kind of going away party! The girls had a blast playing and running around and waving at the E.B. (Easter Bunny) As we were getting ready to leave, Cerys was going over to say something to the E.B. and he did not hear her. He was apparently leaving the party and as she was chasing after him he walked through some bushes, took his head off and got in his car to drive away.
She found this very amusing and went to tell her Daddy all about how the E.B. is just a man in there!

Oh I can relate to the 'issues' of dyeing eggs. We'll be with my two nephews this year so I will probably sit on the deck and enjoy the view and leave the hubs and daughters to manage. My oldest is super particular but my youngest loves a good mess....her art teacher in highschool once said to her, "Wow, I'd love to see you cook because I've never had a student who threw themselves into the project quite like you." The mess. Oh my.
Happy Easter!
Where in AK are your friends moving to? Wonder if they're moving anywhere near where I'm from...
I applaud your efforts to dye eggs!! I've been a mom for 7 years and I have NEVER dyed eggs. Not a single time. I bought all the stuff last year (and still have it) but just can't bring myself to partake in the chaos I know will happen. Does that make me a bad mom? Guess my kids can add it to their list for therapy - right under "my mom hated making sugar cookies with us." :)
