"Oh where, Oh where, Has my....

weekend gone? It seems like every weekend lately we have been go go go all weekend. What happen to just relaxing and spending a leisurely day with my family...I haven't had one of those in a VERY long time! Nevermind the fact that my husband has been MIA after work since Ash wednesday! Well, Heather, that is what happens when you marry the church organist, but look at the bright side, it practically covers your mortgage!

Today was crazy busy! Keith decided last night at 11:30 that we needed to go out to breakfast this morning. He was STARVING b/c he had to fast for Good Friday. Well the place we like to go and at his request, you need to get there early or be prepared to wait with a not so patient almost 16 month old!

We had our breakfast, went to the bank & post office, got avery's hair cut, and drove to a home improvement store in springfield, stopped at farm stand, and then came home. Attempted to put avery down for a nap, no such luck. Then I had to go to walmart, the grocery store, and to get my hair cut...all done in 2 hours to get back here so Keith can leave for church!

Got home, put avery to bed, unloaded and put away groceries, and FINALLY ate dinner at 7:30. Then I had to make potatoes for tomorrow and get other things ready so all I have to do is pop them in the over to reheat and I can RELAX!

So Easter sunday dinner consists of: Bourbon Glazed ham(no alcohol), roasted garlic+sour cream mashed potatoes with bacon and cheese, roasted carrots, cheese bread and roasted garlic crusty bread, whatever my mom brings(green bean casserole or broc/cheese casserole), and for dessert: pineapple lush cake or strawberry shortcake(you choose!)

Mean while in the middle of all the prepping, my deal Amy calls. I have a question she says...is it ok to buy plastic play food for Gracie if they are marked 3+ years on it? I said I don't see why you can't as long as there are no little pieces. I bought Avery a no spill bubble container that was also marked 3+years and so was the little back pack I picked up for him...sometimes I wonder who puts the ages on this stuff! Maybe we just have some very smart kids!

So finally I am sitting at the computer, drinking my Parrot Bay, wishing it was quiet, but Keith's computer is LOUD! He is on his way home finally...and then I am off to bed for a fun and thrilling easter. I got some eggs to hide for avery in the morning and his little bag of toys. I put the Gerber Grads fruit snacks in them instead of candy. They are pretty tasty if you ask me and don't get stuck in your teeth like the other fruit snacks do. Hopefully Avery will like them!

Happy Easter everyone!
