Happy Easter folks .. It was a good day.. Like all holidays..there’s a streak of sadness for missing Sam.. We lit Sam’s lantern.. then got right into the candy..

As we did.. I read one of my favorite stories about Easter out loud to the kids.. It’s called The Rabbit of Easter by David Sedaris.. a bit sacrilegious.. but that’s why I like it..

The bunny.. or the bell.. depends on your tradition according to sedaris.. left stuff for gabe, ian and matt.. .. a basket.. and a bunch of eggs..

The hunt was wild and fast.. soon all the eggs were collected.

There were a few surprises.. in addition to the normal candy.. that waskaly wabbit had also thrown in some broccoli.  (now who would have done something like that ? )

also a few nuts and bolts..

and even some dog food for the girls..

Afterwards,ian made us a delicious spanish omlette which we ate outside it was in the 50’s finally..   I think it might even have hit 60 today !.

we took advantage of the warmish weather to clan the yard. The boys brought down a large limb that was shading  one of Diane’s gardens..

and we got rid oa ton of scrap wood by hauling and burning.. Some however got morphed into a new goalie for Gabe’s practice net..

nice, nice day..

time for bed.. happy easter folks, happy easter sam
