Great weekend!

We had a very nice weekend here in New England. It was mid 50's most of the weekend. We got to go to the park, fly a kite and Brooke and I took our first bike ride together. It wasn't far but it was progress. Note - v. hard to stay on bike without training wheels when barely moving.

On Sat. morning we went to a Jimmy Fund pancake breakfast with the Easter Bunny! We were the first little kids to arrive so the bunny was in full "hop". The kids had their picture taken and got some candy and then we did arts & crafts for awhile.
We came home and Poppa John and Jan came to whisk the kids off to the park and kite flying. I got to go for a bike ride, install my shoe racks (3 more in addition to the 2 I already have. Need one more and then I'll be done - I know I have a problem but I'm telling you it looks fabulous. I'll get a pic for ya), do some laundy and clean up a little. What 2 hours can do for you - I tell you. Anyway, then I met up with the clan for lunch at Haddad's (which was REALLY good). Came back home and we played in the yard and had a fire.

Sunday I took the girls grocery shopping which is usually John's thing but I decided to give him a break since he's been working his butt off with the Bio-Cascade stuff. It was actually fun, I just let it roll and wasn't in a rush which, shockingly, made it much better than the usual, "hurry up, let's go, Brooke do this, Lexi stop that" mode. The rest of the day we just chilled out and relaxed.

Overall a good weekend.

This weekend is crazy! Fri - hotel in Boston for our mini-family vacation, Sat. aquarium, Sat. night Dad & Karen for dinner, Sunday Easter with Yia and the Vallier's. Always fun to have things to do though.

Here's one more gratuitous Lexi shot from school that I just got. What a character!
