happy easter!

The Lord is RISEN! 

 

 

Of all the holidays, Easter is my absolute favorite, along with the three days before (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Vigil Saturday).   

 

Have you been watching The Bible on the History channel?  It's become such a hit, becoming part of pop culture.  They've even talked about it on E! News which is awesome (finally something with some value...ehm Kim & Kanye's baby).  Jeff and I have watched all the episodes (in pieces) - who can stay up until 10 these days?!  Not us!  I keep begging him to get DVR so we can watch some of these shows earlier in the evenings.  Anyways, I'm thinking about purchasing the DVD set for Jeff for Father's Day, then it could be something we could watch every Lent.

 

So back to Easter.  What a bust.  No Easter bunny.  No Easter baskets.  No sear sucker vest and newsboy cap for Patrick.  No Mass.  No egg hunt at Grandma's house.  All because of the sickies!

 

First Patrick, then Jeff, then me. 

 

I feel like I've been inducted into true motherhood.  The one where you're puked on by your child (remember spit up?  that's a joke), you take care of him all night long, get everything sanitized and washed in scorching hot water the next day, THEN YOUR HUSBAND STARTS PUKING.  And it starts all over again!

 

Seriously you guys, it's been a rough few days around here.  I'm just glad it's over.  Well, I'm still only functioning at about 80%, but Moms have to suck it up.

 

And I am beyond sad that I missed getting us all dressed up and heading to church to celebrate this beautiful day.  Oh well, we will just celebrate next weekend!

 

Have a BLESSED Easter with your loved ones!!
