THE TRAVELING GARDNERS

EASTER SUNDAY It seems the more and more I plan. The less and less the plans ever actually happen. Our matching green church outfits were laid out the night before. The house was cleaned. The Easter breakfast was prepared. The bunny left baskets and surprises throughout the house. The plan was to have Easter surprises, eat a quick breakfast, then get dressed and head off to church. It started with Ben and Zach both having runny green booger noses. Because the kids teachers request that runny nosed kids stay out of Sunday school, I thought we could at least go for the Easter Sacrament program and then go home. Then I started having contractions. The boys then took every jelly bean and chocolate egg and smashed them through out the house carpet. (Next year the bunny will leave coin eggs not candy eggs.)Then Benjamin threw up his Easter breakfast. After walking out of the bathroom with Ben, I told Dan, "I am calling the game on a count of rain." He was on his knee...

This Eatser Sunday we were on a serious sugar rush and lack of sleep craziness. Day before this, Benjamin had his Curious George birthday party. Oh wow - we are tired!!! Cadberry mini eggs, Reces Pieces chocolate eggs, and Wonka chocolate....oh yes I love easter.... (This is Dan's present from Ben and I. It is waiting for him until he gets back from his training that he has to be in super shape for.) Climbing up the couch to get the goodies! Thanks to Grandma Reva, Great Aunt Judy, and his mommy and daddy...Ben had a VERY Happy Easter!!! YUMMMMMM CHOCOLATE...... After this yummy bite we learned that Ben had exceeded his sugar intake for the weekend or he is allergic to chocolate. He broke out in red blotchy spots and threw it up. We might have to stick to jelly beans and peeps next year! Peep eater Tired boy - but it is never too early for peeps says Benjamin! It's egg huntin time! Ben's new "play buddy" Lily came down to visit us from upstairs. Lily is 4 months ...
