Saturday Anthony and I went and did grocery shopping. I had stocked up before the babies were born, but we needed to get some things that had run out. I finally felt like I had the energy and didn't hurt too bad to go. It was an experience. Needless to say I don't enjoy taking them out. It is a circus and everybody wants to touch them and stop me. I thought I feel pretty good doing this we can make church for Easter the next day. Unfortunately the 3 other kids were still coughing a lot and noses were faucets. The babies also slept the worst they had the entire time. They were up every hour, so come Sunday morning I was exhausted and I think finally crawled out of bed at 9. It meant no church. I had figured that would happen when I saw when Easter fell this year.
Regardless we had an enjoyable Sunday. We read the Easter story and spent some time praying. We did a small Easter Egg hunt for the kids. At this point I am realizing I am the mom on Cheaper by the Dozen that her kids are disorganized and wearing whatever they put on. Nothing matches and they may be combining summer and winter at this point. I kind of just laugh. We are working it, but truthfully I am in survival mode at this stage.

All that not sleeping and eating through the night must have helped the babies because they finally are able to fit into newborn clothes sort of. Instead of just wearing sleepers all the time we have graduated to socks and pants. Daphne is finally over 5 lbs. She actually gained 4 ounces in one day. Annalise is over 6 lbs. now. The other day they were exactly a pound apart, but I think Daphne has caught up some. It is crazy they are still smaller than all the other kids are birth and almost a month old.
On a side note somebody is always crying in a photo or trying to eat the other one. Examples above. It is actually really funny when they try to eat each other.
Easter was such a beautiful day the kids begged for shorts and a bike ride. We went after dinner.

This kid and his attire.....I just laughed when we left.
Rain boots, shorts, and a winter coat. Yes he is prepared for all weather.

Lilliana wanted this picture. Her exact words "Make sure you get my clothes in the picture." I fear I am in trouble for the future.
Eli found this big stick and wanted to turn it into a sling shot.
It was a wonderful relaxing day.
