First of all, we had a wonderful Easter.  The kids hunted for Easter Eggs, and Ashton was pleased beyond words that he got bubbles.  He carried that damn bottle around for an hour saying bubbles a million times.  The kids had candy for breakfast - which is always fun.  Ashton kept going out the back door with chocolate in his mouth and coming inside with a peanut in his mouth - which was driving me insane, since we did not have any peanuts in the house.  After the fourth time he did this - Todd and I started flipping out.  I said “What the hell is he doing, going out back and trading a damn squirrel for some chocolate?”  Well it turns out that

I bought

the Easter Bunny brought Hershey Kisses w/ Almonds, instead of the regular ones - DUH!  I am going to have to have a talk with that bunny!

I also thought I would share some pics from last week (pics courtesy of Delane).  My buddy Delane came in town with his wonderful family and met us (me, Dena and the kids) at “The Purple Cow” (home of the famous purple milkshake) for some dinner and dessert.  The kids had a blast and I was so happy to meet them finally!  Delane and his wife have been blog buddies of mine for a while now.  They live in Mayberry - YES, the actual Mayberry.  Well, when they were on there way out of town, they dropped off a present for Dena and I on my front porch - some very cute T-Shirts, aren’t they awesome?

Todd was jealous - he can’t wear it, cause it’s too small!
