Easter Egg Hunt, knit class and the movie theatre...

Kylee, James and Wyatt went to the Easter Egg Hunt at the base Youth Center this past Saturday. I was unable to go because I had my knitting class to attend. So, James ventured off with both kids for the first time. He did pretty well on his own. Kylee had a blast hunting the eggs. Once again, she knew exactly what to do. Each kid received a little goody bag filled with some candy and a blow up ball. Kylee also played the cookie walk. She got to pick the lucky number several times. She eventually won a cookie as well. Kylee and Wyatt both met with the Easter Bunny. Kylee also got her face painted with flowers. A lady from the base newspaper took a picture and will put Kylee's picture in the base paper this Friday.

Like I said earlier, I had my knitting class on Saturday as well. I really enjoy going and chatting with the other ladies, as well as knitting. I finished my first hat, but its a bit small for me, but too big for Kylee. Right now I'm working on a hat for Kylee. Its the same pattern as the last, so hopefully I hope mess it up this time. I have two more Saturday classes, then I would like to go to the knitting meetings they have every other Saturday. Its just a good opportunity for me to have a nice little break, talk to other people, make friends and knit. I'm sure James won't mind watching the kids.

Sunday, James had plans to take Kylee to see Dr. Seuss's Horton Hears a Who. They were going to go right after lunch, but every time they left the house, Kylee would cry and want me. Doesn't that sound sweet?? That she wanted to be with me? It really wasn't though. She threw a fit, dumped her snack in the car a bawled her eyes out. James and Kylee came home, both very upset about it. Eventually Kylee was better and wanted to go again. So they left..... and a few minutes later came back because Kylee did the same thing. It happened once more before we just decided to put her down for a nap. After nap time, she was in a really good mood and wanted to see a movie. Instead of me staying home, Wyatt and I tagged along. We went out to dinner at a small family restaurant in town, then headed to the mall. They were going to see the 7 pm showtime while Wyatt and I browsed some stores. I knew the mall was closed, but Target and the new Barnes and Nobles would be opened. So, Wyatt and I went to Target and window shopped for a while. Then we decided to head to the book store and kill some more time before we drove to Walmart. Right before we were going to head back to the car, I realized James still had the keys. No biggy though, I could spend some more time in the bookstore. By the time the show was about over, we were ready to walk back to the theatre. Unfortunately, they had the doors all locked into the mall. So, me and Wyatt had to walk ALL the way around the mall, to the movie theatre.... it was REALLY cold and REALLY windy! Poor Wyatt, I had to throw a blanket over his head so he wouldn't breath in the cold.... and I ran almost all the way around the mall.... with no jacket on. So, we finally make it there and Wyatt is ready to eat. I start feeding him on a bench right outside of the theatre (which is in the mall). I grab my new book and start reading. I felt just like my mom. I know my mom can pull a book out anywhere and read it. I guess when I feel just like my mom, that's when I really feel like a mom in general. Does that make any sense? The very first time I really felt like a mom was when I had to stop the car in a parking lot, turn around and yell at Kylee for something she was doing. I think I said something like, "do you want me to turn this car around and go home? Cause I will. Don't make me come back there!" I could see a pedestrian starring at me. I remember my mom saying the exact some thing to me. lol.
