Happy Easter!

Monks woke up Sunday morning and I loved his little face when he walked in the living room and saw his goodies and baskets. The one wrapped in cellophane was from Tio and Tia Nett and it had candy and a little German shepherd dog in it. He calls it “dog”. We tried to make him see it is a dog like Apollo but that just confused him I think because he would go to the kitchen window and point and say Apollo and then point at his dog and say dog, like guys this is NOT Apollo. He also had his “goodie” bucket with markers, bendable bunnies, some Easter cars in eggs, a bunny on a skateboard, a bath book, bubbles, and a Hot Wheel. His Cars basket had eggs in it filled with Smoothie jelly beans and Sweet Tart jelly beans. Once he saw that Cars basket, he was so excited it was a car and he started grabbing the eggs out of it, although he calls them balls. His face lit up when he shook it and he had to find out what was in it! Nothing else mattered once he ate some jelly beans. Out of all his stuff, he just wanted to sit with a handful of jelly beans and eat them. And we let him. J



Eating celery with peanut butter while we cooked.




Hey guys, its too hard to dip celery in peanut butter, I will just scoop it up with my hand and eat it.




Tia Nett's basket put to good use.



Everyone came over after church to eat together. We had roast with carrots, Gigi’s potato salad, homemade mac and cheese, salad (although that went untouched lol) and all the leftovers from the night before which included burgers, chicken, bacon wrapped jalapenos, asparagus and dips. It was a great meal and then it was naptime! Everyone left and we all laid down. I woke up about 4 to a huge rainstorm and then I heard the scariest noise! It was hailing and it was unreal! I thought our windows would break. I don’t know how Monks and Devin slept. The hail varied in size from golf ball to nearly softball in some areas. So many people had broken windows and damage to their cars. We had about four different occurrences, each one worse than the one before over a couple of hours. Monks woke up about halfway through the storm and we watched it all out the front door. He kept repeating water, water and would tell Apollo to shhhh when he whined in his box in the kitchen. His eyes would get big as he watched the hail. Crazy weather for our Easter Sunday.
