Easter egg hunt!

  

As usual, it's been a busy couple of weeks around the Vargas house. I'll try to recap all the pics in this post. A couple of weekends back the neighborhood had an Easter egg hunt. The third pic is the girls posing in their Easter dresses. Caitlin was adamant about making a "scary face" so the pic you see is the best one I could get. The girls had fun but neither of them wanted anything to do with the Easter Bunny. I managed to get a pic with Emma but Caitlin wouldn't go near it. Watching the Easter egg hunt was like watching vultures descend on a dead coyote. There were a few times that I thought some of the parents might trample the children to make sure their kids got their eggs. There were a few nice people there though and a couple of them even gave Caitlin and Emma some of their eggs that they had gotten. Caitlin managed to get a few on her own as well which she shared with Brooke and Emma. Luckily the Easter Bunny also came to the park near our house and left eggs for the girls there as well. They had a lot of fun finding them all there as well. It's a lot of fun watching the sense of wonder in the girls. :-)

We also went on a field trip to the zoo with Caitlin's class. We took Emma with us as well and they had a lot of fun. I think both girls enjoyed watching the monkeys the most.

I've included a picture of Caitlin's writing. She's doing really good and we're very impressed with her progress. I can't believe that in about 3 weeks we have to go to register her for Kindergarten! She's told me that she doesn't want to go to the big school and that she's happy where she is. Hopefully she'll warm up to the idea soon.

I've also included pics of the girl's "Easter" trees. After this, I'm not sure what holiday to decorate them for. The 4th of July is still pretty far off so I'll have come up with something. Caitlin's also moved up to the big girl swing as you can see. She hasn't learned how to swing on her own yet but she's enjoying the new swing she's using. Other than that, things have been busy. Progress on Caitlin's bed has stalled for now. I just haven't had the time to finish the sanding. Hopefully I'll be able to get it done in the next couple of weeks.
