Eggs and Balls and Buses

Interesting title, right?

We survived Spring Break and Easter weekend without any complications. Not that I was expecting any, but you never really know, now do you?

Friday night we watched the Blind Side. Maddie wasn't interested, which I kind of figured she wouldn't be. She watched Monsters, Inc. in the other room by herself. Saturday we had Easter at Mam's house. She has a ton of pictures. I don't have any of course because my camera bit the dust. Or should I say, bit the floor of the Key Arena.

Sunday morning was an early one - I had been able to split my hours to accommodate Easter this year. I got up at 5:30 thinking that I was going to give the big bunny a hand with the hiding of eggs. Only there were two problems - one was that it was a lot earlier than I expected and the second was that it was a lot darker than I had expected. I started work at 6:00 and then when the sun made it's appearance I snuck outside.

The kids did their egg hunt a little later and were happy with their baskets. I got off at 10:00 and we went to Joel's parents for another egg hunt and lunch. After that we came back home and I worked from 1:00 to 5:00 and then we went to dinner at my Dad's house. They had a present for the kids and my dad gave them a hint the other day. He said "it's huge." Guess what Dylan thought it was??? A BUS!! Are you freaking kidding me???

Anyway, it was a pool. 15 foot round pool that is 3.5 deep. It comes with a solar cover and a ladder and a filter and a net and all sorts of other gadgets. The intention is to set it up in the beginning of summer and leave it up all summer with the hopes that we'll have enough sun to allow them to play in it a lot. Hopefully we have a summer like last year!

Today is the start of baseball season!! Dylan has his first game tonight. He's still has his cold. He went from horrible sore throat to runny nose to a wicked cough. This is honestly the longest I've ever seen him sick. Even when he had the swine flu it seemed like a day or 2 maybe that he was truly sick. Poor guy, I hope he gets better soon, he's got some balls to hit.
