It's easy to get wrapped up in the egg hunts and Easter bunnies.  This year my heart has been so tender towards my Savior's great sacrifice and what this time of year truly means.  I've almost dreaded Friday all week as I anticipated HIS death, and now I can't wait for Sunday to celebrate the resurrection.  I'm so humbled by His Great LOVE!!! 

We have had a fun week.  We did the resurrection eggs twice this week, did some art work, and made a tomb with crosses and a stone to roll away.  We've also enjoyed a few egg hunts and bunny rabbits.  Enjoy the pictures.

Concentrate, Shepherd!!!

Me and my hot date...for his honors banquet at work. 

  They didn't want to hunt for eggs...they wanted to stay right by the bunny.

Cheer up little ones!!

We love you bunny!!!

After church on Sunday Nate and I both threw a kid in a carseat.  Nate threw the keys into the driver's seat.  He slammed Shepherd's door closed and realized that the doors were locked so he yells to me (as I'm slamming Owen's door) "don't close that door!!"  uhhhh...too late. 

So yes, we locked our kids in the car.  They were both strapped in their seats and couldn't reach to unlock the doors.  My keys were at home.  So I immediately called a couple people who I knew were in church to see if we could borrow their car to run home and get our spare keys.  Uh...whoops, problem--we couldn't get in our house without the garage door opener (locked in the car) or the house key (also locked in the car). 

A lady stopped by and asked if we were locked out.  Humbly we replied yes.  She had pop a lock's number in her phone...and they unlock you FREE if kids are stuck inside.  I was selfishly glad about that since I knew it would probably cost around $50 or so.  A few minutes later a cop showed up.  I guess they have to call the cops if kids are involved?!?  I don't really know.  Maybe they wanted to make sure we weren't abusing our kids.  Anyway, mr. pop shows up and unlocks the door in like 3 seconds.  It was amazing.  The kids remained calm the whole time and thought it was a game or something.  Their mom was not so calm. 

In 8 years of marriage this was our first time to have to call a locksmith.  Hopefully we keep it 1 time every 8 years or so. 

We had an Easter party at our house today...complete with an egg hunt, Resurection eggs and lots of food.  It was really fun.  I'll post pictures one of these days.

Have I mentioned I'm really really tired???
