G and I had a wonderful Good Friday off this week. We were successful in getting his hair cut, renewing my driver's license, and even shopping a little bit in the morning. After we got back from running errands, I was able to take a little snooze while he played with trucks in the living room. I haven't napped in a while and it was GREAT!
After G went down for a nap in the afternoon, I was super productive and plowed through a bunch of stuff that I needed to get done. I even had time to boil eggs so we could dye them that night! I found a fun metallic egg dying kit, so the eggs were different than anything than we had done before. The kids went wacky with their decorations, Scott added a face to one of his and the word "BEER" to another one (no surprise there...he won 3rd place in my workplace pumpkin carving contest a few years ago with that same theme for a pumpkin!) I kept mine nice and simple and just painted them solid metallic to match the dye. So, we have a nice variety of decorated eggs!
Saturday was another busy day...Scott worked in the morning, so I was with the kids all morning, and then I headed out to a local craft show with my mom. I found some GREAT gifts for the kids and even bought myself a new shirt! As soon as I got home, we packed up the truck and headed out of town to celebrate a friend's 40th birthday. Since they live over an hour away, we decided it was best to spend the night so we could enjoy our time there. It was great to catch up with our friends and all of the kids had a blast playing together. Poor G was a little sad there weren't any little boys there to play with him, so he threw in the towel and went to bed early. He's probably the only one who isn't tired today!
And that's a good thing since it's Easter, and the kids had an Easter Egg hunt at the house when we got home! The Easter Bunny visited the house while we were gone and left baskets, goodies, and eggs for them. Even Scott and I got a little treat from the big bunny, which is always appreciated!
G also got a new game (much belated birthday gift) so he's had a blast today playing with all of his toys. I forgot to pack his Kindle for the overnight trip, and he was totally fine with it. He hasn't turned it on since Friday (I think?) and I love seeing him use his imagination to play, instead of just looking at a screen!
Happy Easter to you and your family! It is, indeed, a very special day!

Just missing the "B" and the "R"...
Interesting expressions...G is laughing hysterically, and Ava looks pained by it...
