JUST IN TIME FOR EASTER

The VANITY GODS have been watching over me lately. They have been up on their little golden, prissy thrones waiting for just the right moment to play a cruel joke on me. With time on the VANITY GODS sides, it wasn't long before they could choose the right moment to strike.

My hair is the same color as the Peeps.

I have Peep hair....and it is really quite scary.

My stylist was out of town and I "HAD" (insert pithy whining here) to get my hair done before my dear rich and successful friends from grade school met me for a girlfriend kind of reunion.

So damn you all to hell VANITY GODS! You got your laugh. Now shut the fuck up.

ON THE THIRD DAY HE ROSE AGAIN

Easter is Izzy's favorite holiday. We have been crossing off days on the calendar until we reach Easter. We have been doing this since January 1st. See?

Last night at the dinner table, Bubby and I were trying to explain that Easter isn't about Easter Bunnies and eggs and chocolate for everyone. We said that people that believe in God celebrate Easter because they believe that God's son... Jesus died on the cross for all of the sins that people committed and then on Easter Sunday he rose from the dead and then went to heaven.

Leroy exclaimed in a very loud voice and with great seriousness....."Jesus came back as the Easter Bunny!"

Now THERE'S a revelation!

So much for teaching our children about the Christians.

EASTER RECAP

I love Easter. My friend The Anaylyzer thinks I'm crazy because we are not religious but we celebrate Easter. Yes, I know I'm a hypocrite.

I call it a celebration for the promise of Spring. It's also a great excuse to have the Easter bunny visit your house and hide Easter eggs and leave you lots and lots of chocolate.

Every year there is an Easter event here Way Down In Mayberry. Tons of parents and their children show up in little Easter outfits to hunt for eggs and play games. When I mean "little Easter outfits", that also includes the Mom's....emphasis on little coverage. Bubby comes for the entertainment. He downs a gin martini before we leave and doesn't stop drinking until we come home. Most events Way Down In Mayberry can be a blast for people watching. This year Bubby came up with a new slogan to put on a sign down at the General Store:

ATTENTION!

LESS LIPOSUCTION

MORE PARENTING

Here is a picture of the boys. Can you see that Christian is thrilled that I match them in outfits. Hee hee. I love driving him crazy!

Will Leroy ever stop with the thumbs-up in pictures? Probably not.

The best part about the day was Izzy over-dosing on sugar. At first, he was on glucose high. This enabled him to do really well in the bunny hop race.

By the time we got to the egg toss, Izzy was nearly in a coma. All he could do was stare and hope the egg landed gently in his lap. And the egg did, for the first 22 times. The last toss, Izzy didn't even raise up his hands to catch the egg. The egg squarely smacked him in the middle of his forehead.

Yep. That's egg white running down Izzy's nose and in to his mouth.

We also visited family and rejoiced with food and games. Tori & Uncle V

Some of my crazy family. I don't know why Me-Ma is taking off my Niece's shirt, but she doesn't seem to mind.
A fun weekend for all.
