What a week! I feel like I run around all day chasing after kids, cleaning up messes, doing laundry, and all that everyday stuff, that, I, like people who work outside the home, look forward to the weekends! Well, I knew this weekend would be a busy one, but fun also, getting to spend time with family and good friends :)
Friday night I participated in the Good Friday Night of Worship our worship leader ( and my brother-in-law) put together. I think this is the 3rd year our church has put this together and it has been such a blessing each year! I am so proud of Steven for listening to the Lord and really putting something of quality together that can honor God on this important day. Then Saturday, some of our ladies did a bake sale ( which I totally forgot about- I'm a horrible president!) so, I went to check in with them at around 8, grabbed some milk at the store and another egg coloring kit. Got home to eat some breakfast ( maybe this is another reason I look forward to weekends- Thad cooks!!) The kids wanted to color some more eggs-Thad had done some with the kids earlier in the week- so daddy boiled about 2 dozen more eggs and we colored all of them!
Then we decided to take a walk down to the bake sale and get some goodies! I bought a can of pop ( I am still pop free!! I haven't had pop for about a month now) to make my beer bread and another carton of eggs, because we boiled all of ours :) We got home, put little man to bed, and I put my beer bread in the oven and the kids rode their bikes for a little while.
We headed over to Steve and Mendy's house for dinner and an egg hunt. Lots of good friends and all our family- so much fun!
We spent all day eating, playing, and enjoying spending time together. We headed home about 7, made a pit stop at the dollar store for some pecans and wipes. We got the kids' baths and put Thatcher to bed. Jude and Elsie stayed up and made resurrection cookies- the link to where I found this recipe is here. It was so neat to see their reactions and an awesome way to make what Jesus did for us very real for the kids.
After we sealed up the oven, the kids went to bed and so did we!! The alarm went off at 5:30 a.m. the next morning and we got the kids up and brought them to sunrise service in jammies :) We ended up getting home about 8:45, enough time to get the kids in their Easter outfits ( which I forgot to take pictures of!) and headed back to the church for sunday school and morning worship. We came home, ate leftovers, and took naps!! At 3:30 my mom called and reminded us to head over to my aunts house for dinner and another egg hunt:) We stuffed ourselves silly and the kids got MORE candy ( which they are still eating!) It was a beautiful day!
We had a wonderful weekend, and are so thankful for what Christ did on the cross! Praise the Lord!
I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend!
