Busy Easter Weekend!

He is Risen!  That is the highlight of the day today - Happy Easter & Happy Resurrection Day!

We enjoyed an intimate family morning watching service online and enjoying an egg hunt in the backyard.  It was chilly, but not chilly enough to force us indoors.  It was fun to see our Little Guy collect eggs, he didn't really get it, but he enjoys putting things into containers and dumping them, so it was right up his alley.  He really loved tasting jelly beans for the first time!  Our girls enjoyed their candies and we watched our new movie -The Last Jedi- as a family over dinner.

Our big surprise for the girls didn't get quite the response we had expected.  We used some of our Christmas money to purchase horse riding lessons for a month.  Our youngest daughter wasn't excited.  She says she enjoys riding horses, but she's done that before.  Our oldest is more excited and looking forward to it more.  We shall see how it goes.  I think they will enjoy it more than they think they will.

My hubby and I were DIY Weekend Warriors again this weekend.  We painted our bathroom ceiling and patched up some holes from our old cabinet that we then replaced with a simple glass shelf and hand towel rod.  It really makes our small bathroom look more finished and larger.  Then today I spent the afternoon packing up more boxes and reorganizing some of the toys into our daughter's room.  As I pack up I'm working on keeping things "show" worthy and still livable.

My hubby wants to contact a realtor in the next few weeks to see what they think our home might sell for and what improvements are worth investing in to get the best price for our home.  It's too unknown to have a solid confidence in how I feel about it all.  I'm just taking each step as it comes along and preparing in the most practical ways that I know how.  The more I pack up, the more it feels real that we might move. 

The biggest challenge is finding boxes to pack with.  Buying them is crazy expensive and I don't have a job where I can find lots of boxes like I did when we were younger and moving apartments every other year.  Craigslist has shown the most promise, and of course when I order from Sam's Club or Amazon, I get some good boxes.  Diaper boxes are also a wonderful size!
