Easter Basket-Cases

The three amigos just wanted to say 'Happy Easter', although a day belated. We can't really put into words how grateful we are for the reason we celebrate this holiday. (No, this time I'm actually not talking about chocolate. Although there was plenty of that.) 

We hope your day was as great as ours was, although I hope you didn't drink the egg-dying vinegar like Tirzah, or inform your neighborhood friends  that there is no such thing as an Easter Bunny like Merrick did. Some things you just don't wish on people. ;)

3 (Almost) April Fools

Here's a little wide-angle full of weird for your Thursday. I love the occasional lazy morning, while few and far between, where Billy is off and we just get to hang out, or climb in some people's cases, around the house.

Some people obviously aren't so appreciative of my photography...but that's something I've developed a thick skin to. Suck it up J-Hawk...;)

Groundhog Stew.

Just when you think it's "Spring"...this happens. Which shows, obviously, groundhogs cannot be trusted as predictors of weather. I mean, who came up with that anyway? I feel like it would be more intelligent to ask one of my kids when Spring starts. They wouldn't know, I'm sure, but at least they aren't a rodent pretending to be a weatherman. Spring is being such a tease this year. Get a grip, Spring.

It does make for some good wrestling weather, though. Also, if you look closely, you'll notice I actually caught our adorably lazy nearly-15-month-old standing up. Finally. I was beginning to think I'd be carrying him down the aisle at his wedding. ;)

Brunch with Munchkins

Typically around here we hit the ground running. Everyone wakes up screaming and yelling (in a good way...mostly) and running. I can always tell when the kids are awake by the house-shaking thumps I hear coming from downstairs. I like to wake up slowly, but this will not be an option for me for about, oh...18 years. *sob*

Typically part two, Billy never is off. And when he is? It's Sunday and how did it get to be Sunday again and we are already late for church OHMUHGOSH. Today he was "off" until he had to work (makes sense...to no one. Especially tired CFA widow) from 5pm - close. We had a Cracker Barrel gift card that led to: I'm not cooking breakfast or lunch so lets have brunch with the munchkins and kill two meals with one gift card. It was pretty nice. Other than Jericho eating all my pancakes and pretty much the table, and Merrick knocking over something filled with water in the gift shop area and soaking himself and the surrounding counties. At least whatever he knocked over was plastic. I don't think the gift card had gift shop incident coverage.

Long Time Coming

Happy first day of Spring, everyone! I've been waiting to say those words since the first day of Fall, I think. ;) We enjoyed a fancy meal of McD's on the porch yesterday in honor of the fabulous weather. I do hear rumors of more bad weather coming, but at least we had 65 degrees and sunny to hold us over for a bit should that be the case. Happy Spring!
