Easter

I’m getting more relaxed with our life as it is.  I remember when we had our first child, there was chaos at first, then we settled into a routine where certain things were expected and  then dealt with.  Of course, this evolves over time, but it wasn’t too hard to adapt.  Then came child number two.  Chaos again.  This chaos lasted much longer.  The chaos evolved into different kinds of chaos.  Things are surprisingly manageable these days.  I hope I don’t eat those words shortly.

Easter was fine.  Todd was up at his usual 4:30, Sean at about 5:30.  They were jacked on Easter Bunny sugar by 6 a.m.  Literally ate all the candy in their baskets by noon.  I was a bit bummed about that because their father and I usually graze the leftovers once the kids have had their fill of holiday candy.

Kids did fine at my husband’s family party.  Ate more candy, plus some proper food.  Sean did parade nude through the party because he was having trouble re-velcro-ing his pull-up after going to the bathroom.  Hell, he did that in a restaurant once.  Sean nudity in front of family is no big deal.

They reluctantly went back to school today.  Lots of protesting.  They love school, their teachers, the bus, their bus driver and bus aide, but I think going from a day of candy to a day of work was what bothered them.  They have one week and one day of school and then we’re off to Disneyland…
