Happy Easter.
Ahh... relaxation, peace, etc and so on.. or. Not?
Shane worked last night- good because working is always a good thing, but hello? Easter morning? Yeah, he came home and went to bed. So the kids really don't get to have Easter morning.
I have an activity planned for the afternoon, but I haven't bothered to put together their baskets because I figured we could do that together when he got home. Instead, he decided to sleep.
Then I put the crib together alone- Malachi coleeps and uses a pack and play the rest of the time since we've been here, but I wasn't willing to put off his having a crib/bed of his own any longer.
Bleh- the stuff I should be able to do with the other parent still isn't stuff that seems to happen that way. Other things do happen though, so I should be happy about that, I guess.
We did family trips to the zoo and up to Harrison Hot Springs. We have fun together. I'm jut feeling bitter that I don't get a proper Easter with the kids and their father today even though we are actually here.
On top of that, Annabelle is a raging hormonal mes at the moment (thank you tween PMS) and the boys are bouncing off that energy and being out of control. I haven't seen them so ill-behaved in ages!
I missed church again for the second week in a row and despite my having screamed in pain as the three year old managed to break my finger while I was assembling the crib (he jumped on the base support as I was screwing it together- apparently fingers don't like forces in those directions) Shane kept sleeping. -_-
On the upside though, our neighbor is moving out and offered me some houseplants and other 'stuff' we didn't have around. It was very sweet and helps to make my comfy escape space more inviting as it's rather a neglected room. I will probably be in furniture flux for a good couple years as we get things established here, but it will get there eventually.
So for now, I'll leave off with a couple pictures from yesterday, and other randomness. We took the kids to the zoo so they could go on the safari minitrain when it reopened yesterday after a couple months of track repairs.
