Bulldogs at Railcats

We went to see the high school boys play at Gary Railcats last Sat. with Trent. We were wondering if it would end up raining, but they got their game in before the rain came.  IMG_9908IMG_9909IMG_9907    Ethan and I had fun sitting in various sections and he loved that he got to eat way too much junk. He had 2 hot dogs and popcorn & shared my diet coke. IMG_9910IMG_9911

He was playing velcro ball catch with this little girl for a little bit, too.

Easter Recap

Easter09 001

We didn’t color eggs until Saturday. E had a fever for 3 days, Fri-Mon. When I was getting everything ready for coloring eggs he was standing next to me shivering! Oh, knew he had a fever again. We kept giving him children’s tylenol and that brought it down. It was odd, he didnt have a cold and he wasnt complaining at all and didnt look tired.

Our eggs weren’t too amazing since we forgot the vinegar again. When using just water with the tablets the yellow and orange are pointless, they just do not dye the egg. Easter09 006

Need to remember the vinegar for next year!

Ethan woke me up at like 6:15 on Easter Sunday asking if he could look for eggs. This year the Easter bunny left him a note saying he hid 21 eggs around our house.

Eggs are always left inside our house, it is still cold at Easter where we live.  He had fun and found all the eggs.Easter09 010 

E with his basket of goodies.

We went to church, the first service as normal.

Then we went to T’s parents around 1:30pm. There was an egg hunt outside at their house this year and the bunny left him 21 eggs there, too! (funny!)

We went to my parent’s house at 4:30. I brought various types of rolls and the little nests. Their egg hunt was inside and E looked for 10 yellow eggs, the cousins had their own colors. This always works out nicely.

On Monday I went to Target to see if they had any Easter decor half off, but I went to late and nothing worthwhile was left. I just got T some Cadbury eggs. We have sooo much candy now in our house. Not good for my diet!

Happy Easter

Getting ready for Easter at our house. I took Fri and Mon off of work.

Today I bought 2 dozen eggs and boiled 1 dozen. We will color them tomorrow. I want to make these neat choc nests chocolate-nests_slideshow_image

and add in peanut m&ms as eggs. Hopefully it will be fun to make with E.

We have 2 Easter dinners to attend. This year we will go to T’s parents first at 2pm then my parents around 4:30pm. I am making these choc. chop cheesecake bars for first dinner then I’m just bringing 3 types of rolls & the nests for the 2nd.

Touches of spring and Easter around our house..

  Picture 012

These faux chocolate bunnies are my new fave. I found the smaller one last year at the Dollar Tree and the larger one this year at Joann’s half off.

Hoping for Spring to come our way!! It actually snowed last Sunday here…in April. My poor tulips. I made a comment about them to E the other day and he told me I should have covered them. How does he know I should have done that? That kid, huh. It should be in the 50s this weekend.

Poor Ethan was running a fever today. We were playing MarioKart, my new fav wii game, and he said he wanted to rest a little and his head hurt. He is always really honest when he doesnt feel right. I took his temp and it was 99.8. I got him a cold wash cloth for his head, my thing he actually likes now. He never really fell asleep. An hour or 2 later we went upstairs and I was on laptop and he fell asleep for around an hr. When he woke up he still seemed out of it, but I thought he just wanted to sleep more. He was just too quiet and just laying around watching tv, so I took his temp again. It was 102.9! Wow, yeah. I got the children’s tylenol and some oj for him super fast! This all happened right when T was coming home for the day.

I took his temp before 9pm as he went to bed and it was at 99.1. Hopefully he feels better tomorrow.

Funny thing

Funny thing just happened that I wanted to remember.

E was just dancing around and T was in the kitchen.

T yells "Are you shakin' your moneymaker?"
Ethan: "What is a moneymaker?"
Ethan: Is it a bank?
we laugh
Ethan: Is it my butt? Is it my bootie?

So cute, had to journal it.
