HAPPY EASTER

SUNDAY MORNING WE WERE WOKE UP 6.45 AM...YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT! MY DAUGHTER WAS A BIT ON THE EXCITED SIDE!!! I FELT BAD FOR SENDING HER BACK TO HER ROOM BUT SHE ENDED UP READING FOR ANOTHER HOUR.
ZACH FOUND HIS EASTER BASKET HIDDEN UNDER THE SINK BY THE GARBAGE. HE WAS SO NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT. I AM SURE THE EASTER BUNNY IS HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING PLACES TO HIDE A BASKET FOR A 15 YEAR OLD!!!!! I TOLD HIM TO CUT HIM/HER SOME SLACK!ZACH FOR A GIFT CARD TO HASTINGS, NEW GUITAR PICKS, AND NECKALCE, AND CANDY!
LEXIE WASTED NO TIME AND FOUND HERS BY THE BENCH IN THE BASEMENT! SHE GOT A SWIMSUIT COVER-UP, ALVIN THE SQEAKEL MOVIE, AND CANDY!
LOOK AT MY CUTE SON...HE IS SO EXCITED HE FOUND SOME EGGS IN THE HOUSE! HE CRACKS ME UP!
