This is the very first year, ever, that I bought premade baskets. As I was going down the candy aisle at Walmart- I looked up and saw all the premade ones. Well, to heck with putting it together, I went the easy route. I think I came out cheaper, actually. Guess what- the kids could care less. They were happy with their huge "packaged for marketing" baskets. They looked good, anyways. We went to Stacy's for the Easter meal. The day started out with tornado warnings and hail and by the time we left for Stacy's house, the sun was shining and no clouds. It was like a different day. So- you would think we would be doing the traditional ham- but.. no, we decided that no one wanted to cook. The concensus was grilled hamburgers for Easter. Stacy didn't let that deter her from setting the dining room table with china and crystal. So we had burgers served on china. The kids did the annual Easter egg hunt. They've gotten smart and have realized that the eggs that have money in them don't make noise when you shake them. So they were going around shaking eggs and putting in there baskets only the ones that didn't make noise. We convinced them to pick up the candy ones too. There were over 200 eggs to find. Ashley was out for the one that had $10 in it (gas money for her). Of course she found it. She was on a mission and didn't care about the candy eggs. Amy found the $5 egg.
As for the hog, Ashley went with her friend, Collin, Saturday to his grandparents ranch in Huntsville. She called and told me that she shot a hog. My first instinct was "what are you doing with a gun?". She said his grandpa was right next to her and helping her. The hog was a trapped wild hog and was doomed to die anyways. So Ashley volunteered to kill the thing. Yes- right between the eyes. I swear, I didn't raise my child to shoot things between the eyes. I don't know where that instinct came from. Really!
She also sent me text pictures of her holding (with bare hands) the bass fish that she caught. Whatever- who's kid is this?
