Eggciting Easter

Easter 08

Well, Easter encompassed several days for us this year due to my having to work that weekend. We had plans to decorate eggs and make a cake on Good Friday however Cooper started vomiting that night on top of the wheezing that he had already been doing for a couple of days. He obviously caught what Katelyn had. He vomited 12 times in 5 hours and we really thought we were going to be heading to the ER. Luckily he fell asleep at 10:30 or so and by the next morning he was eating and drinking. We are still battling the wheezing and doing steroid treatments daily which seems to be slowly helping. Katelyn and I did go ahead and dye the Easter eggs on that Friday night while Daddy sat with Cooper downstairs. We mistakenly boiled all of the eggs we had in the fridge not remembering that we needed a couple of eggs for the cake batter. So, on Saturday morning we baked the cake and had fun decorating it before I went to work. Sunday morning we gave the kiddos their Easter gifts which were a huge hit. Katelyn got a really cute picnic basket and Cooper got a wooden bowling set for outdoors along with some other smaller items. Ryan and the kids took off for his parents later that morning since I had to work again and they had a great time. The next day the kids were just dying to have an Easter egg hunt so I filled about 40 eggs with M&Ms and we had a hunt in the basement. They had a blast but needless to say, the M&Ms didn't last long. All in all it was a fun Easter. We have yet to exchange Easter gifts with my side of the family but will be doing it soon. In the meantime we have lots of candy to eat!
