Easter

Even though I realize that Easter is coming, I seem to have difficulty bringing home something to eat for Easter. I decide to take the boys with me to a small grocery store and the selection of meat is somewhat limited with only thin ham slices and a couple chicken breasts and small lamb chops. Much to my husband's dismay I brought home meatballs and shrimp. We ended up having meatball grinders for dinner. They tasted great, but not exactly Easter Meal. I doubt we'll forget it.

The Easter bunny came and delivered Easter baskets and hid Easter eggs around the house. It looked like rain, so an indoor Easter Egg hunt was the way to go. They were delighted with their baskets. As you will see in the photos, Lily was definitely the best dressed of the bunch. THanks to an outfit from "Nana" Aunt Martha.

For some reason I find the boy's temper tantrums much more embarrassing in England that I ever did back home. I'm not sure what that is, but I think I feel judging eyes on me being an American I guess.

I am trying to build my strength and endurance by pushing the stroller with at least 2 kids in it each day. I leave 1 child home with daddy and take the other 2 for excursions. My body is so sore! I was able to go for a run a couple days ago all alone, which was heavenly. :-)

OH we found out that we can put out 1 large trash can for pick up once every other week. The opposite week is for recycling and removal of grass cuttings and trimmings from the yard. Our trash can started out 1/2 full when we arrived and we were 3 bags over, which they did not take. Our can is starting out the next 2 weeks 1/2 full again. Not good and we are not sure how to solve this issue.

Today I took Harrison and Oliver to an Easter Egg hunt in the park with about 50 other kids and their's moms for the most part. Then we sat down on a picnic blanket and ate lunch. I was told to bring a rug along with me and come to find out that means a picnic blanket. Luckily I clarified that before we went. I went into town that morning to pick one up. I met a couple nice moms and hope to take the kids with me to a mommy and toddler playgroup at a local church each week.

I think that is it for now. Enjoy that 80 degree weather in PA. It was in the 40s and sunny/partly cloudy today. No rain.
