Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday, what a memorable day! We skipped out on church this morning and caught a pretty early(for us) breakfast. Lance, Dallas, Arielle and myself (Destiny was at her grandparents of course) went to Denny's and had a super unhealthy breakfast. Do egg whites count as a diet food?? lol, Arielle is obsessed with drinking my coffee?!?! So, I let her have her own cup today! Dallas ate really well too!

 Lance said I was taking "sneaky pictures" because he didn't know I snapped this one. I love it, they are too cute! Nothing has changed in the last couple of days, Dallas is still right up his Daddy's butt! Lance loves it, and I enjoy the break too! Win/win situation :)

I am glad I got these few pictures though, Dallas' outfit was too hot for today! We got home and he changed into shorts and a t-shirt immediately! We watched Shrek Ever After and relaxed. Daddy had the luxury of taking a nap, while Dallas, Arielle and myself played a little. It was such a low stress enjoyable day. I couldn't be more grateful! I made broccoli cheese rice casserole and corn bake, while Mom and Robby had the responsibility of the ham and taters! I ofter wonder when I'll be ready to take on more duties...if I had to guess I'd say "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." We are doing good to be where we're at!! Although joking aside, I was pretty good at my dishes. After dinner, we hid the eggs and let the kids hunt for them. Dallas loved finding the eggs with his Daddy and putting them in his basket. The girls also has a good time searching high and low. We stayed outside until dark!! We jumped on the trampoline, played in the sand, ate colored eggs, pulled weeds, blew bubbles, and really enjoyed the company of one another on such a special day! There is such a joy in seeing your kids with smiles and getting to spend all day together...just playing and hanging out. Tomorrow isn't always promised and life is simply too short for shenanigans. I envy those close to their in-laws and wish things were different for my children and myself. Time heals all wounds and what's meant to be will. In the words of the Great Korie Smith, It is what it is :) I think I made this up. After a three day weekend, tomorrow 's Monday and it's back to the grind. I seem to be hovering over losing 7-9 pounds and need to drop more weight quicker. This week consists of eating better, exercising, laundry, cleaning, getting ready for Destiny's 14th birthday party and being the best Mom and housewife I can be! I could tell this weekend when I didn't work out, I actually missed it! OMG, why am I boring y'all with that?!? Time for bed! P.S. I just had a sweet little boy tip-toe in here and climb in bed with his Mommy and Daddy! He's already snuggled up with me and out like a light. Perfect end to an EGG-cellent day! :)
