All done coloring eggs!

We always go to Brent's parents for Easter and this year was no exception. So after we returned home friday, I did laundry and we repacked on saturday and headed out to my in-laws. The kids colored eggs that night and the next morning we got up, the kids hunted for their easter eggs and baskets, we went to church and came back and had some great food! (I didn't follow my diet on this day!) We had a good Easter and I enjoyed seeing the kids have fun.

This year my kids really had fun with the easter eggs and baskets and thinks but we talked about the real reason for Easter alot during the weeks before and that was nice. They wanted to go to all of their church classes on sunday, which usually when we go to church down in Ottumwa we just go to sacrament, but this time the kids stayed for all, I left with Sarah and Brent and my father-in-law because Sarah was sooo tired, she did not sleep well the night before. But the kids came home and had rocks with the words Jesus is.... written on it meaning Jesus is my rock, or fill in the blank. They enjoyed it. It was good to see family and reflect on the sacrafice Jesus made for us and to celebrate the resurrection of Christ. I hope you all had a great Easter. And I am not writing about what I ate that day! It was all delicious.

Now it is back to getting up early and excersing and eating right, eggs for breakfast, salad for lunch, chicken and green beans for dinner! All the good healthy stuff! Yesterday my steps were around 11,000, Sarah erased it yesterday, so I don't know exactly, and today they are already 8375 and it is 2 o'clock. Megan and Joseph are at school and Sarah is taking a much needed nap! Well, I think that is all for now.
