This was Garrett's big "Gaming Weekend." A bunch of guys hung out at the church all last night and all today playing board games (like Settlers of Catan, Aquire, etc.). Us "Widows of Catan" made them breakfast this morning. We also went back to make lunch and supper.
It couldn't have been a worse weekend to go without a husband. Ryan and Leigha were at the doctor on Friday. Leigha came home with a double ear infection diagnosis and amoxicillan twice a day. Ryan came home with an ear infection diagnosis, antibiotic twice a day and nebulizer treatments every 4 hours around the clock. Yes, every 4-hours! It was a long night!
But, Garrett was very appreciative. I had volunteered to take them breakfast - it was my idea. Just a way to help out. He made sure to tell me how much it meant to him. I didn't bring up the fact that cooking there was easier than cooking here - fewer dishes & much less clean-up. :)
We sat down after we got home to watch last night's episode of Numb3rs. He was out before the first commercial break! :) I knew he would be!

Easter
We headed to Iowa for Easter last weekend. It was good to see family. I took Friday off so we could get an early start. We got into CR a little after noon. We spent Friday night and Saturday with Garrett's family. We snuck away on Friday night for a "date night." We went to see Fast & Furious (is it #4?), hit Wal-Mart for Easter gifts, and then hung out a Perkins.
Saturday we visited Grandpa & Grandma McGinty and then headed over to Garrett's aunt & uncle's house for lunch. I didn't get to stay long. Andi fell out of their tree and sprained her ankle. I got to spend most of my Saturday afternoon in the Anamosa hospital. There were no broken bones and she is doing fine now, but we came home from the hospital in a splint and crutches.
Satrday night we went up to Grandma Betty's. We went to church with her on Sunday and came home to have the traditional Easter ham. The kids got to hunt Easter eggs (that they have been waiting for since Thanksgiving!!). After the hunt, Ryan loaded all the eggs into Grandma's mini-wagon and pulled them all over the house.
While at Gram's we found out that one of my bible study girls had passed away Easter morning. They discovered a blood clot in her lung, which had caused her to stop breathing. She was only 26 - it's been incredibly difficult. Her funeral is today and all of the bible study girls are getting together tonight.
So, that has meant a short work week for me - and a lot of chaos. I hope to have some pictures from Easter soon. Our home computer is too slow to load them without me beating it. :)
