HAPPY EASTER

Happy Easter
Does it sound weird to anyone else to say "Happy Easter"? I mean the reason for Easter is definitely happy, but it sounds kinda weird...just a thought.


Yea we're kinda weird! We spent Easter Sunday at the Andrew 'rents. We celebrated Easter and Dad's birthday (pics to be posted on his actual birthday - Thursday). After dinner (and about 147 lbs of Cadbury mini eggs) we played with the toys the Easter Bunny brought Kace, Clayton and I. Kace got this bubble thingy...

Even Tydon gave it a try.
Growing up in the Andrew House the Easter Bunny always hid EVERYTHING, eggs, baskets, etc. Since we've been married Clayton and I really haven't made baskets for each other (I just make him go buy me an Easter outfit and call it good:). This year I decided to make us a cheap, little basket. Every Sunday Clayton throws his church shirt into the dryer, so I thought that would be an excellent place to hide the basket. How was I supposed to know that he would ruin my fun and decide that this would be the ONE Sunday when he wouldn't throw his shirt in the dryer. I had to beg him to go check. You are no fun Clayton...NO FUN!!! Anyway the Easter bunny brought us some kites. Woohoo! $2.88 Walmart kites, baby!!! There really wasn't much wind, ok there was NO wind on Sunday, so we had to improvise.

We pulled out the 4-wheelers and drove out to the field. See my cheesy sister Kami on the Left? Someone needs to give her a lesson on kite flying. She was the one who drove Clayton around why he was flying his kite on the back of the 4-wheeler. Apparently, she hasn't heard that you aren't supposed to fly kites next to power lines (just kidding...geez Kami don't get mad:)! She drove right by one and his kite got stuck. Luckily nothing happened to any of them, but the electricity from the power line did break the kite string. Thankfully, Clayton is an Eagle Scout and has his knot tying merritt badge. After a good square knot the kite was good to go.



Ready, Set, GO...

One Spiderman Kite + one My Little Pony kite = one killer Easter Sunday.

First, The reason we "kind of" got close to the power lines was because clayton was yelling at me to dodge the bumps. Second, Clayton has bad kite stearing skills... we were still a ways from the power lines........
