Instagram Easter

Happy Belated Easter to you!  Did you have a nice, chocolate and ham filled Easter?  Did the Easter Bunny visit and hide your baskets in very hard to find spots?  Can you zip up your pants yet after an Easter dinner at your in-laws’ house where you sampled four desserts including red velvet cupcakes, cannoli dip, Rice Krispie Treats, and coconut bunny cake?

(My diet started today, and tomorrow I’m hitting the gym with a renewed, though slightly flabbier spirit).

Our Easter break was nice though.  Gorgeous weather for the entire 6 days off led to a lot of outside playing.  It’s a bummer when the kids have off from school only to be stuck in the house.

Grandma took us and my niece Shayla on our annual Candy Field Trip to this local Farmer’s Market.

After the kids picked out way too much candy, we had some delicious soft pretzels from the soft pretzel stand.

And painted our eggs…

And on Easter morning we went to Dave’s brother’s church (his brother is a priest in a neighboring county) for Easter mass.  After mass, we ate donuts that Grandma W. brought in his brother’s rectory, and then smiled for Grandma’s camera.

We ate our lunch at Uncle Dave and Aunt Jamae’s house (ham) and then supper at Grandma W.’s house (turkey and way too many desserts).  The cousins ran around for the last egg hunt of the year.

Back to school tomorrow, along with the arrival of some rain, which I say is pretty good timing!

No, I can't zip up my pants, and thank you for pointing that out!I started my diet and exercise program yesterday too. I am working out to a Cindy Crawford DVD. Don't let those super model looks fool you; she is hard-core! Just 5 minutes into the DVD, I start swearing at her, and she doesn't even flinch! 20 minutes into the workout, I collapse on the floor and she just keeps going! 25 minutes into the workout, I'm at the computer, looking at motivational exercise quotes on Pinterest, which, as everyone knows, is almost the same as working out.
