Easter and the NCAA

Hi! Long time no post. There's lots of stuff to catch up on, but we'll start with the most recent: Easter. Meyer & Co headed down to Waha for Easter this year, where we were informed that the Easter Bunny would be making a scheduled stop. We were a little worried he'd get lost in the snow, but thankfully the Easter Bunny is part snowshoe hare and was able to put in an appearance.

We did a little last minute Easter shopping on Saturday in Lewiston, then hurried home to watch the NCAA final four games while we dyed Easter eggs. This turned out to be a bit of a mistake, as Anna seemed inspired to "slam dunk" the eggs into the dye cups...miraculously, they all made it to the next day...only to be slam dunked into her Easter basket. Too bad for the game of basketball that she's petite (read that "short")...the kid's got a wicked arm on her.

Needless to say, we had lots of fun hunting eggs ("we" being Eagle-Eye-Anna and her helpful assistants) and Grammy Nana made a wonderful Easter dinner, which the rest of us were happy to consume.


I, for one, was very happy to eat it after spending the night before trying to throw up my toes (Tim was less than amused at 1 AM when I commented how appropriate it was that my dinner was "risen again" on Easter Day :P). Not sure what made me sick, but at this point we're blaming a rather old and questionable gum ball I decided to chew (and swallow, because I always swallow my gum) which didn't agree with whatever else it met in my stomach. Don't ask me why I ate it. Believe me, I asked myself that at least a few hundred times that night and never got a satisfactory answer.

All gum balls aside, we had a great time and came back home with lots fun memories and the remaining (amazingly resilient) Easter eggs that made it through the final four. We look forward to finishing them off for the championship. ;o)
