Easter 2013

Both Good Friday and the Monday after Easter are bank holidays in France, so all 4 of us have been home for 4 days. Last week Beckett had a fever for 4 days and Ava started to get it on Sunday. So, this was the perfect weekend to stay home and relax.

On Easter, we had brunch with a bunch of friends. I pity anyone in their apartment building when we all get together, because these kids are loud! But, for the most part, they all get along and all we hear is happy yelling. 

In the afternoon, we went to another friends farm in one of the villages for an Easter egg hunt. The kids had so much fun!

Beckett and Inez scootering in the courtyard. 

Easter baskets are very difficult to find here, so our kids use shopping bags!

It looks like he is taking from Inez's bag, but he was actually giving her one. 

Round 2 - making sure they didn't forget any.

Love these two!!

Today, Ava had a fever for most of the day. After dinner (and another dose of ibuprofen), she was feeling a bit better. She has been really wanting to learn to ride a two-wheeler, so she begged Ken to take her out. Her incentive is that as soon as she can ride the two-wheeler, she can ride her bike to school. She can actually list off the kids in her class that can ride a two-wheeler, so in 4 year old French school, it is a big deal. After about 5 minutes, she figured it out. I am also very happy as now I only have to haul 1 kid in the bike trailer instead of 2!
