I have missed you all. We had to shut our internet down for a while. It was that or our phones. We decided I could live without the internet for a month. But now I am back and have stuff to share!
First I will share Easter.
As is standard to our life in the military, Owen missed the majority of yet another Easter!. This time he had training all weekend. He was supposed to be home by noon.... but as is almost always the case with the Army some bonehead ruined the fun for everyone else!
Just as we decided we couldn't wait to start the fun any longer, Owen called and said it was time to come get him. We waited till the first set of eggs was ready to come out of the dye.
Mikaela's favorite colors were the "girly ones" and green.
Alexander stuck to what I like to call the "midnight colors" Deep purple, deep blue and the dark turquoise blue.
Aeddon wanted the bright colors. The orange, yellow and cyan blue.
Liam was a little to young to dye eggs and just sat there happily watching the whole affair!
As soon as the eggs were all dyed Owen went very quickly out and hid half of them for the kids to find. 6 each for the older kids. We had to work fast and look fast for two reasons. Reason number 1 is that it was about to be dark. Reason number 2 is that it was about to start pouring with rain!
After the hunt we did baskets. We don't do the Easter bunny here. We told the kids it is because the Easter bunny cant get on post cause he doesn't have the security clearance!
After that we did a relatively normal dinner followed by some strawberry shortcake made with angel food cake.
Liam LOVED the angel food cake!
That was pretty much the adventure that was our Easter!
