Hope you all had a great Easter Holiday! Ours was great but went by fast!
Eddie’s mom was here with me last week and it was so nice to have the help. We are caught up on laundry and dishes for the first time since….um, maybe ever.
We dyed eggs, I got to run a few errands, and we had a lot of fun. Now we’re back to the daily grind (Come back, Nana!) but my sister will be taking my older kids to see the Lorax movie this afternoon so I’m hoping to get some more stuff accomplished.
We just seem to get so busy this time of year. We spent all day Saturday cutting our grass at the new land and planting some baby trees from the Arbor Day Foundation, 2.4 acres sure takes a while to mow! Especially when everyone, including mommy, insists on having a turn on the new tractor.
We spend Easter doing a lot of running around. We were disappointed that we couldn’t make it to the Easter service at our church because we were traveling to see family, but we did an egg hunt with our Resurrection eggs and went over the story a few times. The kids were really into those eggs this year!
Then they got to have 2 more egg hunts later in the day. We also finally took a picture of the five of us together.
We stopped by my dad’s house, my mom’s house, and spent time with Eddie’s family at his Uncle’s. The weather was perfect and I hope the kids made some nice memories. I loved having the girls in matching dresses for the first time.
I might not be blogging much, but I hope I’ll remember to track our progress. We are in the permitting and financing stage of building the new house.
I’m back to work part-time.
I have a lot to do to prepare for tomorrow’s end of the year brunch for our Mom N Me group.
Nicholas is having all kinds of tests for his kindergarten placement this week and will be graduating out of play therapy in May. (Yay for his progress and our checkbook!)
The kids seem to be going on 8 million field trips for school.
My friend Lauren & I will be surprising Abby with a trip to the American Girl Store and possibly a Peter Rabbit Tea Party at the Ritz-Carton for her birthday! (Nicholas got to play a real round of golf with Daddy for his birthday)
We will also be planting our veggie garden this month.
Is spring a busy time for your family?
