1st week of April

Looks like I've been busy this week, huh?  I guess that's good.  Staying busy tends to keep me out of trouble.  :)

On Wednesday, Samuel's class had their egg hunt.  I was due to go back to his school that afternoon & read a story but ended up going to the ER with Larry instead.  He had the weirdest thing happen.  Now, I realize that hearing anything about my family & then hearing the word "weird" is no longer a big surprise, but this time it was really weird.  He had these odd electrical shock feelings shooting down his spine & arms.  Kind of like when you wear rubber soled shoes & drag them on the carpet & then touch something & get a shock....except it was all down his spine.  Throughout the day it got worse and ended up leaving him with his pinkie fingers on both hands gone numb.  We were getting worried about it when he ended up getting struck with a mild case of food poisoning.  We didn't realize the 2 weren't connected so in a panic, we went to the doctor & she ended up sending him to the ER.  She was a little nervous too...trying to rule out an aneurysm or a stroke due to the symptoms he was describing.  Thank goodness it turns out that the 2 weren't connected.  The doc thinks that he probably has a pinched nerve that was causing the weird shock feelings.  We'll find out about that soon.

On Friday, Sarah had her class party.  That was fun!

Then the week got really odd.  Ok, let me remind you....we're in NE Texas.  It's April.  We packed away all the fall/winter clothes about 2 weeks ago.  All of them.  Every last stitch of long-sleeved clothing.  We've been wearing shorts & Tshirts/tanks for 2 weeks.  So when the temp dropped dramatically on Thursday night, it was odd.  It was pretty chilly Friday......but then Saturday morning it was REALLY cold.  Cold enough that it began to SNOW!  It wasn't just a light flurry either.  We had wind blowing HUGE snowflakes all over the place.  Very weird....  The kids had a ball, though!!!  (See pic above)

Sunday (today) was Easter.  I'm including pics of everyone above in their Easter duds.  Also, there are pics of the kids hunting eggs this evening.  Samuel was feeling sick this morning but seems all better now.

I hope everyone had a good week & a blessed Resurrection Day!
