To be honest, it couldn’t have been more perfect timing for that good news! We took the opportunity to still take a few Easter pics! It definitely wasn’t the Easter we were used to or planned on, but we still got to spend time together as a family, watch a wonderful and much-needed Easter church service, and be reminded of the good news of Easter. The kids loved seeing their surprises from the Easter bunny on Easter morning!Įven though we didn’t go anywhere, the kids (mainly Kinsie) wanted to wear their Easter clothes that I originally bought them. We stuffed them with treats and hid them around the yard and the kids loved hopping around like bunnies finding the eggs. We knew Easter day was supposed to include lots of rain, so we planned our big Easter egg hunt the day before. The kids got extra fancy this year and even added some extra sparkly paint! Instead, we just made the cookies with Ryan so he could help!Īnother one of our favorite Easter traditions is to dye eggs. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to do this tradition this year since my carpal tunnel syndrome is so bad. Usually this is an activity I do with the kids when Ryan is working…just for something to do. Luckily, Ryan still scheduled Easter weekend off so he could spend that time with us. Ryan’s sister’s family was originally going to visit for Easter, but obviously everyone’s travel plans changed. They have great imaginations so they can pretty much stay busy in any environment. Cornhole, nature scavenger hunts, climbing trees, you name it. On other nice days, the kids find all kinds of random games and activities outside.

It makes the kids happy though, so I manage with lots of water, shade, and the large fan in the garage. The kids love it, their large pregnant mama struggles with the heat. We’ve had a few swim suit, sprinkler and water table days. We’ve had lots of nice days, but every so often we get a small dose of summer weather. Any small errand to give us a change of scenery is good for our souls! Sometimes we go get slushies during Sonic Happy Hour. Every once in a while, the director of Brax’s school will put out the treasure box in front of the school so the kids can come by and pick a treasure. We try to go on small, random adventures when we can.

But overall, I have been so impressed with how they’ve handled everything. Yes they fight more, and yes they get extra emotional about things because they don’t know how else to let out their frustration with this crazy life we are currently living.

Overall, the kids have been fantastic throughout all of this. When it’s not, we stay busy inside with modeling clay, FaceTime with family, coloring, and building box houses. I am on complete survival mode with being 9 months pregnant, so I’ve tried to give myself grace about not doing all the exciting Pinterest-worthy projects and activities that I see other moms doing right now. Wake up, have breakfast, let the kids play or watch a show, do schoolwork, find something to keep them busy and happy for the afternoon, have dinner, go to bed, repeat. Overall, our every day has consisted of pretty much the same stuff. We are so grateful for our family, and most importantly, our faith to get us through day by day.
And just when I think things will calm down, it often gets crazier and harder. It is officially baby month AND moving month! Never in a million years did I think we would be quarantined at home during a global pandemic homeschooling our kids, all while preparing for a baby and a move to another state. It seems like time is standing still right now, and that we are repeating the same day over and over again like the movie Groundhogs Day.
