dying eggs

Yesterday I paid the Freestone girls to parent my children because I was incapable of doing much. My voice is going and yesterday I could barely get out of bed. But today I forced myself to be an adult because it’s almost as painful to be absent as it is to be present–so much guilt!!

Today I took the kids to the store so we could a) have food in the house and b) dye Easter eggs. This trip enabled me to feed my children well-rounded meals throughout the day and have fun dying eggs with them.

Lydia took this picture yesterday. She came upstairs and said, "Mom, quick! Where's your phone? Mary's all dressed up in her chef outfit and looks so cute! I just have to take her picture!" :)

I took a million pictures of my favorite little guy playing with his toes.
