Life has been crazy busy lately and last week passed by in a blur. My older sister is moving back to Portland and taking my only nephew with her (sniff, sniff), so we held a moving sale. I'm not the one moving so it should have been a stress free day for me, right? Well, apparently I have a lot more sellable junk than I thought, so it took me until 3am to organize and price everything. It was a long day, but the yard sale was successful. So that was event #1. Then we had an Easter Egg hunt at Cora's preschool, an Easter egg hunt with some friends, an Easter dinner/birthday party for my little brother and then finally the Easter bunny came to our house (he was soo exhausted from visiting so many other children on Saturday night, that he decided to wait to visit our house until Monday!). Next up we had some friends come in from Portland and stay with us enroute to Utah (it was great to see you Amber, Tyson and Eliza!!). And finally, in the middle of it all, I got sick. YUCK! Of all the weeks to get sick. So needless to say I have been cranky and mean and completely unmotivated to do much of anything (Amber, sorry for the disaster of a house!), which is why I have not posted a new blog, and also why this one will be completely matter-of-fact. No creative juices have been flowing (although if snot can be labeled a juice, there has been an abundant amount of "other" juices flowing!). I have to apologize for the never ending paragraph, but that is how my week has felt, so I thought it appropriate. I have also included a few pictures from this past week as well. Enjoy!

And finally, Claire and I looking at her loot. As far as she is concerned, those little plastic eggs do not contain candy. I made sure to eat it all before she discovered otherwise (for the sake of her teeth, of course!). Oh and for the record, I am NEVER too sick to eat candy.

The more I read of you, the more I wonder if we are related in some way...I ate our entire stash of Easter candy (which sent me frantically scrambling to the store Friday night for more) without anyone else in the house even knowing we had any. The only evidence is my over-flowing-with-wrappers trash bin next to the computer and tight(er) jeans this week. Sorry you've been sick. It's so hard to be sick when you're the mom. Hope you feel better soon!
How fun that you got to have Amber come visit you! I wish I could come visit you too! Sorry to hear you were sick!
Thanks for taking in a weary traveler and her loud, messy kids when you had so much going on. We really appreciated it!
