The Saturday before Easter was bright and sunny, and Dave’s building had an open house with an Easter egg hunt for the kids in the center courtyard. By this time Eva had a pretty good idea of what to do, and filled her basket like an expert. She knew exactly what was in those plastic eggs, because I heard her saying, “Yay, chocwate!” every time she picked one up. Truly her chocoholic mother’s daughter! LOL! Some of the residents have a view of the courtyard from their apartments, and they really enjoyed the spectacle, waving from their windows at the kids running around.
Later we went to Home Depot for a little research for our home improvement budget, and found four of the cabinets that we wanted on discount. Three were damaged (nothing Dave can’t repair), and one was open-box. All together they would have cost almost $800, but we loaded them into Dave’s truck for under $400. We just storing them until we can buy the last base cabinet and countertop, and then we’ll have half our kitchen already! I think Dave is more motivated now, since Rebel found an old cat stain under the sink and decided to mark it for himself. Dave tried to clean it with Pine Sol, but it still stinks. We can’t wait to get rid of those disgusting, cramped cabinets!
Easter Sunday was cold and rainy as predicted, so we hid eggs for Eva around the house instead of the backyard. Three Easter egg hunts in as many days! She got Dora stickers and tattoos, which were a big hit, and both the girls got adorable little bunny ears. We opened cards from the Grandparents, and enjoyed waffles for breakfast. Dave’s idea of relaxing on his day off (even a holiday) is to tackle a project, so he hung more pictures and wall sconces, and stained the carpet trim to put in the doorways. We finally got our portraits back, and they’re so cute!
