Break Out the Fire Pit

Tonight after dinner Andy wanted to use the Fire Pit to make S’mores. the fire pit had not been lit since before the winter and the flames were quite low. I think there was a bunch of water inside that needed to burn off or maybe the gas was low. Either way it did not appear to be working that well. I probably should have covered that instead of the table and chairs all Winter. I’m sure it will get plenty more use this year.

We came home from the Cape today. I took Eva with me and Andy rode with Allison. I downloaded the audio book of Ready Player One and started it as soon as we got in the car. Eva and I listened to it on the ride home and when we got to our exit we’d finished the prologue and the first chapter. She asked if this was my plan now to get her to like things. Trap her in a place she could not escape and just make her listen. She really liked the start of the book as I expected she would. I hope that she continues on and listens to the rest of it.

Today was Easter and we started out with an Easter Egg hunt at Mem and Grandfathers with the kids and the cousins. Last night Andy caught us filling the Easter Eggs. He seemed okay about it even shouting that he knew it. However, when he went upstairs he was sobbing about it. Tara and I both comforted him and he eventually got to sleep. He didn’t say anything more about it today when he was tearing around the house looking for eggs. The kids had a nice egg hunt and then we had breakfast. We went to 11 am Mass over at Saint Anthony’s and then came home and had a nice lunch.

We relaxed for the afternoon and then watched Better Nate than Ever for a movie tonight. Andy really enjoyed that movie and it was cute. I had only gotten to see half of it one night with him and he told me later that he really enjoyed it. I think my parents also enjoyed it. Andy has a good taste in movies overall.
