Peeps


Happy Easter everyone. Well, the holidays keep sneaking up on us and Easter was no exception. Last Friday I got into some spring cleaning and still have more to do. But while I was cleaning the only bunnies I knew were visiting were the dust bunnies. And they don't leave fun treats.

We did manage to get in some festivities with Caden over the weekend. We colored some eggs and ruined a shirt (it was worth it). We hid some eggs around the house and busted out the biggest basket we had for some treats. Caden's treat of choice were the coconut covered marshmallows we picked up in Target. Unfortunately for him, only mommy and daddy get the chocolate.

Enjoy the magic of Easter...Cado style.

New Favorite Movie

David and I got a baby-less date DAY. It was awesome. This past Sunday after church we dropped Caden at a friend's house and took off.
We started it just like a lot of other dates, with Mexican food. It's always fast, good and we always crave it.
Then we hit up a couple outlet stores in Kittery to spend a gift card. We walked around Portsmouth, NH, as long as we could stand the cold, windy day. Then headed to the movie theater. We decided Juno is the only movie we really felt the need to see. And I'm so glad we did.
We both came to the conclusion that it's easily one of our favorites. I cried several times and David even teared up. It was just so good and thought-provoking. It made me think about how blessed I am to have the life I have, my husband and baby. Besides it had so many great lines, that I can't wait to quote (once I see it again). Anyway, go see it!!

Date night with a baby

David and I love our kiddo so much that we consider going out to eat with him a date. It is pretty neat but we haven't been out as a couple in...months or more because I can't remember.

There's probably one good reason not to bring Caden on a date and that is the waiting time at restaurants. You can only stall a one year old so long. Plus, when you're dealing with the Cheesecake Factory you have to wait "55-70 minutes" Yeah this is a quote from the hostess. "So there's an hour wait" I said. "Um, 55-70 minutes", she replied back. Um, ok so we've got an hour to spare. whatever!!

I held onto our pager and David and Caden took off for the mall. I was so bored people watching and usually that doesn't happen, maybe it was just boring people. My guys came back and David tells me he didn't have to find anything for Caden to do because he was content following the line along the entire length of the mall floor.

We ate, we laughed and we enjoyed Lemon Raspberry Cheesecake (not my favorite, I should know better than to deviate from chocolate) at home while watching "Wayne's World". Happy Date night to us!!
