The Bunch Celebrate Easter

We had a great time!

This week was very interesting. Since we were unexpectedly down to one car, we have had to adjust our schedule a bit. Mostly meaning that T can't go to his extracurricular activities unless A is home to take him and I can't run errands for the same reason. Since A has a Ford Spark, it is SLIGHTLY bigger than D's little 3 cylinder (I thought the salesman was kidding when said that) mirage, her car is the new family car. Seriously, it can not only hold the four of us (barely), but can actually accommodate all our groceries on a regular trip to the store. In fact, before the Tom Thumb in town opened, she use to pick up our grocery order on her way home from work since there was a Tom Thumb on her way home. It's been months since she had to do that, but she did it this week and I had a pretty big order. We also had made plans to visit C in Bonham. T's girlfriend was playing softball there so we thought it would be fun to grab dinner with them and go watch her play. Because T is so tall, he has a hard time fitting in the back of A's car so he rides in the front to have more head and leg room. That means for the entire hour and a half EACH WAY, D and I were stuffed into the back seat. While I am happy A has a car she can fit us all in if we need to, it was VERY uncomfortable so the next day we decided to just find something to make do with. D actually found a really good deal on a BMW X5 so we drove all the way to Arlington to take a look. The car had all the bells and whistles. In fact, it was so smart it told us that 1.) the engine was malfunctioning, 2.) the front tire was low, 3.) the left blinker wasn't working and 4.) the wiper fluid was out (whether from a crack or just low we didn't know.). Needless to say that was a hard pass. We almost came home, but then saw a similar car we decided to look at. It was only the X3 so some of the extras were missing, but it was in really good shape, had a roomie interior, and drove wonderfully! We were happy and the price was decent so we went ahead and bought it. We plan to have some preventative maintenance done to it in the next month, but so far we're very happy. I am making the kids practice driving with me for a bit before setting them free because it is very different than the Volvo. We are still dealing with insurance on that, but hopefully that will get resolved this week. I will miss my butt warmers though! I also wasn't crazy about the fact it took premium gas, but the Navigator took premium too and we had almost no problems with it for 15 years.

It's was like we were the kids stuck in the backseat! 😂

D played the kid part up....it was quite uncomfortable though.

A decided that softball was boring. LOL!

It's always fun when we get hang out together ❤️

T's girlfriend plays catcher.

Our new car....sans butt warmer.😭

I like it. I will just miss my extra features

This year Easter was a little different. The kids decided that they didn't want our traditional ham. They wanted burgers instead. Since it was a little hard to find my spiral cut ham this year for some reason, I was okay with that. I asked them if they still wanted to dye eggs and T quickly said yes. A ultimately decided she wanted to also. I was doing it whether they were or not! 😂 I find it relaxing and enjoy spending a few minutes enjoying the holiday. They definitely don't make the elaborate eggs of their youth. T usually does one super involved egg and A just dyes them. I do combo of just dying them and simple pictures. I participated in the egg hunt again this year. It is so much fun! I think they should have adult egg hunts. Maybe charge a few dollars per participant and a bar or restaurant could have an adult egg hunt with a prize being a free appetizer or soda or something. I think that could be a lot of fun and a way to advertise. Since A has gotten last place in the hunt pretty much her whole life, she took it up a notch this year and even put on her running shoes! Unfortunately, she still lost! Poor girl! I thought she did it this year finally, but I actually had one more egg than she did. 😂 T, per usual, beat us easily. Is there nothing that boy isn't good at??? We were laughing, yelling, and having so much fun that Axl, who was in the backyard while we were in the front, started barking at us in concern about what weird phenomenon was going on. Afterwards we had our traditional egg gravy breakfast and headed to church. We watched Hop after church and had a great afternoon. It was a good day! I hope everyone else had a wonderful Easter too!🐇🐣🐰
