Family, Food, Photo-A-Day

7 Years Timeline


Photo-A-Day #3650

Eva had to make a timeline for school. I picked up the poster board and printed out all the photos to go on it. After school today she and Allison laid out the photos in the timeline and added the captions and then Eva embellished it with a few drawings. I think it came out pretty nice.

Speaking of drawing. Eva is really getting into drawing. She did a ballerina that was amazing yesterday and tonight at dinner she drew a bowl of fruit and many other things. We went to the Boneyard for dinner for my birthday. I wanted their buffalo bacon wings. They were good. I think I prefer the ones at Natty Green’s though. I’ll have to go there soon.

Happy Easter 2015


Photo-A-Day #3649

Today was Easter. We celebrated at my parent’s house with my parents, Auntie Shelby, Uncle Time, Cousin Dylan and Cousin Kylie. We were even visited by the Easter Bunny. It was a nice day.

I got home from work and went right to my parent’s house to change. Allison and the kids were already there. Allison was already wrangling Andrew away from the living room because he was attempting to get in to look for eggs. No outdoor egg hunt this year because of the late snowfall and the very muddy yards. We got ready and went to 8am Mass. A good Mass to go to if you want to get a seat on Easter Sunday.

I think that Jimmy Fallon said it best when he said, “Thank you people who only go to church on Easter Sunday. You are the religious equivalent of flossing 10 minutes before visiting the dentist.”

After church we had a second mass that Eva gave. She read from her children’s bible stories book and sang a song. We were waiting for Dylan to wake up before letting the kids loose to search for eggs. Once he woke up the kids went and tore through the living room. There were a ton of eggs and the three kids (who are mobile) got to collecting. Eva cleaned up, because she’s the oldest and wasn’t taking the hint to slow it down and let the little guys get some eggs, but Andrew and Dylan did pretty well for themselves, too.

I got six Hot Wheels cars to put into the eggs this year. Maybe next year we color code the eggs so that each kid searches for their own set of colors. That way the disbursement of things like Hot Wheels is more fair. I’ve got to track down some larger eggs to hide more cars. Maybe I should label those ones with the kid’s names or something.

It was a very nice day and then we came home and I got to sleep for a while before dinner. This crazy schedule had me all over the place. Thank goodness I wasn’t going to work tonight.
