Or at least at my house today. I have always been extremely blessed to have boys who take great naps. I'm talkin like 3-4 hour naps. Nap time is the reason that I can have all these crazy boys, and not go completely insane. It's my time for myself. Most days during naps, even though I should be catching up on my never ending list of chores, I do something that I want to do, whether it's sewing, talking on the phone, watching T.V., or just laying around. So about 6 months ago when Justin started fighting me at naptime, I started panicking. But I got through it because I figured out that he would still give me a good nap every other day, then it turned into every 2 days, then every 3, until finally nap time for Justin was just a distant memory. Well today there is peace on my earth again because for the first time in what seems like forever, all 3 boys are asleep at the same time!!! I hardly know what to do with this unexpected free time, but I've decided to get our Easter pictures posted before Christmas hits and it's just too ridiculous to post them anymore!
We had a great Easter. I've been teaching Justin about why we celebrate Easter, not really knowing how much was sticking. So yesterday morning, before church, I was so proud when I asked him to tell me about Easter and he said "Well Jesus suffered for our sins and then bad guys killed him on a cross. Then he rected (short for resurected I'm sure!) so now we can live forever with Him." The kid's amazing, and I know that the credit cannot go to me! Anyway, we spent the afternoon and evening with my family, and Grandma spoiled the boys with plenty of Easter treats like she always does! They loved hunting for eggs all over the house and yard, but were a tad disapointed to find that all the eggs were empty. Grandma explained that they would get the candy after they found all the eggs, but I think they had a hard time understanding what the point was with no candy!! We had a wonderful dinner, and left completely stuffed.
