Easter Egg Hunt!!!

Yesterday we had to go to Boise, which like I said, is about 45 minutes from the base. The drive is usually really boring, but it was fun listening to Nicholas. He's about to turn 3 years old and it's like he just discovered things and looking out the car window. He was sooooooo excited just looking at the snow covered mountains, the horses, the farms and even the cars on the road. He made it interesting for us LOL

Anyway, we decided to go a bit earlier. Our appointment to get Jasmine's computer wasn't until 1pm but we got to Boise just after 10am. The reason is that yesterday I had gotten an email from Toys R Us mentioning that there would be an Easter Egg Hunt at the store. Usually Curt's squadron does one for the kids but they haven't for the past 3 years so we thought this would be nice for the kids.

We get there and they each get a map with clues etc. They have to read the clues and then go around the store and find the stickers.

Jasmine and I took off looking for the clues, I was collecting for Nicholas because he decided he just wanted to sit in the shopping cart and didn't want to walk around. Fine by me LOL
As soon as they collected all the stickers, they went back to the front counter and each got a "Easter Goodie Bag". It came filled with candy, a glitter pen, a coloring book, a comic book etc. Pretty neat and the kids were all happy!!!
Then we see the Easter Bunny........Jasmine is thrilled and goes right up to say hi and get a picture taken with him.

Nicholas about bursts into tears and is terrified of the Easter Bunny LOL

We couldn't get him near him, he didn't want candy from his basket and he certainly didn't want pictures taken. We couldn't even get Nicholas to participate in the Egg Hunt, he kept looking over his shoulder making sure the BUNNY wasn't out to get him LOL

So we let Jasmine do the egg hunt, I swear that girl is like a dog sniffing out sausage....she zipped through the store and made out like a bandit with so many eggs.

After the hunt was finished there were still some eggs laying around so we finally convinced Nicholas to get some.

Apart from Nicholas not wanting to participate much, which is understandable for his age, they both had a really good time, and so did we. We bought Nicholas some of his birthday presents there too, and come on, who doesn't have a good time walking around a Toys R Us store???? It's like a trip back in time to your own childhood!!!

Afterwards we went by Carl's Jr for some lunch. I swear that place has the best burgers, and talk about huge. I had the Portabello Mushroom Burger which was HUGE and enough to feed all 4 of us LOL

By the time we made it to the Boise Outlet Mall we were JUST in time for her class to begin.
Curt took Jasmine and I took Nicholas to walk around the stores. They were actually done pretty fast so we ended up going to the KB Toys Liquidators store and got Nicholas some more birthday presents. So he's officially bought for LOL

Except for one thing, he desperately wants a Spiderman Scooter, so I'm probably getting him one at Walmart.

So there ya have it, that was our saturday. Now today we're on the lookout for a computer desk for Jasmine's New School Computer. It came with 2nd Grade and 3rd Grade reading programs which is perfect for her cause she's reading at a 3rd grade and 4 months level. It won't be a game computer, it's strictly for homework and school so it's going in her bedroom. Hopefully we can find a computer desk around here.

Well I have cleaning to do and I have to run to the commissary for milk and some items to make Nicholas' birthday cake. I usually bake their cakes so they get to pick out the theme and then I go online and research etc.
Jasmine is getting an Ice Cream Cake this year for her party, and for Nicholas I'm baking this one:

Wow this post is long....I'm actually tired of writing LOL
Hope you guys have a great sunday, I have tons to do so I'm outta here......see ya all tomorrow morning, bright and early. :)
