Friday - met L and the boys for dinner and then watched a movie with the kids before bed.
Saturday - L decided at the last minute to go do a training walk with her team (she is doing the Avon 39 mile walk next month.) I took the kids to get some summer clothes (7 pairs of shorts and 4 shirts for $77 at Kohls. Holla!), to the kids swimming lessons, and to get new bathing suits and shoes, before meeting L for lunch. We went home and the kids played with the neighborhood kid at the park for a long time while the adults hung out and drank some beers. I made dinner. Kids watched Star Wars before crashing.
Sunday - We did an egg hunt at the playground, went to breakfast, went to Whole Foods, and to the book store. L and I rested/watched a movie while the kids put together their new Lego sets. I made dinner while L did some work. Watched some more Star Wars with the kids and watched Shameless after the kids went to bed.
The weekend was nice. Saturday was a whirlwind of activities and errands. And I somehow picked up conjunctivitis (I'm guessing from hanging out at DD's daycare on Friday for lunch with the easter bunny).
Sunday morning I went to urgent care to get meds for my eye. Then friends came over for brunch and the kids had an easter egg hunt. It was so cute and fun to watch them!
Friday - The boys reacted pretty rough to their two month shots so we had a snuggle day. I stayed in bed with them most of the day sleeping off an on. Despite the reason they didn't feel well, it was a really fun way to end maternity leave.
Saturday - Met up with M's longtime childhood best friend that lives a ways from us. She was in town to visit her parents for Easter. That afternoon we cleaned the house for Easter and watched Revolution.
Sunday - had a mess of people at my house making a mess

Friday: My folks had picked up E from school, so I got take and bake pizzas on my way home. Dinner with the family and then my dad and I hung the wall mount for the flat screen TV my brother sold me on the cheap.
Saturday: E was up bright and early. After breakfast my dad and I got to work sawing down some ugly pointless (based on their location) bushes the previous owners had planted and I mowed the grass for the first time this year! We had GORGEOUS weather all weekend. Saturday afternoon my parents left for my brother/SIL's house and E and I asked her dad to come over for the neighborhood egg hunt. Since the weather was nice the hunt was crazy popular. It was like a wave of kids across the grassy hillside, all done in about 5 mins. But there were treats and a bunny in costume. After the hunt E's dad had dinner with us at my place. He's in a(nother) rough spot so offering dinner and time with E seemed like the right thing to do.
Sunday: E was up by about 6:30. Ugh. Just as well that I got up early since I was hosting, but still... E got her small basket and hunted for eggs I hid around the house. Then I went about prepping for brunch: a ham, onion asparagus and cheese frittata, baked french toast, fried potatoes and lime scented fruit salad with strawberries, mango and pineapple. Everything turned out great and I was told I was Martha Stewarting it. My dad and brother hung the TV for me and I got to spend time snuggling my new nephew. After the family left, E and I hung outside enjoying the sun, ran an errand and spent more time in the sun. Then it was time for bed and laundry and dishes.

Friday I don't remember. I don't think we did a lot since my wife has been sick.
Saturday she worked OT. I took the boy to the zoo with my sister and her SD (his cousin). That was a lot of fun. After my wife got home she realize she didn't have her wallet and after calling someone at work they found it was there . She decided to wait and just pick it up this morning when she went in. We went out for burgers because she was craving them. We got the boy home and into bed, then got stuff ready for the morning.
Sunday we did Eastery stuff. Eggs/basket at home, church, then I dropped her off so she could rest while the boy and I went to see his cousins and have an egg hunt. After that we went to my mom's BFF's house for her annual feast, then home to get my wife and off to a game.
The weather was perfect this weekend. It was like June - sunny and 70s.
Saturday we cleaned and then Jen did the lawn while I cleaned and babyproofed. She dropped us off at my parents' so we could spend time with my sister and parents while she went to see The Host. (I didn't want to see it, so it worked out well.) We played with the babies in the yard until it was time for their naps and then my mom and I played Wii while my dad and sister worked on her truck. My mom made dinner when Jen got back and then we took the babies home and put them to bed and I went grocery shopping. I boiled and dyed eggs by myself just for fun and then we watched Downton Abbey.
Sunday morning we got up early and did food prep and finished cleaning the house. Jen likes to go to church on Easter and wanted to take the babies so I went along to help, and actually enjoyed myself - I'm not a church person, but it was very friendly and welcoming and light-hearted. My sister joined us and came over afterward to help with the last of the food prep, and my parents and our friends and their son came over for dinner. We served leek soup, jicama/pineapple/mint salad, fruit salad, ham, twice-baked potatoes, Brussels sprouts with pancetta, and Eton mess. The babies explored their Easter baskets and we did an "Easter egg hunt" in the backyard - all the eggs in one little area, filled with Cheerios
I was wiped afterward and Jen cleaned the kitchen, we watched an episode of DA, and I was in bed by 9:00.

My FET got cancelled on Thursday and on Friday I was still pretty upset about it, so I just went home and vegged and ate Easter candy.
Saturday we cleaned, did massive amounts of laundry and went shopping for Easter dinner food before my ILs showed up after lunch. We hung out with them for a little while and then went out to dinner.
Sunday we made an Easter breakfast feast. I made homemade English muffins (which are amazing if I do say so myself) and we had eggs, maple bacon and mangoes. We hosted Easter dinner with my sisters, dad and step-mom, ILs, and my 100yo great aunt. We made ham, asparagus and turnips, my sister brought appetizers, my step-mom brought rolls and scalloped potatoes, and my other sister made a bunny cake and a lemon tart. We even broke out my great-grandmother's 1909 silver, which would have made my mom happy. We all stuffed ourselves and everyone seemed to get along (my ILs and my family are very different). My MIL was a massive help cleaning up, which is my least-favorite part of hosting holiday dinners. They left this morning and I think they had a good time.
After my FET got cancelled, I decided to take tomorrow off from work. I had planned on taking a day off this week for the FET anyway, I didn't have much going on at work on Tuesday, and it's my wife day off. I thought we could use some time alone together after hosting family all weekend. I am SO looking forward to tomorrow, weekend take 2! We're going to sleep in and maybe go to see Admission. It's $6 Tuesdays at our local movie theater.
