Easter

We had a lovely Easter weekend. Friday night we dyed eggs. I have decided this ritual is overrated. There isn't anything easy about it, nothing ever works like it supposed to, and you certainly don't end up with the fabulous masterpieces that you see on the box. The boys get frustrated because the paint runs, the stickers don't stick, and the pressure of having to push hard on the wax crayon to get it to work causes the eggs to crush in their hands. It's quite annoying, but we suffer through the process every.single.year. It is my mission in life to figure out a better way..... Easter morning the kids awoke and followed the trail of candy (this year it was Hershey kisses) to their baskets. Then they went on a hunt. I write clues in plastic eggs and place them around the house and they hunt together to find their present from mom and dad (a hit away baseball contraption). They had a good time hunting. We ate lunch at my mom and dad's and Mike's mom and Dave joined us, along with nephew Jake. GREAT meal! Here is a picture of me and my sisters, Lisa and Carrie. Before the meal, we had our first ever egg hunt. It has always been too cold to hunt eggs on Easter. This year it wasn't too bad out. We are gearing up for soccer beginning in the Budach household for both boys. We apologize in advance for the horrible, cold, and rainy weather that will undoubtedly start here in southern MN. Mother Nature finds great humor in making me sit outside in below zero temperatures with record setting winds blowing in my face for hours. Have a great week!
