Happy Easter

A few days before Easter, we had a blast decorating eggs - I wished we would have bought more eggs, even I enjoyed decorating.

Magnificent job they did, eh?

Camden was a saint while we decorated.

The bunny came Saturday morning

The boys were hacking up lungs so we didn't get to go to church, but we still tried for a nice Easter dinner.

My first time ever to make a ham, and it turned out mighty delicious with the brown sugar-pineapple glaze. And my first attempt at homemade rolls were delicious, but flat - my mom's recipe - I'll try harder next time mom.

67 cents!!

That's right folks - I just paid 67 cents for this stuff!!

Don't believe me? Here's my receipt!
I've been couponing for a while now, but this is by far my biggest percentage 96% savings!
WHOOOHOOO!!

I played a joke on you

When I was growing up, I remember trying really hard to come up with really great practical jokes, and rarely did I come up with anything at all. My family really got into it and I remember having syran wrap put over the toilet, so when you went to the bathroom it splattered everywhere, there was fake dog poop, whoopi cushions and pretend spiders, and no matter what went on that day, I always forgot as I climbed into bed - I would always get short-sheeted. I tried some of these things when I got married, and Dave wasn't exactly thrilled or even thought they were funny, so I did nothing for 9 years. Well, this morning, I decided it was time for our boys to learn about April Fools Day.

Dekan woke up early and came into our room, I said, "Good morning! Wanna have cupcakes for breakfast?" Boy was he excited. "April Fools!" I said and boy was he disappointed!

The first thing I said to Chandler was, "There's a dog behind you! April Fools!" It scared him, not very funny.

When Dave got ready for work, I said, "Dekan's school just called, there's a gas leak and you don't have to take him to school today." "Really?" "April Fools!"

For breakfast, I turned the milk pink - the boys thought it was fun, but Dave thought it was gross.
Dekan took his glasses out of their case and they were covered with paper.

I made a delicious dinner for everyone called, "Everyone's favorite soup"

This was their reaction, then I said, "April Fools, let's go to pizza."

We went to Rosati's and it was very good - much happier boys. The boys got into all day long saying the silliest things and then April Fools. My favorite for Chandler, was, "mom, your eye just fell out and is rolling on the floor." My favorite for Dekan was, "dad, I found a poisonous snake today"

And to all my family - I hope you read the blog - I know I emailed all of you and said I'm pregnant again, (I've received congratulation and condolence emails already) but "April Fools!"
