FEELS LIKE HOME: EASTER WEEKEND, PART ONE

I know, I know- I'm a little behind. Part busyness. Part laziness. Easter weekend started off with Matt, the kids and I, sleeping in Margate at Mom-mom and Pop-pop's house on Friday.....How's that for a run-on sentence? Anyway, the kids went to sleep fairly well Friday night. Thank you child-proof door handle things!!! Then, we woke up Saturday morning and Matt had to go to work. We decided to wait for Daddy to get done and they we could all drive home together since we all had to be back down on Sunday for Easter at Grandmom and Grandpop's.....An even bigger run-on sentence. So, while we waited for Daddy to get done, we dyed eggs with Mom-mom. Minus Nicky who was taking a nap. The kids had alot of fun. Somewhere during the egg dying process, Alex managed to mix some colors together and he then morphed into the blue-green alien with a spotted tummy!!! After we were all cleaned up, we moved onto the Easter egg rice krispie treats. Emily had more fun doing this than Alex. Mom-mom and I had all the krispie treats shaped into eggs and cooled. The kids were supposed to dip the tips into melted chocolate and then into sprinkles. Alex did one, but then decided it looked to good to put down. So he ate it. Me, Emily, and mom-mom finished. They looked really cute and they were really fun, easy, and tasty!!! So, after that was done, I had to go out and try to find Easter baskets......nothing like waiting til the last minute, but SOMEONE, I'm not mentioning names, threw last years out. I guess only tools and manly things are allowed in the shed! lol. While I was out looking for said Easter baskets, Mom-mom and Pop-pop walked all the kids to the playground. Then I got back and we were just waiting for Daddy. On the way home we stopped at Walmart to get some last minute things. Then we got home, I bathed the kids, put them to bed, then I had to put their Easter baskets together. Then, I cleaned up and Matt and I went to bed. Moving onto Sunday.......Emily woke up very early-she was so excited for the Easter bunny. 10 minutes later, she couldn't wait any longer so I had to wake the boys. They loved their baskets!!! Then after breakfast, Matt took the kids upstairs so I could hide the eggs outside. I hid 27 total I think. Alex and Emily found about the same amount. Nicky found one and spent the whole time trying to open it and get what was inside. Then around 12:30pm, we packed up and headed down to Margate. We took Daddy to his car and then he went to work. Then me and the kids headed to Grandmom's. We had alot of fun and it was nice to sit and relax with everyone. I really wish Matt could have been there, although I am grateful he got to spend Easter morning with the kids. Phew---that felt like a tremendous amount of information. Trying to make up for lost time I guess. Easter part two is just going to be some pictures of the kids in their Easter outfits. It was a crazy busy weekend, with ALOT of driving, but overall, it was very nice. I'm just happy I got to spend time with the 4 people I love most in this world. HAPPY BELATED EASTER EVERYONE.
