Easter Goodness

Stratton liked having green hair

He did not like having egg hair. Neither did Matt.

We had Easter dinner with Matt's parents and fam last week, that left us on our own for real Easter. We have 9:00 church so amid the usual frantic try-to-get-to-church-on-time hustle, Matt didn't even notice the Easter "baskets" I had put together. Mostly it was a little candy, some granola bars, baby treats, and paper grass stuffed into Tupperware bowls. So I pointed out the goodness and we hurried to church. When we got home, the boys played with their treats while I got dinner ready. We decided to still do a big yummy dinner so I made ham, scalloped potatoes, and rolls. It was a really warm day and we were able to eat out on the patio, it was great. Then we went for a walk at the park. There were so many big groups of people having picnics and BBQs at the park. Seriously, probably hundreds, the park was packed. It was a fabulous day outside, and I decided that as long as we have Easter in Arizona, we will be having picnics instead of cooking hot food inside. Plus, then there's less clean-up (which Matt did anyway...) The only problem at the park was that all the families were having Easter egg hunts and every egg we passed, it was all I could do to hold Matt back. But it was a great day-especially after we took the eggs out of Stratton's hair.
