Oh, it's one of those....

Wanna know what kind of a week it's been already?

Tonight I had cookies for dinner.

At 11:20 pm.

Spring Broke

We just had our "Spring Break." It was 6 extra days of having my beloved wild animals home from the blessed structure of school. They missed their friends, I missed the silence. They got sick of each other on the first day. By the 2nd day I was frantically setting up as many playdates as I could put together from the small group of friends that were still in town. Somehow I managed to keep them from bodily harming each other for the full 10 days of family togetherness. I think my ears are still ringing from the screeching and howling.

To this happy Spring mix we added a teenager who has come to live with us. Shake gently.

Nearly a week and a half later I seem to have caught my breath enough to have a thought other than, "aaaargggghhhh!"

What, you ask, did I do with my first break in two weeks?

I went back to bed.

Hoppy Easter!

I love Easter.

I love the bright colors after a dull winter.

I love the food:

chocolate bunnies, Reece's peanut butter eggs, jelly beans,

little smokies for breakfast, and ham and funeral potatoes for dinner.

I love dyeing Easter eggs.

I usually spend more time messing around with the pots of color

and a white crayon than my kids do.

This year sort of crept up on me, though. Took me by surprise almost.

The Easter Bunny still found us.

Thank goodness, I've been craving a good peanut butter egg...
