Bunicula!

Here is our annual n'hood Easter Egg hunt. Emmerson was the Easter Bunny, making naughty comments all the way to the park! Emmerson is a very "politically minded" 14 year old! His little brother had a difficult time not calling him Emmerson. Later, we came home and Emmerson got his Darth Vader Voice Changer out and put it under the bun bun's head! Made another YouTube video with Augie.

Hunt went well, despite the 40 degree temp and wind. Augie won one of the door prizes and we went home for hot cocoa and tea! We are very much looking forward to spring. We keep getting a taste of it for a day or so and then back to chilly and windy.

Spring Break is over -- what a long, miserable week. Kids were ready to go back on Tuesday. I had a job interview, while trying to work from home. Blossom got into Olivia's candy stash and ate her fill (thankfully she couldn't get into the M&Ms, she just licked the paper rendering them indeible). We came home from the grocery store to find her lying on the kitchen floor, starburst wrappers stuck to her belly, skittles in her ears. Olivia ran up to her bedroom and 5 minutes later yells: "BLOSSOM, darnit girl!" We had to take her for a walk, like trying to sober up a friend who has had too much to drink!

Big Green Egg is here!

This is our St Paddy's day dinner. It's a little overdone. We just got a big green egg and we love it. So much easier to control the temp than a smoker. This got done in 4 hrs at 250. I had the vents almost closed. We're learning. Chickens turned out great. We put two big chickens on together and smoked them in 90 minutes. They were so juicy and the skin was not charred to oblivion. I think we're doing a pork roast next.
