It's Easter Sunday, and I'm currently sitting in my bedroom welcoming the peace and quiet that comes from hiding out. Yes, hiding out.
We had a good day, really. But everyone is tired and still recovering from a short vacation we took last week (we drove home yesterday). Novak was up at 3:30 last night and both Tom and I found it almost impossible to get back to sleep afterward. Nile has been on edge all day with a tendency to talk back. Nate is tired enough that he is crazy hyper, and Novak only napped an hour and is quite moody.
I just needed a break.
All of the boys were wonderful this morning at church. I was so impressed at how well they sat and were quiet. I'll be the first to admit that we haven't given them too many opportunities to practice, as we haven't been going to Sunday services for a while. We got out of the habit when Novak was a morning napper, I guess.
We started the morning with Easter baskets and eggs. The older boys were kind enough not to wake us up before 7, although Novak had been singing in his crib since 6...
After church we headed to my parents house for an early meal, then home by 2 pm. It feels weird being home this afternoon. Almost like we forgot to do something. We are usually at someone's house all day on Easter.
But the weather is nice and the sun is shining, so I can't complain. We were able to all get outside for a while and enjoy some weather that we have been missing so much.
I wonder how long I'll be able to hide out in here...
