Easter at the Woodworth's

Saturday morning we went to an easter egg hunt at the park. Which ended up being only candy! argh. The boys wanted EGGS! Dominic ended up with 1 piece of candy..cause he wanted eggs. Jeremiah was ok with it, he got a lot because he loves candy! After that we went out to eat at Dennys. Came home cleaned up some, sent the boys out to play. Then we let them dye some easter eggs. They had fun with that. It came with some stuff so they could color on them to.

On saturday evening I read a book (designed for toddlers) to the boys that goes along with the resurrection eggs we have. Then we put them to bed. A couple hours after they went to bed we hid plastic easter eggs all over the house, some of them had candy in them, some did not. There was a package of 48 and then the left overs from last year.

When they woke up in the morning I was in the shower, so they ran in there and told me that they found eggs and CANDY! I sent them on telling them to go find more eggs. Hubby was awake when i got out. And they had a full pile of eggs and mouthes full of candy. We sat around for a little while, then decided we'd better get the boys ready to go to church.

We got to church at 9am for an Easter breakfast. It was all right, but it can be a bit difficult with 4 boys in tow. lol. The bible study started at 10, and our class pretty much had a fellowship type bible study. We had 1 question that the whole group talked about. The question was What day do you think is more important Easter Sunday or Good Friday? Then we went for the service. They start out with worshiping, at this point everybody is in the sanctuary, uncluding babies...and it's kind of hard for me to keep up with all 4 boys, even with hubby's help..so he ended up taking the 2 babies out. That's when Jeremiah (he's 2) started up being quite disobedient and actually saying he wanted to go to the nursery. Then Dominic said he had to go pee. argh..so i ended up taking those 2 out too..but not to the nursery. There is a bench in the fellowship hall that i make them sit at when they can't sit good in the church.
Anyhow, we waited for childrens church to start. They had an inside (it was raining) easter egg hunt for the kids. With a limit of finding 6 egg a piece. I had never been to one w/a limit and i thought it was quite nice. Jeremiah and Dominic are both in the childrens church. Jeremiah being younger (usually they start at age 4) but being very ready for the step up. Dominic being 4, but not quite ready for the step up..lol.
I stayed and helped my 2 with stoping at 6 eggs, dominic did great with this and so did Jeremiah!
Jeremy was in the nursery taking care of the baby Nathanael, that way the nursery workers could put on a egg hunt for the walker in the nursery. There is actually quite a lot of toddlers in there, and nathanael is the only infant. hehe. They put goldfish (crackers) in some of those eggs, and the little guys got smart, and would leave the eggs behind that they found empty in search for the ones with the goldfish in them..LOL
After both egg hunts were over we went in to see the rest of the message..then came home. Before we had left, but after the boys were in the van. Hubby ran in and put some easter baskets on their beds. SO when we got home, hubby sent them to their rooms...and they found their baskets.. and they loved them. lol
Then I cleaned up the livingroom floor Which I try to do less cleaning on sundays, but with 4 boys so young I can't do none..lol
We sat down and a did the resurrection eggs with them again, this time a lot longer and more into it. This week we will be spending more time with the eggs as well since Dominic is out of school this week.
I had Jeremy watch the boys while I snuck out to the backyard and hid the plastic eggs and the boiled eggs ( we can't hide boiled eggs for too long cause our dog likes to eat them..lol) about half hour after I came in we let the boys go outside to play with their new toys....that's when they found more eggs to find. Then we let them play outside for awhile longer while hubby took a nap. I brought the boys in and gave them a bath after awhile.
WHen he got up we ate dinner (corned beef and cabbage) let the boys wind down some and put them all to bed..which they were awake in bed for about an hour longer..lol. they had too much candy yesterday. lol

well that is about it..hehe
