First of all, no running water has a very long list of hazards. Not being able to shower being top on that list. Lucky for us, we happened to be dog sitting for a good friend who was away at a dog show. Her house just happened to be empty and she just happens to be wonderfully generous. After a quick email to her, we had access to a wonderful soaker tub with jets (rockets, as Pk loves to call them) and a shower. Needless to say, we all availed ourselves of the luxuries!
Secondly, we went to ride the local Easter bunny steam train. We did that with Pk when she was about 2 1/2 (the same age Lb is now) and she was TERRIFIED of the bunny. The pink hat she is wearing was bought for her by my dad on that outing. She was determined to show that she was no longer scared and she did a great job (although her eyes were like saucers when the bunny first arrived). She very proudly announced to me that "it wasn't a real bunny anyway, just a person dressed up." It was so much fun to do the train again and to see Lb jumping with glee and our lovely niece helping to make it a special day for everyone.
We went back to Dh's sister's house for dinner and had fun. I had flexed my "pinterest muscles" a bit and made jello eggs (which were surprisingly yummy and got lots of "oohs" and "aahs" and the meal was great. Pk adored getting to sit on her uncle's motorcycle.
Sadly, it was during dinner that the migrane hit. One bit of gratitude was that I didn't throw up on the way home!
Happy Easter!
