It was a rainy day so we went to the mall to walk. I went at 9am totally forgetting the stores don't open until 10am. It was actually a really nice time to go to the mall. It was quiet, the kids could run around without getting into any thing. To my surprise, there were quite a few walkers that look like they come her frequently. I pushed the girls in their stroller a few laps around the inside mall perimeter and then we stopped to play on our mall's sad version of a kid's area which consists of 4 mini, overpriced rides you would see at Chuck E. Cheese. The girls seemed to have fun so that is all that mattered. They even saw the Easter Bunny and shook his or her hand.
When we got home, we took out some plastic easter eggs and had a pretend easter egg hunt. The girls like when I hide the eggs and they find them and put them in the basket. That was fun. I especially liked when Alexis hid the eggs in very obvious spots. For example, there would be 5 eggs laying in plain view on the couch. They are really getting into the spirit of easter. Dane has been praying each day with the girls. He taught Alexis how to pay on her knees in front of the crucifix. I find her occasionally praying spontaneously on her knees in front of the crucifix. Her prayers usually consist of our dinner prayer and then her saying thanks for her ponies and various other toys.
On that note, Alexis officially got into pre-k. She got her acceptance letter in the mail from St. Joseph's Catholic School here in Athens. She went to a pre-k screening at the school about a week ago. Donavan aka Isaac's dad is the principal. Whenever we go to church or school, Alexis is always asking where Isaac and his dad is. Unfortunately, Isaac is about a year may be 2 behind Alexis so they won't be in the same grade but maybe eventually they will go to the same school. We are so excited St. Joe's decided to start an accredited pre-k program this year.
