We went to "family night out" with the Cary Mom's club last night. Not sure we'll be doing that again. It's hard enough to enjoy dinner out with your own kids but it is nearly impossible with ten other families and theirs. We actually enjoyed ourselves but I couldn't believe anyone else stayed to eat there once they saw our crew come in. The kids outnumbered the adults by far, we are the only ones with just one child. Drew was great the entire evening and even gnawed on celery from George's chicken wing basket while he waited for his meal. He really liked the celery - that's my boy!

We are taking Drew to the Cary Easter egg hunt tomorrow and going to another one at a friends' house Sunday. My Mom had the brilliant idea of getting some plastic eggs beforehand so Drew could get used to the idea. We had the most fun with that! Drew loved the eggs from the second I put them in the grocery cart. He held them all the way home and when I opened the package on the kitchen floor he just about lost it! He went wild for those silly eggs! I'm not sure what he'll do when there is stuff actually in them! The most fun was when George came out of his office for lunch and saw what we were up to. He started hiding the eggs (more like laying them in the center of the room) and getting Drew to find them. It was hysterical! I'm not sure what was funnier, George's hiding spots or watching Drew find the eggs. We were able to teach Drew to the put the eggs in his cute Elmo Easter basket from CC and Day Day and carry the basket around. I jumped for joy when he put two eggs in the basket and then picked it up! It was one of the cutest things I've seen him do. Then he started taking the eggs back out and putting them in and taking them out and putting them in. Oh well, at least he gets most of what is supposed to happen. I can't wait for the real hunt tomorrow!
