A Day in the Life: Easter Sunday

“At least I didn’t swear this year so we’re off to a good start! Certainly better than last year.” Those may or may not have been the words spoken by my husband upon (finally) packing everyone into the car for church on Easter morning. Not everyone was happy, but at least everyone was cute.

Priorities.

It was only 9:40am but everyone was already bouncing off the walls more than usual since the “Sugar-Nazi,” ME, had allowed breakfast to come from the Easter basket. It was tasty, but there were consequences…

Church was awesome and we were off to Nana’s house! Lunch, chocolate, dinner, chocolate, more Easter baskets, chocolate, jelly beans, and more chocolate.

How is it possible that my children received more candy for Easter than for Halloween? Oh well. At this rate it will last until October when it gets restocked! And Easter is way better than Halloween so I guess it works.

I don’t know if any of you do this, but whenever we are at my mom’s house, we kinda stop watching our children. Well, that’s not entirely true, unless you ask my brother, but we do stop watching them with both eyes since there are lots more adults around. Tim falls asleep on mom’s couch (every time) and I try to squeeze in as many adult conversations as possible before we have to leave and once again be the only 2 adults responsible for our 3 preschoolers. Being outnumbered is so unfair.

After a second dinner (in the car) of more chocolate we got everyone home and in bed and then finished off the night reading Christmas updates. I know. What can I say? Finally got around to catching up on everyone’s 2012, better late than never. Reading Christmas cards at Easter seems a perfect way to give you a tiny glimpse into life with twins. Never boring and never seasonally appropriate.

Happy Easter everyone, He is RISEN!!!


Disclaimer: In case you think I threw my husband under the bus by telling the world he swore on Easter Sunday (gasp!), for every “incident” like that he has, I probably have 10. So there you go.
