Happy Easter

Well another Easter has come and gone. This year all the kids were able to hunt eggs which was pretty cute. Our church had a great event that included a great puppet show, songs, loads of crafts (we now have a couple more decorated frisbees, sand art, necklaces and stained glass art projects to decorate with) and of course a huge egg hunt. Each of the boys (who I wasn't able to get pictures of) had more than 50 eggs and each found a prize egg which entitled them to something extra. Tristan chose another stuffed animal much to his Dad's delight as he is trying to get rid of them, and Jack chose a race car, big surprise. Savannah found her first egg and sat on the ground trying to open it for several minutes and when she got it open realized there was something shiny inside, candy!!! She got about ten eggs and all and had fun carrying her basket around. She didn't like the easter bunny though and wanted to stay far away. Jaesen and I were both feeling yucky that day but were bound and determined to finally go on our date night that had been continually postponed. He got us reservations at Ruth's Chris for that night and John and Jackie watched the kids. It was great, he had champagne waiting for when we arrived and we had a cozy little booth. I ordered the steak and lobster tail and I ate a total of 6 bites of food before the bottom fell out on me. I hurried to the bathroom where I was violently sick for 10 minutes. Jaesen paid (of course they had just uncorked our lovely bottle of wine which we couldn't drink), what a waste of a night! He got me home, put me in a hot bath and to bed with a 104 fever, it was awful. We didn't make our brunch the next day either which broke the boys hearts, but there was no way we could go anywhere. So it has been a wonderful weekend, I only hope next weekend is better, but then again, if you throw up in the bathroom at Ruth's Chris, I don't think there is anywhere to go but up. Easter morning was pretty funny. Savannah discovered jellybeans and horded them. We threatened to take them away and she said no. The dogs got plenty too so everyone was covered in the general sugar high. Jaesen meanwhile replanted our front flower beds and they look awesome, but it took all day so guess it was okay that we didn't get to brunch after all.
