Siblings: someone to play with, laugh with, fight with, and someone to make mischief with when Mom isn't paying attention. Emily's room smelled powder fresh for over a week.

Happy Easter

We had a nice, quiet Easter at home this year. It was extra nice because it was the same weekend as General Conference, so we all got to sleep in and have a slow and relaxed Easter morning before watching church in our pajamas. And it was wonderful to get to listen to the Prophet on Easter Sunday.

We got pictures of Max and Emily last Sunday in their new Easter clothes since they wouldn't be wearing them on Easter Sunday. Max was being a little stink that morning and WOULD NOT sit next to Emily on the stairs or sit up straight or smile at the camera. He sure is good at being a stubborn little stinker.

Normally I would make Emily a dress for Easter, but after over 5 months of being tired I've finally come to terms with the fact that I'm not going to get back to my normal energy level until after this baby is born. It makes me a little sad because I had so many things I was planning on getting done BEFORE the baby gets here. I'm kind of scared that having three little kids is going to completely overwhelm me. Oh well. I was able to get Emily two spring dresses along with Max's new church outfit for less than I would normally spend on Max's new church clothes, so that will have to do for this year. I have to admit that it is nice not having one more thing on my to do list that might not get done for several months.
