Happy Easter!

We ended up having a wonderful Easter this year! We did something a bit different- we went out to Long Island to the Beach House for Easter with our cousins- something we have never done. We had a relaxing weekend (in the rain) , colored eggs and vegged out, and then had a super delicious brunch on Easter morning with lots of family who came for the day. We had a show the kids put on about the Easter bunny, a trip down to the beach on a windy cold day, and even celebrated a few belated birthdays. Then we packed everything up and drove home to be at school the next day. We decided it was definitely worth the trip!! The girls were quite happy with their loot and I have been happily picking through it too!

Fever!!!

OK- This is not the first time it has happened....however....why is it when my kids get sick, it turns into a week long production, while most of the rest of the world is back on their feet in a day or so? I know I should thank god and it could be worse......yet.......my 6 year old has had a fever for seven days straight. We are talking 101- 102 fevers. Did you ever try to keep a 6 year old in bed for a week? She has been fabulous about it...but I am totally stir crazy. She missed a week of school, I missed work, and we missed a whole fun weekend....at least it is now spring break. YEAY! Time to get everything done that I have been waiting forever to do....not sure where that list has disappeared to! By the way- still no new kitchen or upstairs bathroom yet....still working on it! Hopefully, Gi will be on her feet soon and we will all be able to enjoy our week off.


(Just to add to this post- Gi had the fever for seven whole days- here she is on day 7 happily eating the cotton candy Daddy brought her after she missed a trip to the city for a show!!)
