Today Brooke had an Easter egg hunt after stroller strides. It was a cold and windy 45 degrees but the kids were good sports for the hunt. It took Brooke a minute to figure out that she was supposed to pick up the eggs and put them in the basket but soon she got the hang of it and ended up with about as many as we brought. There were so many eggs that each child ended up with two dozen+.
Brooke loves her drawing easel. Sometimes she likes to climb inside of it to hide. It’s getting harder and harder for her though and she keeps growing.
Today Brooke and I were playing when an ice cream truck pulled through the neighborhood at 7pm. Normally there is a pretty sketchy looking van with grocery bought snacks that drives through while the neighborhood children are at school and Brooke is asleep that I wouldn’t ever consider taking her out for. However, we saw that this truck was clean, beautifully painted, driven by a very nice lady, and it was real soft serve. Also we saw six neighborhood children sprinting at full speed towards the truck. Brooke was unaware to the excitement, but I picked her up and said ‘a real ice cream truck!’ I grabbed my wallet and we walked hand in hand to investigate. I bought Brooke a cone that she ate by herself and she seemed to really enjoy having fresh soft serve in her front yard.
I needed to replace my running glasses and while shopping and Brooke picked out this pair. Then later today opted for another pair of mine and her bunny ears.
Today Brooke grabbed my hat and this is how she put it on herself. It was too cute not to grab a picture.
