Kind of strange that Easter not only landed on Conference weekend, but Spring Break as well. Unfortunately for us, most of us were sick. Miles has been sick for the past few days with the crud which usually is accompanied by fevers and vomiting. So that's been fun. I started to feel kind of sick about a week ago but today I got a fever around lunch time. Jett has a bad cough and Dave has a sore throat. Cruise I guess is waiting to get sick later this week.
Luckily last Sunday I had everyone dress up in their Easter best!
On Saturday, we all rolled out of bed and went to the neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt & breakfast. They boys always like that and it gets me off the hook. All I have to do is drop off 30 filled Easter eggs at our neighbor's house the day before and it's all taken care of. We also do a breakfast potluck but it's pretty much a muffin potluck. Lots of muffins.
Despite being sick, Easter turned out pretty well. For Easter baskets this year, I bought sand pails off of Oriental Trading. The baskets from years past got ruined so I had to find something else, but the baskets at Target were stupidly expensive, so I found these pails online for $3 each, and they are surprisingly very sturdy! Go me!
The boys left the Easter Bunny some carrots on the floor the night before and even helped clean the house because Mom says, "The Easter Bunny only comes to clean houses!".
Cruise and Jett each got a package of chocolate dipped Peeps, 2 caramel Cadbury eggs, Lindt chocolates, a tithing bank, a CTR tie pin, a missionary action figure (yes, they're a real thing), a shovel & rake set, sidewalk chalk, crayons & a pad of paper, and they each got a book. Cruise got Click, Clack, Peep and Jett got Happy Easter Curious George. Miles got Lindt chocolates, Goldfish Crackers, shovel & rake set, sidewalk chalk, triangle crayons, a small bubble machine, and a board book: Happy Easter, Mouse!
We had our big meal between General Conference sessions. We had a glazed ham, garlic mashed potatoes, gravy, sauteed garlic asparagus, rolls, and sparkling cider. For dessert we had a banana cream pie.
It was so nice to spend Easter at home, listening to General Conference. So many talks that I felt I really needed.
Hopefully we will all get better to enjoy Spring Break this week!
