preparing easter feast

Shane helped me make roasted potatoes with garlic and parsley.

yI made an Italian Easter pie. I actually messed up my dough last night so had to run to a market this morning and got lucky with finding a pre-made dough! Turned out not very pretty looking but pretty delicious nevertheless. 

Also made Texas Oven-Roasted beef brisket.

I told my family to get dressed nicely but I showed up in my sweatpants. Oops! I was busy cooking in the kitchen and didn’t have time to change. Oh well, at least I look decent from the waist up. lol.

We are having a fun movie night tonight. Watching a Back to the Future. Classic. Kids got hungry during the movie, so I made them pb&J sandwiches. Andrew showed them how to properly eat them by dunking it in the cold refreshing milk.

bread delivery

It’s been difficult getting enough food regularly from grocery stores as we continue to quarantine. So I ordered bread from Hudson bread online and they delivered it today.  I’ve never been so happy to see so much carbs!

family devotion

Friday, April 10th, 2020

Besides eating these days, what we’ve been really focusing on is family devotion time before bed. We used to skip often or rush through it before when we had normal schedules, but now that we have much free time, kids and I have been trying to spend more time praying and reading scriptures together. They also started reading Bible on their own when they first wake up in the morning. Not everyday and they need constant reminder to do so,  but it’s a start and I’m thankful for these special times. Hopefully we’ll continue faithfully when we get out of the quarantine…
