Of Easter
A. was cancelled from work Sunday so we all were able to go to Easter mass as a family and then we went to the outdoor track/park, J. ran about half a mile with me and then she went with A. and N. to play on the swings and slides. I ran three miles.
Then we drove home and had easter brunch, the girls ahd an easter egg hunt saturday at church and then we got the easter baskets blessed, the priest blesses the meats, the bread and then the eggs, it is a Polish tradition.
A. and N. had fevers so we managed to persuade J. to have a nap and we all napped from about 1:30-5. Then after dinner I tried to take N&J to an indoor play area, we drove to the one at Randhurst Mall and it was closed and so was the one at Golf Mill. We kept noticing McDonalds was one of the only things open anywhere. I remembered reading once that Tower Records is open every day of the year so we drove there past the Woodfield Mall. Picked up the most recent Bon Jovi cd for A. as she never got it for Christmas and we thought it would cheer her up.
After bed and story time, I ran 5 miles on the treadmill. Unfortunatley I ran 4.75 miles before walking and my feet are of course killing me today. I am happy I got the 8 miles in though on Sunday.
And besides the girls feeling feverish the only other tough thing was I got sunburnt Saturday. It was so nice out that I sat on the back deck for about two hours with J., who played a lot and stayed in the shade. I was not so prudent! We opened windows and played cds and had fun. N. stayed inside a lot covered in blankets on the couch, she recovered later though.
I need to return stuff at the library today, tomorrow is the last ice skating (rink is closing until mid June), and Wednesday is my next long run.
It was a good Easter even though family is sick, it was nice to finally have a day all together. And it was very obvious how happy the twins were about this.
