Got to love Easter weekend. In true Maurer Party of Five fashion, we were on the go all 3 days, but we did a few things out of our usual "box". Friday we loaded up for a little shopping to prep for our trip to Disney. Avery is the only one who has been to the mall with me and that has been for quick grab and go trips. The mall with 3 kids deserves its own post... yes, that is how traumatic is was for me... and the Macy's store clerks. Let's just say and escalator was involved. Wes was a bit more patient... so patient that he insisted we go back again the next day, which we did. We had to make a few returns from the previous day and of course a few more purchases were made, but we were all rewarded with a trip to the movies - "Rio" in 3-D! That was the first movie I've been to in years, like 8 years...really. It was great, though I cringed when we bought Twizzlers and Starburst after the kids ate their weight in candy at an Easter Egg hunt that morning... you only live once, right?
It should be no surprise that we made plenty of time to be with family this weekend. Friday night we celebrated with all the Maurer clan and Sunday we spent the day at Toppe & Grandpa's. Of course each of these stops included an egg hunt with plenty of candy... lots and lots of candy. Add those two hunts to the other 2 we had and we could open a small candy store, really we could. Holidays are exhausting, but we love them. We are so blessed and and at Easter time we stop to thank God for giving us his son to die on the cross for our sins.
