We had went to bed on Saturday hearing that a 'BIG" snow storm was on its way. When we woke up Sunday morning, there were only big rain puddles in our backyard. I looked at the forecast, and there was still a storm on the way. I then headed out to church to do the van route and snowflakes had started to fall. By the time I arrived to church, the grounds were starting to be covered with a dusting. Within the next 30 minutes, the vans were cancelled out of safety. They didn't want to risk them sliding around in this weather. I went home, planning to drive back with the family. We watched the weather as it got worse over the next hour or more, and decided not to chance it. It was the first time as members that we all stayed home because of weather.
On Monday evening we watched the "Karate Kid 2" on Netflix at the kids' request. Then it was time for them to go to bed. Lydia and I got a few chores done while watching some tv.
Tuesday turned out to be pretty nice, the snow was melting! Lydia didn't have class meeting during the evening, so we all went to my parents' house. We visited while the kids colored eggs! Several got cracked in the process, but there were three dozen, so it didn't really matter.
After work, we met at home, rushed getting ready, and headed out for Wednesday night services. All the kids got to play a bit outside before services started.
Lydia didn't have classes on Thursday, so she got to get some things done, including getting oil changed on the vehicles, then she met me for lunch. We then took off to look as some things for our upcoming, bathroom remodel. We picked up the kids and found out from Mysia that her school had gone under a "lockdown" before dismissing. Apparently there was a domestic dispute with a shot being fired several blocks away from the school. Things were handled fine, we just wish we were notified by the school. Lydia attended a PTA meeting after supper, in which she found out more facts on what happened than what Mysia had told us. When the meeting was over, she picked us up and we headed out to catch some of the concert with the Talleys. It was then home and showers before bed.
Good Friday! I didn't have to go into work, so I got to stay home and get a few things done. I had wanted to take a nap, but a few phone calls to deal with some bills kept me on hold for most of the afternoon. We had a quick supper once everyone was home, and then headed out to church for a special Tae Kwon Do testing. Silas was in town, and Sam was able to have him test for blue belt! Afterwards, we got to hang out with family and friends... and stayed out late! Mysia got to spend the night at Granny's.
Malachi and I attended Men's Prayer Breakfast with the men at church. Lydia went in to work. And since Mysia was at Granny's, they made treats for Easter. Malachi and I headed for Tae Kwon Do class and then picked up Mysia. Once home, we took naps and got the house picked up before Lydia came home. After eating supper, Lydia went grocery shopping while the kids got their weekly baths. They then watched an animated video on the life of Christ, which included the crucifixion, burial, and resurrection. Once over, they went to bed and Lydia and I continued our Easter tradition of watching the "Passion of Christ".
