happy easter!

Well, today was the dreaded Easter Egg Hunt that I helped to organize on our block. I am happy to report that it turned out well! The older kids had a blast, the middle kids collected zillions of eggs, and the babies had fun gathering a few for their baskets as well. More importantly, the neighborhood showed up, drank coffee, watched the kids play, and generally had a good time. I am glad I was a part of it.

Afterwards we visited family. I enjoy visiting family, but it sure can get tiring. That, and I don't eat too well. By around 3:00 pm, I felt so gross from eating nothing but junk all day that I just wanted to lie down and be done with it all. Not gonna happen. I did feel better after eating some real food at Easter Dinner, but it is currently 11:30 pm, and I still feel a bit icky. Not too much longer until bedtime.

But, it was a good day. The Babe wore an old Easter dress of mine, and she looked adorable. Not only that, but I think she enjoyed the idea of her wearing my old dress as much as I did! There's something sweet about that. The Boy looked quite dapper in an argyle sweater vest of pale greens and blues, with matching socks and tan pants. Ahhhh... the joys of parenthood. I think I spent most of my day hoping that my kids weren't sneaking too much candy and feeling ill. I think it turned out well. I had two very tired little children at bed time, hopefully they sleep well.

Happy Easter everyone!
