Who Knew the Easter Bunny Was Such a Messy Guy?

Check out these cuties!
And these beauties!


And this mess!


What a mess! That bunny - he found some cascarones! In other words, he brought us confetti filled eggs that had LOTS of sparkly confetti inside! I have to admit, I was a bit shocked at the mess we encountered but I was pretty excited to see those eggs! When I was a young un, we used to have confetti egg fights with our neighbors. They started it! One Easter morning many years ago, we received a visit from the family next door. Not suspecting a thing we invited them in - whoa! They started throwing eggs at us! Those eggs had been emptied of yolk and filled with torn paper bits. The shock was soon replaced by screams of fun and a tradition was started.

It was fun to bring a little of my traditions from long ago to my kids. They sure enjoyed making the mess! The Easter bunny was good to the whole family. We all received hydration packs for skiing and hiking. The kids have already tried theirs out with a trek through the dessert with Nana and Papa. Dylan and Lyndsi also found some new pets in their easter baskets this year. Yep, more creatures in the house! This time in the form of sea monkeys! We're purifying their water tonight and should see some little guys floating in it in the next week or so!

My parents came over for Easter and also to watch Dylan wrestle. Their visit was fun and I think we all enjoyed the weekend. They are leaving on Thursday for their trip to Albuquerque. They'll be gone for a month so I'm glad they were able to get here.

Dylan claimed that he is not wrestling next year! He had a rough tournament yesterday - anxieties got in the way of successful matches and he just couldn't seem to pull out of his misery. It was hard to see him so upset - no picutres this week!

One more week until spring break - whew!
