Easter Weekend

Friday morning we all got up. Got dressed and went to the dentist. Nothing like replacing a cap and getting a good cleaning just before Easter. The kids did great and we went to McDonalds afterwards for breakfast.

Friday afternoon/Evening was the birthday party. I think that deserves it's own post so I will save the details. Just know that my Brother in law and my sister in law and her baby all came over after the party and didn't leave until almost 10. So it was a late night.

Saturday morning early ALlen went to the store to buy stuff to make breakfast tacos for the work crews at church. We made them and I took them up and decided to stay and work. All was good. Until I had to use the restroom. Well we still don't have our plumbing in place yet so we have a porta potty out at the new building. So I went to use it. Very careful not to let my tussy touch the seat I did let my legs touch the edge so not to fall and as I did this I felt something burn me. I stand up and there is a smooshed wasp. I was bit by a wasp while going potty. I took some of the kids benydryl and went on working. Finally I was tired and filthy and went home to shower.

We had some running around to do. Grocery Shopping. Going to Target to spend Birthday gift cards. Nothing spectacular. Well Christina and I run over to mom's house for a little bit to get her Easter dress. It was a dress I wore when I was a little girl and my mom had saved it. While there my brother shows up and asks what Allen is doing. I told him that he was home with Isaiah and so he called him. I get home and Allen said that he was going to go help my brother DJ a wedding at the last minute. These people's DJ just didn't show up. How heart breaking. They get there get set up and of course the computer won't work so their music selection is pretty limited but they are making it work and apologizing because normally they have time to customize the music to the event. THe couple did not care they were just glad there was music and family members were bringing up CD's so they could play them. Allen got home at one a.m.

While he was gone I got the kids down to bed and filled all the eggs for the Easter Bunny and when I was pretty sure the kids were asleep I helped the Easter Bunny hide a few eggs. Well about that time son walks out and says he needs to go potty. So I tell him to go potty and go back to bed.

Next morning he said he saw me putting an egg on a cup. I told him he must have been dreaming (the cat knocked that egg over anyway so there was no egg on a cup). Later when getting him dressed again he said he saw me with an egg. I said if he saw me with an egg it was only to fix it because it fell. He accepted this answer. He is only six I want the easter bunny to last longer.

After the kids work up they hunted Easter Eggs inside (it was too dark ourside and too many critters). Had breakfast and got ready for church. Church was good. And after church we went to my parents. Well they got candy for their birthday from my grandmother and candy from my mom for Easter. So they wanted to eat it. They already had candy that morning and cupcakes at church because it had just been their birthday. Well I said sure its Easter and let them eat it. They had that and cookies later and full sugar Kool-Aid and a nuber of other items filled with sugar. At one point my daughter was talking so fast, high, and silly that I thought she might be speaking in toungs. We kept them up late that night and let them sleep in Monday.

Oh and while at my moms house after the easter egg hunt outside. My brother (13 years old) and Isaiah started throwing the empty plastic eggs at each other. Before you know it everyone is tossing the plastic eggs at each other. It was crazy. It was like a snow ball fight with plastic easter eggs. Isaiah was so red faced and tired but he had so much fun because he kept nailing my brother right on the head with those suckers. The kid has a great arm and great aim. Maybe I should look into T-Ball.
