So it was Easter weekend, so it automatically qualifies as “good” in my book. After all, we celebrate the fact that the God of the universe came and died and rose again so that we could be called “sons of God.” Yep…pretty darn awesome. <\/p>\n

Still, my MIL took my kids overnight on Friday night, and Eric went to get them on Saturday. So I had two whole days to myself! Yippee!!! I ran errands, I wrote, I goofed off, I went on a date with my husband, we slept in, I ran more errands, I checked things off my list left and right. And then everyone came home and that was lovely, too. I miss those little monsters when they’re gone!<\/p>\n

Sunday, I was covering Sunday School for a friend, so to be honest, church didn’t really feel like Easter, though I did get to share the Easter story with a whole mess of 2 year olds. (Talk about enthusiasm when you tell them to yell “Jesus is Alive!” – we should all take lessons from them on that count…). Then we got donut holes for a snack, waited for Eric to get home (he’d played in the orchestra for Easter Sunday), then we packed up and headed to my parents’ house. We had an egg hunt with 5 kids ages 15 months – 4 years…totally fun. We had a super-yummy dinner, and then I got to sit and talk to my mom and sister for, like, hours. Definitely fabulous!<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, our return to “normal” today hasn’t even been terribly difficult. It was almost like I was ready to go back to “real life” after all the craziness of the weekend. <\/p>\n

But I will leave you with two great things. A good, hearty, “Jesus is Alive!”<\/p>\n

And some cute pictures of my kids from yesterday…<\/p>\n
