An Easter recap...

Okay....we are way past hunting eggs at our house, so....i'd like to share just how we spent Easter.

First i wake up early and begin chopping chicken and celery to make homemade chicken salad sandwiches on hawaiian bread, with a little lettuce. Danny wakes up and becomes my taste tester. Add this, needs, that, etc. Finally it tastes like what i intended. Next, he proceeds to ask me if we are taking drinks or anything else. I asked him if we were packing for just us or for buffett as usual. He seems completely aggitated at me for asking...well, i didnt plan it, nor did i talk to anyone, so i begin to think i have screwed up. So.....i dig oit chips, plates, napkins, trash bags and make a fresh fruit salad. We need to leave by noon to make it by 1:30pm, so at 12:15 i get "the look" and we fling everything in Chelsey's car and head out. On the way, the kids want a snack and drink, so we stop in McKinney and hit the road again. We get there 15 minutes late, according to Mr Fenter. Oh well, we made it and everyone was already kicked back in chairs. Of course, i had to pee...so, i trapse to the woods and back. Everyone is eatting, talking and watching the fishing being done by Jeannine's precious grandkids. Karley (or is it Kharley?) caught a few. Kentlee and Klye were the most entertainment that i have seen in a while. Kyke had a pet worm named John, i think. He dug in the worm dirt for quite a while. After a bit, a turtle was caught. The boys were ALL eyes and beyond hysterically funny to all the adults sitting around. He touched the turtle too. Next was the egg hunt. Somehow i missed it, but they all came back with baskets and buckets full. Kyle decided he needed a drink, so he went after some tea and stuck his finger in the glass to taste it.....remember the worms? We all burst out laughing when he did it. He also wound up with chocolate on his forehead, which Jeannine said looked like poop, so she wiped him down. The next 30 minutes or so were spent breaking conffetti eggs on everyone. Thiose boys were better than any tv show to watch. So dang cute!

Danny says "time to go" so we head to Megan's to give Hayden his bug watch. I am sure she appreciated that we woke him up only to try and get him to talk and play......then we piled back into the car to head home. We go thru Tawakoni, since it has been forever that i drove that way. Nothing has changed....seemed a little more run down.

Colby wants McDonald's as we go thru Quinlan....Danny does not, so we agree on eatting in Greenville, at Shamari's. We get there, order and we wait and wait and wait....finally Danny asks the waiter "what's up buddy" and the guy says "they forgot to butterfky her filet" so they are cooking a new one. Again, a Danny glare, as if it was all my fault that the cooks goofed up my steak Chelsey is not happy that we stopped, so she's "not eatting". We scarf down our food and head towards home.

Upon arriving home, Dallas arrives.....now i get why Chelsey is pissed that we stopped to eat. We all strip to comfy clothes and watch tv. Danny and i do dishes just prior to going to bed for the night. I do not wash in the same order he prefers, so again "the look".

Then, before 10pm, we are all in bed....because it is discovered that we are out of Cheer, and no one can wash clothes. I am sure that was my fault as well......Hope everyone had a great Easter. Carla your pictures look so peaceful....next year i'll pick up Jeannine and the boys and come to you house. Paul and Klye can name the worms!

Love to all,
Pam

  1. I agree it didn't have the same feel as years in the past. I had a wonderful time and can only hope my grandkids will remember more than the worms names. Love you Pam and miss you lots.
