[mickeymo]

Back to washing the floors - dh cooked all day yesterday, the floors desperately need it...

 

[3princessMommy]

You guys are great! I've got to run to take the girls to ride bikes at the school and go for my mile walk. (I ate way too many Easter treats today!)

I guess they were plastic eggs - they dropped about 30,000 and after all of that - her daughter didn't get any...

I love this!! I wish I could have played along. What a fun idea. Did you take any pictures? I wish they had egg hunts for older kids like me.

Joann #2/Captain Hoppy.... Glad your Easter Day at your home went well. It sounded like a wonderful time together with good friends.

My DD, Alli, and I just made a ton of sugar cookies. One of her friends gave up cookies for lent and couldn't eat the gingerbread cookies I made for a soccer tournament. I felt so sad for her so I told her I'd made her cookies after Easter. Well, she didn't forget my offer and asked Alli if we could make sugar cookies. We make them thin like chips. You can eat them like chips too. We made so many that we have a few containers for other friends and family too. The house smells more like Christmas than Easter. Getting ready to go out to dinner.

Congrats to Captain Hoppy!

We escaped all the Easter hoopla by heading to Washington....BIG mistake, BIG, BIG mistake. So crowded, rained on us all day Saturday, had to wait outside in the rain just to get INTO the museums, today it was freezing cold.
Needless to say we didn't see too much. Escaped back to our hotel Saturday night and watched TV (Tyler had his own TV, so it was a relaxing night). Got in big-time traffic coming home today. Glad to be home.

my one and ONLY favorite Easter candy: black jelly beans....LOVE them.

Easter dinner? we picked up Chinese food on the way home....perfect dinner.

It was a loooonnnngggg day and I'm wiped. Easter dinner was a success. I did 2 half hams and we probably could have done with 1 but 3 people I thought were coming didn't. Oh well, we have plenty for ham sandwiches. Unfortunately the time I was supposed to turn the oven on for the potatoes was the same time some people arrived (early) so I forgot. The potatoes were about 20 minutes late getting started. They were el dente. The kids enjoyed the silly string fight, my 16 yr old niece got the brunt of it though. Her back was covered.

I did just call to make some ADR's! I could only book to the 14th because we are splitting our stay. She wouldn't let me book for the 2nd resort. She was trying hard to be helpful but not quite hitting the mark. DH needs to call tomorrow to book his golf. It's all so exciting.

I'll send you our address for some leftover ham for my DH
Poor guy, loves ham, but the kids and I don't like it at all, so he never gets ham unless in a sandwich.....weird I am, I'm a PA Dutch girl that doesn't eat ham! But I won't EVER, EVER turn down a Mickey bar! (saw an ice cream cart in Washington and they weren't selling ANY Mickey bars!
(or Mickey waffles at the hotel!)

[Ramule]

My DS will be so jealous of the fishing trip. He has done it twice and loved it. He'd go again but I don't want to go on an excursion and leave his sister alone. I think he has to be 18 to go alone. The last time he went I stopped counting after he caught 12 fish including a 3ft. barracuda (which the Captain kept for dinner). It was my first time to fish and the first thing I hooked was a shark. The captain asked if I wanted to reel it in. I said no thanks but my DS gave it a try but the shark bit off the line. It was an exciting couple of minutes.


Lucy.............sorry that your trip to DC was not the best. The weather has been crazy here in Maryland. I'm surprised the lines were so long to go to the museums. If you ever get the chance you should go to the Newseum that opened last year. My family has gone twice- once on a school field trip and then just with friends. The second time they went, they stayed about 8 hours.

We'll leave DD#3 with DH and you take DD#1 and I'll take DD#2.

OOHHH! I need to ask DH about our ADRs. We are going to take the girls to Cinderella's Royal Table - need to make sure those ressies are made!

You are so better than me! I can't even stand a 15-minute yellow sponge cartoon. You'd never see me at the movie!

I can't make our ressies for another week - what day (time?) did you make your Palo Brunch ressies for?
