Day of Rest

Today I declared it a Day of Rest. Of course for me that is more like a day of not going anywhere and doing things I enjoy like baking,blogging, napping, making laundry soap, and for a treat we will be making homemade ice cream later this afternoon. Oh and meal planning and going to the grocery store. OK so that tells you how busy we’ve been lately that the above list sounds restful by comparison! So in between tasks I am rewarding myself with blog time. I just finished making laundry soap so here is the first post, going back to last weekend…

Good Friday

I worked from home and Will took the children to the zoo for a few hours.

Bella loved the flamingos because they are PINK.

In the evening we had an early supper and then went to services at church. We were actually early, we had time to stop and get Starbucks and then were still early enough to get Bella to nursery, visit, and get spots up front. I just want to document that it happened, once you know? The Fishers were early to church! :)

Easter Weekend

Whoo boy, I think it’s been Palm Sunday on my blog long enough don’t you? Well, at least Easter in one day that you can never be “behind”  on because our Savior is risen, not just last Sunday, but everyday for all time! He is Risen Indeed and has been so good to us lately.

Here is Bella with her Easter pail at the church egg scramble.

This next series is sponsored by Starburst Fruit Chews. Note the yellow one about to be popped into Bella’s mouth…

Love it! Both girls had a mouth full of chewy candy and couldn’t smile – hilarious!

Jacob was there too but I literally couldn’t catch him on film because he found his good buddy Aidan and they were running and running. I did manage to snap one as we were in the car about to leave. Note the big smile and skinned knee (sure signs of an eggcellent time)

That night we had a great family dinner at Pappacitos!

Bella signs the check (she looks so grown up here to me!)

Easter Sunday

The next morning we went to the sunrise service. Well, except it was raining so there wasn’t really a sunrise to see, so we had the service in the gym.

I didn’t take too many pictures that morning, it was very early!

 

Bella’s dress was puffy and wonderful and these are the only pictures I got of it!

Back home, we all changed back into PJ’s and went back to sleep until 10:30! Then we got up to get ready for dinner (AKA lunch on Sundays) and Will’s parents coming over.

[OK, time for me to get a little more work done then I’ll hop on and post some more, I took LOTS of pictures that afternoon!]
