On This Rainy Good Friday...

*We made waffles for breakfast. It's been awhile since I got out the waffle iron--the kids loved them!

*Sadie said: "It's a good day to wear jammies all day, not a good day to play outside!"

*Sadie and I put on our boots and jackets to walk Wrigley in the rain.

*I played "house" with the kids for an hour. (Sadie got to be the mom.) When she put us to bed my phone rang. I did not answer it. She came in the room as I was looking to see who called and she said "Mom, do you want to look at your phone? You may see your phone for 2 minutes and then I will come in and tell you it's time to put it away."

*I decorated a hot pink and neon green birthday cake for Sadie. She came in during the process and said "Mom, I love my cake!"

*The kids watched Beauty and the Beast. I had to run in during the "scary" parts to snuggle with them.

*Macey entertained herself for quite some time by throwing a light up crazy ball on the floor. She would watch it, giggle, and toddle to get it again. I loved watching her discover cause & effect... and seeing her cute smile!

* I talked to the kids about what happened on Good Friday--Sadie had lots of questions.

*Snuggled with Sadie to watch the rest of this week's "Dancing with the Stars" after M & K were down for naps... it's our show.

*Folded laundry, worked out, started some packing, and cleaned up the kitchen during rest time.

*Talked on the phone with Jennifer--it was great catching up!

*Kinnick worked on puzzles all during his rest time--he's getting really good at doing 20-25 piece puzzles on his own!

*We "sorted" Easter candy to put it away. Each kid got to pick one piece to have. Kinnick ate his and wanted more--Sadie shared hers without me saying a word!

*Sadie turned off the lights and hid to surprise her daddy when he got home.

*Sadie had a melt-down during dinner and spent some time in her room. When she re-joined up she was much better. Kinnick asked everyone "How was your day? How was your worst part?" (He doesn't really understand the concept of worst yet--he always tells two "favorite" parts and calls one of them his worst!)

*Put the kids to bed and watched "Passion of the Christ". First time I've watched it since I've been a mom... it was a whole new experience.

*Went to bed exhausted.
