Monday, I spent the day cleaning some of the kitchen cabinets and organizing the pantry. It was a lot of work, but it felt great to get it all clean and organized. Tuesday I cleaned a few other things around the house and organized the master bedroom a bit. It still needs some work, but it is better than it was before.
Wednesday, we ran errands and purchased gifts for Easter baskets that will be given to area needy children through our local family services organization. Megan chose a basket for a 10-12 year old girl and Connor a basket for a 6-10 year old boy. They chose candy - chocolates and Starbursts, giant lollipops, and chocolate eggs. Megan chose lip gloss, fingernail polish, and a magnetic dry erase locker board for the girl, while Connor chose bouncy balls, a paddle ball game, and silly string for the boy. Both Megan and Connor selected a small stuffed bunny to round out their baskets. We had a great time selecting the Easter treats!
We met Stephanie, Colton, & Carson for lunch at La Hacienda. We enjoyed a nice lunch together before heading to our house so the kids could play. Stephanie and I spent some time together while the kids rode bikes and ripsticks and jumped on the trampoline.
Blake took Thursday and Friday off of work so that we could all spend some time together. And spend time together we did. We did not relax around the pool or watch movies. Instead, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday we trimmed trees and bushes, stacked and relocated limbs and branches, cleaned flower beds, spread two yards of dirt, and put down a pallet of sod in the front yard.

Needless to say, we were exhausted on Sunday. We wrapped up the weekend with baseball practice, YoungLife letter night, and Life Group. It was a great week, but I think that I need to go back to work to get some rest!
