Okay, so NOTHING ever goes as planned amirite? First, on Saturday I spent a good oh I'd say at LEAST 30 minutes filling about 300 eggs with candies and struggling to keep them away from the kids *mostly Ben* only for Saria to start throwing up around 11:30 that evening. Needless to say, Brad and I didn't get a lick of sleep Saturday night. Sunday morning was rainy, Saria was still feeling a little under the weather (even though she only threw up once she just looked ill and wasn't acting herself) so we didn't even go to church...Instead, we used that time to sleep off the night before (plus I was feeling a little under the weather myself-I'm sure it's directly related to the no sleep thing) When we woke up, Brad called over at Mom's and let them know that we weren't going to make it for dinner because Saria was sick and we weren't sure if it was the flu and didn't want to risk giving it to Grandpa. Needless to say, she STILL looked a little flushed even though she said she felt better. Around four the weather got a little nicer, sun peeked out at us, so I took a shower and took my three full buckets and the box I had of stuffed plastic eggs and went outside to hide them. We thought with having such a large yard that hiding all our eggs wouldn't be a problem...haha yea right!! We STILL ended up basically tossing them on the ground, but that's okay, because the kids had a blast and even Ben caught on after a few minutes, I think he actually got the most eggs. After we were done with the little egg hunt, Brad made the kids Mac and Cheese for dinner and they went to bed soon after. It took about five tries to get Saria out of bed this morning, poor thing, I hope she got enough sleep to recover fully.

Poor Saria! You should tell her that everyone tells me she looks like a mini-Aunt Hila. That means she's a beauty :). haha ;). She is a beauty, but not because she's a mini Aunt Hila. Also, love the story about the "hiding" the eggs in plain sight. Also, you should ask Samuel where the flood was (since his pants look like high-waters) :). I do miss these kiddos, and I can't wait to get there to see them again! Give them all big hugs and kisses from Aunt Hila the great (that comment was for Brad) :).
I hope that Saria is feeling better. When you have kids you need to have Plan B, C, D, E and F! It sounds like the day turned out fun, none-the-less. I love to hear the stories about the kids hunting eggs. It is so fun to watch. In a year or two you'll have to keep and eye on the older ones as they try to "negotiate" all the good stuff away from the younger ones. LOL! Also, I laughed about Samuel's pants, and Hila's comment! LOL!
well either samuel had his pants hiked up quite far, or his father dressed him again...brad has a bad habit of putting bens' clothes on samuel, and sam's clothes on saria...she went to school with a pair of sam's pants once...it was bad..
The kids are cute. I haven't seen them in person since Benjamin was about 1 month old. Keep posting new pics so that I can see how much they grow.
