We had a great Easter…busy but great!

We got the boys up and all dressed in their new shirts and ties, headed off to church. It was a tough service because Trey wanted nothing to do with it and we battled the whole time, missing out on the sermon and just trying to pacify him. The time with children in the service was hilarious…all the kids totally missed the point of it and kept chattering on and on about chocolate and candy, it had everyone laughing so hard they were crying.

After church we met up with Margaret, Peggy and Olivia for coffee at “the Pullapart House”. The weather was gorgeous and it was nice to sit outside and chat with them. We had an hour before we could go to my parents house, since they were making up John Wayne Eggs and they needed to cook. We went home and changed the boys and headed over. They were so happy to see that the Easter Bunny had visited Nana and Papa’s house, too (thanks for hiding all the eggs Nathan!) We ate, did the egg hunt and let the boys play for awhile while Dee finished building the arbor at my parents place that she’s been working on.

Anyhow, we wore out our welcome at my folks…Trey was seriously losing it….and put the boys in the car. They were asleep in less than 1/2 mile! Busy, busy weekend for them.

Monday night we went to Holly’s for dinner. What a treat! We hung out while the boys played. The boys were so jazzed to walk in somewhere and see huge cool train tracks all set up that they didn’t even want to stop and eat pizza. Carlos loves Holly’s song, One More Time, and insists we play it over and over again in the car (I don’t mind, I love that song too!) so I asked her if she would play for him. We brought along the boy’s new guitar, Holly tuned it and Carlos was strumming away when Holly pulled out her guitar and started playing “One More Time”. Carlos played along but was mesmerized when she started singing and he realized that she was the lady on the cd. He’s been talking about Holly nonstop ever since. Anyhow, it was a great evening and we really enjoyed getting out, we really like Holly and her family and her kids totally rock!

Today we hung out at the Kids Museum for a little while, Carlos did a ton of artwork and Trey played with the golf ball physics display. Nevaeh went on a visit so she was gone for a little bit, Levi and Alice had school so all was back to normal.

No school tomorrow and it’s just me and the boys and Dee’s working late so I pulled out the boy’s mattresses and we are having a sleepover in the living room. Watching movies, eating popcorn and sleeping in the living room, should be fun!
