We had a nice day today. On Easter Sunday our youth group holds a fundraiser breakfast. They raised over $950!!! And one teen always gets additional pledges for eating pancakes, he earned $300, and he applies that for scholarships for a special trip.
My mom and Donnie's mom skipped church to take care of Sam, who wasn't feeling well. My mom did a lot of the cooking for our dinner, and that was a nice load off of me. Sam has an ear infection and a runny nose. On top of that all he is teething his molars, so he has lovely diapers, too. Super fun!
We hid the baskets good. Really good. But it turns out we didn't need to hide Kaytlin's as well as we did. It took her 20 minutes to come across Trinity's and even longer to come across Sam's, lol, and if she can't find the super easy ones, well, we needed to go a bit easier on her. We had to give hints to all the older 3. We also hid a gold and a silver egg with money in them. They didn't find those easily either.
We learned a great new game, too. It is called Imaginiff. Not as funny as Quelf, but at least the teens like to play it with us. We played it twice tonight! You roll to see whose name you are using and then you pick a card and put that persons name in it. Imagine if Drew were a shoe, what kind would he be? And then there is a list of 6 shoes. The most matching answers win and go ahead. Going backwards is rare, so everyone really has a great chance to win. And some are so funny!
I have a great pic of the kids, but I can't find the camera cord since my monitor died and a gigantic, ancient monitor replaced my super trim flat screen. Now I think it is under it, but I can't lift it.
I got sick of the virtual school Cody was in and put him in real public school starting tomorrow. I don't find virtual online school to be virtual or online when it is just me homeschooling him and someone else being paid to teach him. He really wouldn't work well for me, either, and I am sick of fighting him. I'm sick of the computer not working, which it isn't most of the time. Tomorrow marks Cody's end of homeschooling, I am not doing it again with him.
My mom has a phone interview tomorrow, too. I am very hopeful for that for her. It is really a long, long drive for her, but it is well worth it, and they sought her out, she hadn't even applied. They found her on monster.com.
Not much else going on, though. I hope everyone had a wonderful Resurrection day!

2 people think my kids are qtpies:
Thats funny about the hidden baskets..I went easy on mine and just had them sitting out for them. Good luck to your mom and the interview.
I admire you go of homeschooling, I could not do it at all I have patience for it (all day) and I not a teacher (my math skill are less then desirable).
The game sounds like it would be fun, my 11yr always asks questions "What if" which after all day long tend to drive us nuts as most of them are "Out there"
It sounds like you had a great day. I have seen that game and thought of getting it. We will have to play it at ladies night.
miss you. I haven't talked to you in over a week...what's up? :)
