Happy Easter!

This was a busy busy weekend!!  Thursday night, Saiya spent the night with my sister because there was no school on Friday.  Friday night was Dan’s birthday, so we watched her kids.  Saturday we went to the paintball field and spent several hours shooting little balls of paint at each other.  Saiya and Syrafina were content to make “Paint Soup” with the stray paint balls that had fallen on the ground.  They spent hours poking at them with sticks and making a colorful, albeit smelly, mess.  Saturday afternoon, we went home, took showers, and then headed out to see African Cats for Earthday.  It was a great movie, but the younger kids got bored very quickly.  About an hour into the movie, Saiya was grumpy and wanted to leave.  Luckily she managed to sit through it to the end, but she was very happy it was over.

Saturday night my sister stopped by to pick up the kids.  They all went to her house to color eggs for Easter.  I can only assume Saiya had a great time before heading off to bed.  Sunday morning we went over to my sister’s house for an Easter egg hunt.  Saiya and the rest of the kids spent a couple of hours hunting jelly beans and Easter Eggs.  The Easter Bunny even left each of the kids a candy filled basket of goodies.  Saiya had a great time!  Sunday afternoon, we went home and had a nice relaxing afternoon.  Poor Saiya was so tired she was falling asleep at the dinner table.  Poor thing.  So after a quick bath it was off to bed for her.

Overall, we had a great weekend and thank you to my sister and the rest of my family for helping to make Saiya’s first Easter a great one!
