yawn.....

took a bit of a bloggy break there, didn't I?  Sometimes that just happens when life gets busy!

this last week was full of preparing for Easter, book club, family, and a stint of BAD sleeping for Zach!  I tell ya, I totally do NOT understand his sleeping.  We haven't had issues like this in almost a year I would guess.  Talking about fussing about going to bed, whining/crying/screaming after leaving him when finished putting to bed, waking up in the middle of the night and getting up early in the morning.  No issues during the day, but nighttime has been a battle making for a very worn down daddy and mommy at the end of the night.  Anyone else ever go through phases like this?  I am hoping that is all that it is and we can be done with it soon.  It is one thing to be woken up in the middle of the night on the weekend, but during the week ain't gonna cut it for this working momma!   It makes me very irritable too because the reasonings are so irrational and i lose patience quickly.  I wish I knew what the real issue is so I could fix it!  Fingers crossed to better sleeping tonight...we all need it.

despite the bad sleeping of Z....we had a really nice long Easter weekend.  We spent a lot of time outdoors as usual and had fun dying eggs, making a bunny cake, and attending Church together and celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus and egg hunting!  Here are a few pics from our weekend.  I hope you had a great Easter weekend with your family/friends as well!  Be blessed, He is Risen, Hallelujah!

These were the best 2 I got of the boys together....they were WAY too interested in other things going on!  And I totally forgot to even get a picture of the 4 of us....oops!

(the Easter bunny brought the boys a pirate ship pool...needless to say, it was a big hit!) :-)
