Spring Break

Spring Break is finally here! Many schools in our state have really late spring breaks compared to other states. Glad it has arrived because we needed a break.

The week started off a little rough when our son found out his best friend is moving away. I was brought to tears when my husband called to tell me. My son has been so brave and tried not to cry. He and his buddy have decided to enjoy the time they have left together. Thank goodness his buddy is staying until mid June. My husband has been a great help because his best friend moved away when he was exactly the same age.

Another major event occurred when our son got glasses this week. Long ago, kids would not have been so excited, but my son couldn't wait to show his friends at school. My daughter wants a pair. The newness of the glasses just has to wear off.

Last night we attended a student art show in town while the kids colored and decorated eggs at church. Today we attended the Egg Hunt sponsored by our city. Two of our nieces are here to visit and attend the hunt with us. Our sweet daughter just about made a run for the car when the Easter Bunny arrived on the firetruck. She does not like dressed up characters (no chance of Disney World). Finally the hunt began, but she never lost sight of where the bunny was at all times. Our brave volunteer fire department prepared lunch for the kids, parents and grandparents. My favorite part of the hunt was the opening prayer. Praise the Lord we still celebrate public events with a prayer thanking God for the sacrifice he made for us. After this egg hunt we went to visit some friends hosting their annual egg hunt. As we arrived they were setting up for a picnic lunch by the pond. We enjoyed some cool beverages as we visited.

After arriving home, I began my preparations for Sunday. It took a while to iron all of the clothes for Easter Sunday. I also whipped up some deviled eggs. I'll share the recipe if it turns out good. I don't eat deviled eggs often, but it just doesn't seem like Easter without them. Spring is such an appropriate season to celebrate our Lord and Savior.
