So I'm seeing now that writing everyday may turn out to be somewhat of a pipe dream. We were gone out of town over the weekend to celebrate Easter with Chris' side of the family. Yesterday morning we got up (not as early as we were planning) and drove to New Holstein. We celebrated Easter a day early with dinner, an egg hunt and kids' games all prepared by his mom. The kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves as did we. My husband (as well as his brothers) were feeling extra nice---not sure what got into them---and let us girls, me and my sister-in-laws, away from the kids for part of the afternoon. At first we were hesitant to leave, but then after going we decided we were crazy for ever second guessing ourselves. The original plan was to head to the scrapbooking store (shocking, I know), but when we discovered it was long closed and now was a nasty place that looked like a garage sale gone bad that could house bums off the street, we had to look for a new location for our freedom. We ended up going to get a drink and had a great time chatting for a couple hours without the constant interruption of little people needing things.
We came back to Madison today. For Easter instead of baskets and eggs, because they had already done that twice (Grammys and daycare), I hid presents. I bought each of them a fishing pole, knowing full well they were going to be instantly attached to them. It was even more so than I expected. They sat on the deck all afternoon and into the evening casting their new fishing poles out into the yard. "Big Chris" came over and even he left after only 30 minutes because he was so bored with them only playing their poles. I love when I get them gifts they can't play enough with. Now the trick is taking them real fishing in the summertime. Chris said I'm the one who has to put the worms on and take the fish off because he refuses. Hmmm...not sure how that's going to work, but we'll figure it out.
I hope everyone had a blessed Easter and is ready for the week ahead!
