Easter

I've been away for awhile, sorry blog, but I'm back. Well, for now anyways.

So our Easter weekend was pretty quiet. Saturday we ventured out for our first fishing trip this year. Also the first time Ayva went without a diaper. She did very well. One of the times I helped her squat on a slope and I had to hold her there for a while and she said, "I can't take it anymore!" That kid makes me laugh!!!

When we got back home I noticed my lower back started to tense up a bit and just tried to ignore it and headed to Wal-Mart for some shopping. When I got to Wal-Mart, Oh Man, was I in some pain. But I had to do the shopping, we didn't really have anything to eat and it was Easter the next day and the Easter Bunny, of course, had to do some shopping.

Every step I took was painful and I almost fell over a couple times. How embarrassing would that have been?!!! Man I'm so old!

Oh and because I was in so much pain, I kept forgetting things I had to get, so I had to go from one end of Wal-Mart to the other about 3 times. I know, so sad for me! But with all that pain, this Wal-Mart trip felt like the longest trip ever. Funny little thought, the whole time I was there I kept saying to myself, "I can't take it anymore!!!"

Just FYI, I hate the Wal-Mart I went to. It's always so busy and I can never find the stuff I'm looking for because they're out. So that just added to my frustration.

I got out to the car, loaded everything in the car (still even more painful), slowly sat in the car and just lost it! I called my hubby and was crying to him about it all and he asked if he needed to come get me (how sweet is that?). I may have taken him up on that offer but the girls were in bed. When I pulled into the garage he was there to help me out of the car and into the house. He put me on the couch and told me not to get up for anything. What a sweetheart!!! That made my night!

The pain only lasted a couple days so no big deal. Unfortunately, I was down for a lot of Easter but the Easter Bunny came to our house and the girls loved it. That's all that matters, right!? Daddy hid some plastic Easter eggs in the backyard and then had fun with bubbles they got in their basket. I skipped out on coloring eggs and good timing, I wouldn't have been able to do it with my back.

Oh, we DVRed General Conference so we watched Conference all day Sunday.

The reason for my back issue....well....we got the girls toddler beds off of craigslist and I wanted to paint them black. The first night I was in the garaged bending over, painting some pieces. I'm assuming it's from that. Lame, I know!!! The whole painting process is a whole other post by itself.

Here are some pics of the girls finding their eggs...
