Easter (PG-13)

We had a wild and crazy Easter Weekend. It started off with a bang (and I do mean a bang) on Friday when Miss Clumsy thought she would face plant into the corner of a wall. I think I shed more tears than she did because is was SO scary! Thank God she was on my watch because I would have flipped a script on anyone else that may have been watching her. Of course, I had to document our first real boo-boo.

We also had another "first" on Good Friday. In southern Louisiana, it appears the thing to do on Good Friday is boil crawfish. Mama was cravin' em, and Daddy was feeling a little homesick, so we decided to give it a go. Felix picked up some at a local joint. They sure weren't like Daddy fixes em, but it cured the craving. Blair was digging it too...

Blair woke up Easter morning with a ton of loot from the Easter Bunny. Yes, the Easter Bunny did go overboard. He stopped by a few other houses on the way to pick up some additional treats for Blair. That is the blessing of Blair having SO many grandparents (and that is what I get for having to put up with divorced parents ;)).

So, we had already made an executive decision to not attend church on Easter morning because Blair had been under the weather all week. I was so saddened by this, because I love church service on Easter. But, I realized that Blair didn't need to go to church nursery with her immune system already being attacked. So, we rested on Sunday morning and met some friends for lunch at the Ritz Carlton. NOW, LET ME WARN YOU. THIS IS WHERE THE POST TURNS INTO PG-13. The Ritz had some festivities set up for the kids for Easter lunch. One of which, was a petting zoo. Blair isn't too into animals. I'm not really either, so she gets it honest. However, we did find some of the animals to be acting rather strange. Here is what we saw. IN. DOWNTOWN. BUCKHEAD.

WHAT???? DO WHAT?????

It was like a train wreck. I couldn't stop watching. So, I just decided to start snapping pictures. Don't ask me why. It was just so unbelievable. So anyway, once the train wreck was over, we got back to our normal picture taking routine. Now here's more like it...

Overall, it was a great Easter. The only thing missing was church, which was the most important thing. One of my favorite things to do (yes, I am just like you TT) is to sing those good ole southern baptist hymns. I will leave you with this since it is my favorite...

Because He lives I can face tomorrow

Because He lives all fear is gone

Because I know He holds the future

And life is worth the living just because He lives!
