We had a wonderful Easter. Tabitha was super excited to find the carrot on top of her bed slide and it contained five Disney Dollars and 4 bouncy balls. Off she ran to the living room to go through her basket. She was positively thrilled with everything inside. Next was the egg hunt, 45 eggs in all. Every one of them had something inside. Her favorite items being cash, Disney Dollars, bouncy balls and Disney SweeTarts. The Bunny miscalculated and brought way too much candy, unfortunately.
After the festivities we got ready to go and headed to the Spring Fling at the LA Zoo. We got everything done first off and then enjoyed looking at some of the animals before heading home and then out again. This time we went to my in-laws' and had Easter dinner. There was also an egg hunt for Tabitha and another child who is 4. The two of them have a blast together and really got into the egg hunt. Daisy spent most of the time snoozing and being passed from person to person. She received tons of clothes as Easter gifts.
Yesterday we braved the Spring Break crowds and went character hunting at Disneyland. We were successful and found two new characters as well as a previously visited character in a different outfit. I update the Disney Character page last night. We also got another ride in on Buzz Lightyear, it is is just as cool the second time around :) Once home and after dinner, Tabitha dressed as Esmeralda and put on a nice gypsy dance complete with song and Chris keeping the beat on a drum per her instructions. It was actually rather impressive.
Today was a good mail day as we received our latest book club shipment. Books 7 and 8 in the Unfortunate Events series for Tabitha and four black and white books for Daisy to look at during floor time.

Hi Z,
I'm impressed that Tabitha is reading the "Unfort Ev" series. Kristin (9) read the first one and claimed they were both sad and scary. She is a wimp, though...afraid of Harry Potter books as well and is currently reading a series called "Island" something or other and will not read it before bedtime as it is too scary! Anyway, I subbed in 3rd grade a couple weeks ago and a couple kids were reading that series as well. Actually, I saw kids with that series the last times I subbed in 5th and 6th grade as well, so way to go! Her reading must really be coming along! Jackie is just starting to read in kindergarten this semester and he is loving it! I love all the pictures of Daisy you are posting. She is adorable. Take care,
Jill
