Easter, A-Z

I hope everyone had a good Easter holiday.  We got together with the family like we always do.  Had an awesome lunch and gained about 20 lbs.  After lunch, the tradition requires the whole family (minus a few of us) to walk down to the river while the few of us who stayed and hid about 500 eggs in the backyard.  Ok, maybe not quite 500, but a crap load of them.  While my mom’s backyard is pretty huge, we run out of places to hide them because there are so many.  We usually end up tossing a bunch all around on the ground, more or less, out in the open.  This year, my brother just put a bunch in the pile and the youngest kid just went to town in one spot.  After the egg hunt, the kids emptied their eggs then started playing with some bubble thingy’s in the yard since it was so nice out.  All the adults just hung out and chit chatted, which is probably one of my favorite things to do with the family.  We have a great time since we all have the same sense of humor.  And let’s face it, it was 60°, so it was nice to sit outside for awhile.

The main reason for this post is to let you know that starting tomorrow, I will be posting for the A to Z Challenge.  So if you read it and go, why in the hell is he talking about that, that would be why.  I’m doing a theme behind my challenge, you can read about it here.  I’ve actually got A thru K done so I know I’ll at least make it to almost the middle of the month.  I have quite a bit of time off this week so we’ll see if I can get some more punched out.  I don’t know though, because the kids are on spring break so I’m hoping the weather is decent and we can do some outdoor activities.  Lord knows, my fat ass needs to get off the couch some.
