Mia and Quinn had a great Easter.  Nana and Keith came down to see them, so they were excited.  Mia waited and waited for them all day Saturday saying (over and over), "Where's Nana?  I want my Nana."  She had a ball while they were here.  Quinn loved it too and babbled and giggled lots.  They both got new Easter baskets with their names on them.  Mia enjoyed looking at all of her Easter goodies.  Wesley let me sleep in a little, but Mia wanted to show me some of her stuff that morning.  She came in our room and woke me up so that I could see her in her full pink and purple superhero regalia.

We have been needing to treat the yard for ants this spring.  I've told Mia to stay away from them, but she's fascinated by bugs.  Apparently, she poked an ant hill with a stick on Sunday morning.  By the time I got outside, she was like a wild animal hollering and flailing around while Carol Ann and Keith tried to wash her feet off.  With the way she was carrying on, I was worried that she had been bitten several times.  After cleaning her up, I could only locate one bite on her elbow and one on her foot.

We went to the park so that Mia could hunt for Easter eggs.  She loved looking for them (and hiding them for Nana to find).  However, she was very skittish every time she saw any ants.  A lone ant would walk by on the sidewalk, and she'd jump back three feet exclaiming, "An ant! An ant!" like it was going to attack her.  I told her that if she would leave them alone, they wouldn't bother her.  She settled down a bit and enjoyed hunting for eggs.  At least, she was fine until she stepped on another ant hill, and they came swarming out in full force.  She screamed so much that it sounded like she'd lost her mind.  She did not get bitten that time, though.  Poor girl.  She was a little traumatized.  She pulled herself together, though, and played on the playground a bit before we left.

While she was looking for eggs, I had to sit on a bench to nurse Quinn.  I try to be discreet when nursing in public, but there's one obstacle.  Quinn hates being under the nursing cover.  HATES IT.  He'll fight with it the whole time trying to move it so that he can see.  I probably look like I'm wrestling with him as he nurses.  Haha!  Silly baby.  Wesley tried to help me stay (mostly) covered since I was struggling. ;)
