Easter Weekend Update

Friday night, I went on a much needed girls' night out. We just went out to eat, and stayed at the restaurant for three and a half hours. It was great. Jordan, on the other hand, had kind of a crappy evening. His work called and informed him that someone was trapped in an elevator downtown, so he had to find a babysitter for the boys so he could save they day and rescue the trapped elevator patrons. (By the way Jordan, thank you for finding a babysitter and not calling me and asking me to come home.) Then, after Jordan got home, he wanted to make nachos, but there were no nacho chips(sorry, dear)then, both the Utah Jazz and the Detroit tigers lost their games.

Saturday, the bishop invited us to his house for an Easter egg hunt. It was supposed to be outside, but winter has made a nasty return to Michigan. Just last week, it was nice and warm, and I even turned on the central air for a while. Now it is freezing and occasionally snowy. The boys and I have taken to chanting, "NO MORE SNOW! NO MORE SNOW!" All we need is picket signs. Anyway, back to the Easter egg hunt. Bishop Robinson and his wife Lisa had yarn strung all over the house. Each child had one long piece of yarn that they had to follow. Eggs and various prizes were attached to the yarn. The yarn ran all over the house, and you had to climb over and under all the other yarn, and it was a blast! We really appreciate that they invited us.

Sunday, Jordan's morning meetings were canceled, and it was nice to have him home for a while on Sunday morning. Mason gave a talk in primary, and he did a very good job. I went to Relief Society for the first time in four and a half years. That was nice.

After Jordan got home from church(he always gets home later than the boys and I)we had the boys find their Easter baskets. (Sorry Mom, I did not take any pictures of this because my house is a mess.) The Easter Bunny gave Mason and Miles frisbees, and when they saw them, they both said, "Plates!!" Miles is still convinced it is a plate, and when Mason tries to correct him, they get in a huge fight about whether it is a plate, or a frisbee. It is driving me crazy!!!

We went to Jordan's parents house for dinner, and had another indoor Easter egg hunt. They boys really enjoyed that too. They were so excited every time they found an egg.

Now Mason has to go back to school after spring break, and I have to clean the gigantic mess that has accumulated in my house. Maybe I'll even fold the laundry that has been sitting in my living room for five days!
