It was decided that we would go and spend Easter with Grandma Ackerman and Auntie Sara. \u00c2\u00a0 Scott decided to get sick on Wednesday of last week. \u00c2\u00a0 He stayed home from work Thursday and Friday. \u00c2\u00a0 He wasn’t sure if he was going to make it Fresno or not, but was a saint and went anyway.<\/p>\n
Friday night was a busy one for me. \u00c2\u00a0 With Scott sick I did not prepare as I should have for our Fresno trip, so I did it all Friday night. \u00c2\u00a0 I finally got to bed around 12:30 am. \u00c2\u00a0 I woke up at 4:30 am, showered, dressed and loaded the car. \u00c2\u00a0 Scott helped get the kids in the car. \u00c2\u00a0 As soon as we departed everyone fell back to sleep (even me!!:0) \u00c2\u00a0 It seemed as though it would be an uneventful trip in a van with lots of power, but boy were we wrong. \u00c2\u00a0 I guess, I don’t know because I’ve never been car sick, ridding in the back of a really big van can intensify the feeling of car sickness. \u00c2\u00a0 Niah threw up once and Milo twice. \u00c2\u00a0 We got to grandma’s about 9 am.<\/p>\n
It was a fun visit. \u00c2\u00a0 Scott installed an air conditioner in grandma’s bedroom window to help her be more comfortable. \u00c2\u00a0 He did a great job and I think grandma will be more comfortable. \u00c2\u00a0 I spent the time trying to take care of the kids and their messes and prepare for our bar-b-que and egg hunt. \u00c2\u00a0 The kids ran Auntie Sara ragged and the dog too. \u00c2\u00a0 They went from one activity to the next. \u00c2\u00a0 The kids dyed eggs with the other old people at the place and had to fight a blue bird during the egg hunt (it was the most amazing thing. \u00c2\u00a0 The bird went after the eggs and either picked up the whole thing and flew away or just opened it and ate the candy inside.) \u00c2\u00a0 We left about 7 pm and got home in enough time to put the VERY tired kids and parents to bed.<\/p>\n
The next morning Scott decided to stay home from church. \u00c2\u00a0 The kids and I dressed and headed off to church. \u00c2\u00a0 Things were going well till Afton decided she needed to eat. \u00c2\u00a0 While I was trying to coax Niah to come with me, she started a lovely temper tantrum. \u00c2\u00a0 Complete with screaming and hitting me in the face. \u00c2\u00a0 I was holding Afton too so I couldn’t do much about the tantrum. \u00c2\u00a0 By the time I was out of the Chapel, I was holding Afton by the neck and Niah was screaming and kicking and hitting and just a mess. \u00c2\u00a0 As I was considering all the things I should do to her once alone, I realized that I was being followed, boy was Niah saved!! \u00c2\u00a0 :0)<\/p>\n
Really, the whole of church was great. \u00c2\u00a0 That was the only incident and no one gave me a hard time about it, so that was nice. \u00c2\u00a0 We came home and put everyone for naps, even Scott and I. \u00c2\u00a0 After naps we cleaned up a bit and I cooked dinner. \u00c2\u00a0 The missionaries came over and enjoyed dinner with us. \u00c2\u00a0 After they left I put the kids and Scott to bed. \u00c2\u00a0 I stayed up another hour to do a few things then retired myself.<\/p>\n
I’ve been waiting for a night when all the kids would just sleep through the night so that I could to. \u00c2\u00a0 Well, I got it last night. \u00c2\u00a0 Not one kid came and disturbed my sleep, however, I was up every two hours!! \u00c2\u00a0 I guess it’s just habit now, I dunno. \u00c2\u00a0 I was up constantly, for no reason at all!<\/p>\n
Scott went off to the doctor this morning, he’ll have to report on that. \u00c2\u00a0 That’s all for now. \u00c2\u00a0 We do love all of you and love to hear how your lives are going too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
