Easter and more cleaning.

We had a decent Easter here. It was the first year that both of my kids were "too old" for the traditional Easter fun. Neither of them even wanted to color eggs (though they admitted yesterday they wish we had) and Matt had to work, so it was a very laid back day. We went to church that morning and they did participate in the egg hunt there. Afterwards we came home and watched some tv. I wasn't feeling well so I napped while they hung out in their bedroom watching movies. When Matt got home they got their candy (they chose to wait until he was home) , and we all spent some time together.

I wasn't feeling well, so I ended up napping some more.....to the point that they all went back to church in the evening and just left me at home in bed. I think the main problem was just exhaustion from everything I did last week. I'm finishing up all the cleaning today. Going through the kids toys and getting rid of all the stuff they have outgrown, the toys with broken pieces, and the stuff they just don't play with anymore. They won't be very happy with me, but it will make me happy. Besides, they don't play with much anymore.

I'm going to keep Wills matchbox cars and his toy guns. Sierra will still have a few dolls. I am keeping coloring books, crayons and all their books, but other than that, I plan to get rid of most of it. They mainly just play video games and watch TV anymore anyway so there really isn't any need to have all this STUFF around.

Why is it that when you decide to spring clean your house it looks soooo much worse before it ever looks better? lol It should be better soon. I'm almost finished. I just wish it was done already!
