We had a really good Easter weekend! Started with a fun date night for Joey and I and a sleepover at Grandma’s for the kids, then we got to spend the day together playing and dying eggs on Saturday before celebrating Easter all day on Sunday. Now it’s Monday and we get to celebrate Aunt Bean’s birthday, so the fun just keeps on going!

It was in the 70s on Thursday then snowed overnight 🤪 Dempsey went out to brush the snow off the tulips because he’s thoughtful like that. I worked then left to get my nails done and drove straight from my mani to the movie theater to see Sinners in IMAX with Joey. There were definitely some things that felt cheesy/not quite ironed out but it sure was unique and entertaining! I wish I had seen it in a packed theater, I think it would have made for a really fun experience but even so, a director with a vision, writing his own original story and really going for it? I can’t be mad about that! Afterward, we went to Ginger Pig for dinner and it was BUSY in there. Good for them, but less good for me, a person who’s usually in bed by 9:30, not just leaving dinner 😅

I woke up at 8 AM the next morning to a husband who had been up since 5, opening the blinds and telling me how much he loved Sinners 🥱 Sir, please, I just woke up! We had breakfast (I keep meaning to get those stickers off my side table, but… I haven’t) and got a jump on some chores before heading to pick the kids up. Sounded like they all had a fun night! Before dinner, we dyed Easter eggs and even though Lydia knocked over a cup of orange dye, it was the most fun/least chaotic it’s ever been. Lydi got to try her first ever hard-boiled egg and her face when she bit into the yolk 😂😬 She was not a fan! I made us a pasta bake for dinner and then the kids got baths before bed and Joey and I put together Easter baskets, watched Top Chef and went to bed ourselves.

Easter morning as a family of four was wonderful! The kids had a good time going through their baskets and then I made them a fun bunny breakfast (Dempsey told me he doesn’t like whipped cream anymore and he really is mini me) and a less fun but still delicious breakfast for the adults. Afterward, we headed to the backyard to hunt for some eggs. Lydia ate like 12 jelly beans and then we brought out all the bubbles and outdoor toys the Easter Bunny left and played till lunch time. My girl will lay down nice and easy for her nap when Daddy takes her up and what is that?? 😡 After nap, we all got ready and headed over to Uncle Adam and Aunt Lauren’s for dinner. There were eight kids there and my two were a bit shy when we first arrived but warmed up quick and had a great time playing all afternoon. We ate then did another egg hunt and I think everyone had a good time! We left around 7, after Dempsey got some weeds pulled in the backyard 😂😂 This kid! They went to bed nice and easy and then Joey and I watched an episode of The Amazing Race (I honestly can’t stand Jonathan 😠) before heading to bed.

Wishing you all a happy week!
