We had a quiet but fun weekend. Friday afternoon, the girls and I went over to my parents house and spent the night. We played games and had a lot of fun. They are leaving on their mission soon so it was good to go and spend some time with them. We hope to see them a few more times this week before we have to say good-bye for six months. Paige had a ball playing with her cousin Josette all day Friday and Saturday morning. My sister and her husband have moved into my parents to house sit while they are on their mission.
Saturday morning we were up and running as we had two Easter egg hunts scheduled. I also discovered Saturday morning that both of my girls are sick AGAIN. Here we go with Round 2 of the cold bug. Twice in 2 1/2 weeks. Will it ever end?!?
Our first Easter egg hunt was with Joseph's parent's ward. They put on an Easter egg hunt every year and invite the community to attend. Joseph took Paige last year. I was pregnant in the hospital in pre-term labor so I wasn't able to go. This year I took the girls because Joseph is gone with the Marine Corps. Paige is pretty passive so she only ended up with about 10-12 eggs. Some kids had baskets that were overflowing. Maybe one day Paige will figure out that the faster you go, the more eggs you get.
She made up for it at the second Easter egg hunt. Joseph's parents had one in their backyard for the kids. Since she didn't have as many kids to compete with, she walked away with 41 eggs. I forgot my camera so I don't have any pictures. I will have to get some from my mother-in-law. After the Easter egg hunts, the girls and I spent the afternoon with Joseph's parents and sisters. We got home late afternoon and just had a quiet evening at home.
Easter was especially lonely. Since the girls were sick, we didn't end up going anywhere for Easter since we didn't want to infect anyone. My mom came and watched the girls so that I could go teach my Primary lesson. I made a not-so-Eastery dinner of One Dish Mexican Dinner (family recipe), fresh strawberries, and corn. The highlight of the day was the phone call from Joseph. He didn't think that he would be able to call but he did and it was so good to talk to him for ten minutes.
Now the week has begun. Lexi had a rough night last night so I am a little tired but there is a lot to be done. Hopefully I will get a few of my plans accomplished. Some had to get cancelled with the girls being sick but that will just give me more time to accomplish all that has to be done at home. Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!

Sorry to hear that the girls are sick. It's good that you got to have some fun with your family. We had our family Easter dinner on Saturday, so our Easter Sunday was pretty much like any other Sunday. Hope Paige and Lexi get better soon!
Sickies, AGAIN? That's no fun. I'm glad you were able to spend part of your Easter weekend out with family, though. You'll definitely have to see if Aunt Connie has pictures of the hunt at their house so you can post them :)
