Bad Night…

78 things just happened. Haylie and I were just making these cute bunny fruit popsicles for tomorrow (Pictures coming!) while Joe was picking up Connor. Maggie was on a chair eating her 2nd hotdog. As Connor was being picked up, he grabbed onto the chair that Maggie was standing on making it tip over. When the chair tipped over, she fell flat on the back of her head and immediately started screaming. Because she fell on her head, Joe dropped Connor in order to tend to Maggie causing Connor to bang his toe. So- Maggie was screaming, Connor was crying, I was on the verge of throwing up because of the noise made by Maggie’s head smacking the floor and Haylie was still asking if it was time to put the juice in the popsicles. THEN, Maggie wanted me to hold her, but as soon as we walked in the living room, she spotted the “time-out” spot and went and put herself in it. Not sure why… maybe because she was crying? (She puts herself in time-out quite often, actually.) Because Maggie was upset AND had put herself in time-out, Joe felt bad and went to console her. He started to walk downstairs with her and stepped on a laundry basket that was sitting slightly in front of bottom step and rolled his ankle. He fell to the floor, dropping Maggie (carefully this time) moaning and yelling out in pain. I of course, didn’t hear Maggie’s cry for the 2nd time, and assumed the worst, thinking that something really, REALLY bad had happened to her. This all happened within 10 minutes. And surprisingly, everyone’s happily in bed and not permanently injured.

On a brighter note… tomorrow’s Easter! And I am relieved to say that I am not the only one who goes “Easter Bunny” and Easter dinner shopping the night before Easter! The store was packed! But all is well… we are set for tomorrow! We are having homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast and for dinner we are having bbq chicken, mashed potatoes, cole slaw, fresh fruit and rolls. YUM! This year, we are all alone for Easter… sort of weird, yet exciting at the same time.

Here are some pictures of the fruit popsicles we made tonight!

Cut up your fruit of choice. I used strawberries, raspberries, bananas and oranges.

Add Capri Sun. We added enough to cover all the fruit.

Put the “sticks” in and take a picture with your cute, freckle-faced, toothless daughter. :)

Stick ‘em in the freezer! So simple!

I saw this idea on Pinterest and really hope it works!

Here’s to hoping tomorrow is lots better than the 10 minutes we experienced this evening! Happy Easter to everyone! 

He Is Risen!
