Egg hunt, Vera sale & Bouncing birthday party...

We left town on Thursday after work heading north to the Fort. Laura and I wanted to hit up the annual Vera Br.adley outlet sale. Didn't take pictures this year; however, the crowds were more tame and the inventory was larger & deeper than last year. Got a lot of my xmas shopping done and we had a great time shopping.

After dinner out the grandparents hosted a little Easter egg hunt around the house for the girls (even though we'll be back next weekend they wanted a special hunt just for them - so sweet!).
 The girls were checking out their loot; Izzy would open the plastic eggs, dump the candy in her bucket, then place the empty egg into Laney's bucket. It was hilarious to watch unfold. Laney had no idea she was being robbed of her candy.
 Saturday morning we packed up early to head back to Indy for this:
 And we originally were going to go to Oscar's birthday party on Saturday; however, they delayed the party until Sunday due to cold and wet weather. Mike and I spent the entire afternoon and evening in the basement cleaning it out (the storage side). We made 3 piles: keep, toss, garage sale. My neighbor and I are looking to have a garage sale in the upcoming month or two and mama's ready to unload a LOT of kid toys and office supplies (both Mike and I used to work out of our house, so you can only imagine the fax machines, binder clips, et al we have waiting to get rid of). Feels GOOD to be so organized!

The girls couldn't wait to wake up this morning and go to Oscar's 5th birthday party. They did lots of this:

 And a little of this:

And when Izzy told Megan goodbye, she told her "This was the best day ever!" Every host should hear those words at the end of a party. And it was true, we all had a great time. We got to catch up with old friends, meet new ones, eat delicious food and bounce until it was naptime. Was a nice, long weekend. Now, back to the grind :)
