Easter Day Play By Play

7:00 A.M. Daddy brings Mommy her first Easter chocolate. Mmmmmm…

8:03 A.M. Mommy snaps a few pics of the kids outside in the driveway while Daddy is still inserting his contacts and putting on his tie.

8:05 A.M. Mommy’s getting a little perturbed that Daddy still isn’t ready yet…

8:07 A.M. Sweet neighbor whispers across the driveway to Mommy that she will have egg hunt set up when we get back from church as Mommy loads ALL THREE kids in the car. Daddy……. where are you??

8:10 A.M. Daddy finally! gets in the car and we are on our way to church.

8:18 A.M. Arrive to church parking lot that is NOT very full (mass starts at 9). Daddy glares at Mommy a little for making everyone leave SO early…

8:18:25 A.M. Mommy and Daddy make executive decision to run by McDonald’s since it’s just down the road and they have had NO breakfast or coffee!

8:30ish A.M. Arrive back at church with happy tummies and still plenty of seats. Coffee too hot to drink though. 🙁

10:15 A.M. Get back in car after Mass – coffee is perfect temp.!

10:25 A.M. Pull back into driveway at home to find this:

The card reads inside: Love, The Easter Bunny. Egg Hunt next door!

10:28 A.M. Boys hunt for 2 dozen freshly died eggs in and around our neighbors front lawn. ONE was never found… uh oh.

10:30something A.M. Our neighbor takes this family picture.

10:45ish A.M. Mommy attempts to take pics of kiddos still donning their Easter attire in picturesque area next to the neighbors house but middle child is having nothing of it. As you can see here. Mommy cries “Uncle” and gives up.

Around 11:00 A.M. Daddy stages one more egg hunt for boys while baby and Mommy change clothes.

11:35ish A.M. Pile in the car again and head to Franklin, LA to have Easter lunch down on the Bayou with a friend and her family.

12:25 P.M. Arrive at house. Boys exit vehicle in a mad rush and bypass all humans to go see our friend’s dog, “Busta” (real name Buster but with the accent around here…)

1:15ish P.M. Enjoy a delicious lunch and dessert. Really, SO good!

1:45 P.M. Boys rabidly (and yes, I meant “raBid”) consume chocolate bunnies left by the Easter Bunny.

2:30ish P.M. Another Egg Hunt

SometimeInTheAfternoon Baby attemps to eat grass and various species of weeds while Mommy takes pictures.

4:30 P.M. Boys sack out on drive home.

6:00 P.M. Daddy makes “deviled” eggs out of some of the many eggs the boys found in the morning. Mommy consumes three (meaning six halves). Tasty.

8:15 P.M. All kids in bed and Mommy sits down for some computer time and a last piece of chocolate…

We had a fabulous Easter – hope you did too!
