Friday was a little, well, strange. Lara woke up not feeling well, pushed through 1st hour, then came home for the rest of the day. She was sad. Sad to not feel good, sad to get behind in class, and SUPER SAD to be missing baseball. But, she had to rest and get well! Emma's school was out for Good Friday, so she came to Stillwater early in the evening. Lara felt better after some meds and some rest, and we spent Friday evening as a family. Nothing planned, nothing exciting (Chick-fil-A for dinner!), just T I ME together. It was over due and well worth it.
Saturday, we were up and at 'em for some Jake Weaver basketball at Solid Rock in Edmond. He had 2 games - one at noon and one later in the afternoon. The plan was to go to his games, then high-tail it back to Stillwater to make it to the Easter service at Life.Church at 5:30. He won both games, we drove responsibly, and we made it to church basically on time!

Weaver Family Easter 2018
Jake, 11 - Emma, 15 - Finn, 6 - Lara, 15
Sunday, we spent most of the day in Perkins at Nana and Grandpa's house. We has a taco and baked potato bar for lunch with all the fixings! Everyone LOVED it! One of the most memorable moments at lunch was when grandpa looked up and saw cobwebs on the chandelier in their dining room. This was instantly hilarious - and CLASSIC! Jake, Emma and I made up a new country song called "Cobwebs on My Chandelier!" Good Times!
We also took time to re-create a 2013 family photo! This was our March of Dimes March for Babies Ambassador Family photo from the fall of 2013. In the original, Finn was about 14 months old, Jake was 6 and Emma & Lara were 11. In the re-creation, we are weeks from the girls' 16th birthday, Jake is 11, and Finn is 6. (We need to do it again in 5 more years!)

We also had our annual Weaver Egg Challenge. The kids all pick an egg from the carton without knowing if it is raw or hard boiled. The poor soul that has a raw egg smashed on their forehead gets the PRIZE of winning a LARGE chocolate Easter bunny! This was the first Year Finn participated. I don't think he liked it too much! (And we are pretty sure this was the third year Lara has "won!")
All in all, it was a nice way to spend Easter. Emma had to get back to Orlando in the middle of the afternoon because her dad fell last week and separated his shoulder, so he has to have surgery tomorrow. To prepare for being off from work about 3 months, he had to go to Wichita to tie up loose ends. And she had to drive him! So, while we missed her the rest of the day, she was where she needed to be. The rest of us headed back to Stillwater after some relaxing time with Nana and Grandpa, and spent the rest of the day looking for news about the pending state teacher walk-out... Stay tuned!
