Dad came and got the kids on Wednesday morning for an extended Easter visit. So, J and I were on our own from Wednesday - Saturday morning. I'm not gonna lie - that was NICE! I slept late, enjoyed some peace and quiet, watched waaayyy too much TV, and even got in a shopping trip to a nearby outlet mall. I learned several things from this experience...#1 - if it weren't for my kids, I'd probably be a totally unmotivated slob :) and #2 - shopping without kids in tow is B-A-D for the budget. Here I was thinking that I had grown out of my frivolous spending ways...when in reality I was just too distracted and bumfuzzeled by my kids to successfully make purchasing decisions :) At any rate, I enjoyed my time sans kiddos, but was very ready to see their smiling, spoiled rotten (by the grandparents) faces on Saturday morning!
We arrived at my Mom's house just in time to take the kids to her church's Annual Easter Egg Hunt. Now my kids are the ones who struggle to find their shoes in their closet, so while they enjoy Easter Egg Hunts...they definitely aren't going to be walking away with any prizes :)

Saturday night, we ate at our absolute FAVORITE BBQ restaurant with J's mom and my family. Good times!
What was not good times was the fever that G developed Saturday evening. Though you would have never guessed it to look at her (she was acting like she felt fine), her fever was between 101.5 - 102.5 from Saturday evening - Sunday afternoon. Needless to say, we didn't take her to church on Sunday morning. Consequently, there are no super cute pre-church family pictures to share. Lucky for us, the true meaning and joy of Easter has nothing to do with how pretty we all would have been in our Easter-finest :) Thankful today for our Risen Savior and a fully recovered, healthy family!
