Laundry piled high again.
Losing weight a plus.

Now I've seen it all...
Hmmm...nice, but isn't some of the novelty lost by not actually happening across a piece of the stuff yourself once or twice a year and getting to feel the bubbles pop as you squeeze them between your fingers?

While I was sick in bed the other day, little Judah came running in to inform me that "Woody no want to go to Jo-Pan!" He looked so stricken, as though we needed to help.
In my flu misery, I didn't catch much except the Japan part. "Huh?"
It took me a few moments to realize he'd been watching Toy Story 2 again and was just feeling a little sad for poor Woody, who just wanted to get back home to Andy and not get sent away to the Kunishi Toy Museum in Japan.

Due to the flu, we missed hosting our annual egg-dyeing party with relatives the night before Easter.
Easter morning, I was able to drag my carcass out of bed long enough to prepare the dyes for the boys to still do that, then to take pictures of them finding their Easter goodies.
Before we moved into this house a year and a half ago, I sold all the baskets we had at a garage sale. Last year at Easter, the boys got gift bags with goodies in them.
I had to laugh though, because daddy was in charge of everything (having recovered a couple of days ahead of me), and so this year, in a pinch, the boys ended up with Easter mixing bowls.
It's a bummer being sick over a special Holiday. We felt like we really missed out on the always joyous Easter services at church, celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord with other Believers, and of course the big family get together with all of the inlaws.
It was also my intention to get Judah his own Bible for Easter. A couple of weeks ago while heading out the door for church, Judah handed Jericho his Bible and then looked up at me and said, "Wheow Judah Bi-bow?" all forlorn, because he knows he should have one, too.
So tonight, since I'm finally feeling halfway decent again, I think we're going to re-celebrate Easter. Tell the story of Easter right, have a nice homecooked meal, and maybe go out and get Judah his very own Bible.
And maybe try to figure out what to do with all. those. eggs.

anyway, i also wanted to say thank you - as always - for your words of comfort and advice. i really appreciate it, becky. you are really a kind friend.
take care and God bless always!
sorry about the sick. i love your idea for a redo.
i also love the way you 'speak' for Judah. I can totally hear him saying it every single time!!!
Yuck. Sorry you're feeling so sick. Glad things are looking up though. I think your idea of re-celebrating Easter is a perfect one.
I cannot believe you can catch the flu over the internet. But somehow I feel responsible =)
And send some of those hard boiled eggs my way. LOVE EM
You know what, Becky, I'm pretty sure Jesus didn't die on March 23rd, so I think it's wonderful that you want a do-over. :) Even if He did, it's the celebration that counts, not the date.
For what it's worth, I love the mixing bowl idea. :) Husbands improvise perhaps differently than we would (ahem), but the smiles on your boys' faces showed that it didn't matter what the container was--they were having FUN.
Luuurve your Haiku, and thank you so much for the huge encouragement you brought to my post yesterday.
I hope the frump house is feeling in the pink very, very soon.

So Sorry you're feeling yucky! Your belated Easter sounds wonderful! I loved the whole Easter mixing bowl thing. lol.
Mixing bowls for Easter. Do they get to keep them? or must they return them to the bunny?
Get well soon.
Colds and then the flu? That's not good. I'm glad everyone seems to be feeling better now. Egg salad is the best with all the Easter eggs. My guys love it.
I'm late, here, but I sure do hope you all are feeling good by now!!
The virtual bubblewrap is kind of fun in manic mode, but I agree with you. It's just not the same.
