Happy Easter

Easter Tidings to you!

Our week can be summed up in about two words: Holy Week. Or in our house, Hectic Week.

If that doesn’t suffice, how about a short list?
Monday night: Sarah Weight Watchers meeting (I lost another 1.2 pounds!)
Tuesday night: Sarah EMS meeting
Wednesday night: Confirmation class - Sarah Fire dept. meeting.
Thursday night: Maundy Thursday service.
Friday night: Good Friday service
Saturday: It snowed three inches. My children cried all morning.
Sunday: Breakfast at 0700, Service at 0900, Dinner with the Halls at 1:00p

A few highlights:

Thursday afternoon, a bunch of little girls came over to dye Easter eggs. That was an hour of fun and excitement. What egg dying day would be complete without stained carpet and broken eggs, though?

Eden is sick again. Has had a fever on and off for about 3 days. When the fever was gone, the coughing fits started and a runny nose followed. Daddy and baby finished up their antibiotics on Thursday. Eden started new antibiotics on Friday. Mommy has a self-diagnosed ear infection and is taking old antibiotics from the last time she had an ear infection. It is helping.

Lars cried most of the week. Four continuous hours on Wednesday, until he finally gave up and fell asleep. Thursday morning, he had a tooth! Thursday afternoon, he again cried until supper time when he fell asleep. Friday morning, he woke up with a second tooth! A full six months before Eden had teeth. I need consistency, people!

On Saturday, the community wide Easter egg hunt that the fire department puts on was cancelled due to the 3” on snow that had fallen overnight. I missed the memo and showed up anyway. It was good to get out of the house for a few minutes.

Sunday started our early, with Easter Breakfast beginning at 0730. Worship was at it’s regular 0900 slot. I had put a ham in the oven before we left for church, so we came home to change clothes, photograph the kids for Easter and then take off. It was 60 degrees this afternoon, so everybody got to play outside a bit. I played with our new camera at the Hall’s.

Mommy, Daddy and Eden all have nasty coughs. Since Daddy has the cough medicine with Codine, Mommy has to refrain from taking any medicine at night or else nobody would hear Lars. I keep thinking Al’ll get better so that I can have a shot of it, but alas, no such luck.

That’s all for this week.

Eden attempted to climb into Lars' crib, but got stuck.

Can you hear her yelling, "MOMMY I STUCK!!"
