Because I'm Mean, That's Why
AJ informed me that there is a really lucky kid at school that gets twenty dollar bills stuffed in his eggs. When I told AJ that that was not going to happen with the Easter Bunny that I know, he was kind of bummed. So to compensate, I found this one million dollar bill at CVS. I wrinkled it up to make it look more realistic. I was going to put it through the wash but I thought that was a bit excessive. This little baby is stuffed in an egg waiting to be found. Who is the lucky kid now?

Easter Celebration
I took the kids to the Easter celebration on Main Street this year. There was an Easter egg hunt, a petting zoo, sack races and cookie decorating. Poor Charlie got completely traumatized by the hunt. He got mowed down and didn't get any eggs. But the staff slipped some into his basket and he was a happy kid once again.
My favorite picture is the one of the chicken and the goat. Kids kept trying to get the chicken off, and she would not budge. One chicken even laid an egg while we were there.
The egg coloring went well. We tried a tye dye kit that was pretty cool. And the best part is that it actually worked. And I even remembered to buy white eggs this year. Go me. Of course I didn't remember that I had already remembered, and thus ended up with two cartons of white eggs, but oh well. Happy Easter!

Don't Mess With The Master . . .
As part of his birthday festivities, AJ had two friends spend the night this weekend. They are seriously two of the nicest boys. They are well behaved, polite and just generally nice kids.
The party went well and the kids had fun. They went to the Founders Day celebration, we made tacos and they stayed up way too late and watched inane movies. The next morning, after I pulled a June Cleaver and made everyone pancakes (from scratch) and eggs, AJ said he needed to talk to me. He whispered that the two other boys had snuck out, had taken AJ's Nerf guns and had an all-out war in the wee hours of the morning all through Verrado. Excuse my French, but my first thought was, "Oh, Sh**!"
Now we would have to call the other parents. Would they ever let their kids come over again? We were friends with these people. I go into Shawn's office and talk to him about it. He is in the middle of a deadline for work, so we decide we will figure out what to do when he finishes in about 20 minutes. Meanwhile I am stressed out. I am so disappointed in these two boys who I thought were above doing stuff like this.
While I am waiting for Shawn to finish his work, AJ comes up to me and says: "April Fools!" My first reaction was relief. My second reaction was to tell AJ that he better go tell his father, because we are about to start calling parents.
Shawn decides that AJ deserves a taste of his own medicine and tells him that we have already called the parents. They are very angry and both are on their way to pick the boys up. To really drive the point home, Shawn tells AJ that the boys will be grounded until further notice. Shawn explains that because of his little trick, AJ has now gotten his two best friends in serious trouble.
AJ went pale. Then, he went a little paler. Then, he got really upset.
Shawn and I smiled and said: "April Fools!"
