Easter

We took Colby to the airport for the last time today. This is officially his last week in Ohio. HOORAY!! He'll load up his rental car and drive home all the stuff from his sweet bachelor pad for a Saturday arrival home. We can't wait to have him back so he can start on all the yard work and house painting!!

We had a nice Easter weekend. The kids got lots of candy, of course. They also received their traditional chocolate bunnies. When Colby was little he and his siblings always got a chocolate bunny. He insists that the Easter Bunny brings them to our little ones, too. We dyed eggs at my dad's and hunted eggs there, too. It was cold and windy so we had to resort to an indoor egg hunt. I don't think anyone cared as long as they got to eat five pounds of candy at the end. I think Dade ate about half of a pumpkin pie. Evelyn ate so much candy I thought she was to the point where she wouldn't even ask for another piece. I was wrong, of course, and underestimated her ability to consume mass quantities of taffy and chocolate.

Colby played Hi Ho Cherry-O and Battleship with the kids. The boys always team up against Colby in Battleship, but this weekend he really kicked their butts. Brody said he's "never playing Battleship again!"

The weather is gorgeous here finally, so the girls and I played outside and took the dogs for a walk. They were desperate to get out of the confines of the fence, and I think Evelyn needed a little exercise, too. We won't mention whether or not Mommy needed the exercise. . .
