Happy Easter

Happy Easter Weekend!

We had a nice weekend here inFamilyOf5 Land! Friday, DadOf3 was home from work. They get this day off every year and it is very nice. The Princess was supposed to have Friday off too but it ended up being a make-up day for a bad weather day last January. DadOf3 was very efficient and worked on the deck until around 8:30 that night. It was a long day for MomOf3 but DadOf3 was happy. Saturday, we recovered from Friday. DadOf3 was tired! He is not used to climbing up and down ladders as many times as he did on Friday! Sunday was a sleepy day. The Princess was overly excited about the Easter Bunny coming. She woke up around 1:00 AM ready and willing to hunt eggs. I ended up going upstairs to help her go back to sleep (and ensure that she did not go hunting without the Prince and the Knight.) I told her we could go down at 6:00. Note to self: next year make that 7:00! The boys were not up for another hour so the Princess went through every egg she could find. She didn't put them in her basket, she just moved them so she knew where the good stuff was! Crazy kid! The Prince was really into Easter Egg hunting this year too. The Knight was interested in seeing what was in the eggs and eating what was in the eggs before moving on to finding the next egg. Being the socialist family that we are, we had all of the kids empty the eggs into a community bowl for everyone to share. The Princess only fussed a little bit about that. She just wanted us to know that it was she who had found the most eggs. That girl has a true competitive streak! It was a fun holiday but we didn't go too much after the hunt. I was tired after having been up every hour when the Princess asked if we could go downstairs yet. DadOf3 was tired because the Princess woke him up at 1:00 and then at 6:00. Makes me think of those newborn days of yore. Yikes!
