Our Easter

I awoke early and went to Easter mass with Blake which was a sunrise service. Although I am not Catholic I must admit it was a rewarding experience. I actually have a problem going to church on Christmas and Easter if I have not been to the regular services. (I feel bad :(  After services we went to IHOP for breakfast. After we ate Blake was ready to go home to go back to sleep before our 2pm Easter brunch. 

  As soon as Blake dropped me off I worked out in my home gym, showered, and then sit down and checked my facebook and blogger pages.I started getting ready to go to to brunch. I then  finished up my dishes I prepared to take to our friends house and then started to get ready for "Easter Brunch" with friends and colleagues . 

The weather has actually been dreadful and raining so the kids had to hunt for eggs inside. They seemed so disappointed that they had to hunt for eggs inside, Then I remembered the few times when it rained when I was a child and I had to hurt eggs inside with my cousins and friends, and I was bound and determined I was going to make a "Easter Hunt Adventure" for these children. Everyone looked at me as if I was crazy and what was the point these kids had everything and one Easter Egg hunt would not kill them. I could only recruit Blake for help to hide the eggs. First I took a donation of all the adults pocket money and the plastic prize eggs were filled with mostly 20 dollar bills, there were 10's and 5's and even change. There were 14 children ranging from 6 months old to 12 years old. Blake and I gathered all the eggs including the boiled eggs and started to hide them down stairs so no one would get hurt on the stairs. When we counted the boiled eggs there was 108 we had 72 plastic eggs, but only filled some with candy and the surprises that was bought to go into the plastic eggs. We had 182.58 in cash and after filling and hiding the eggs. "Let the Hunt Began"

Blake and I took charge as we already had making a fun day for the children. I had a 6 and a 18 month old while Blake had a 2 and 3 year old helping them find eggs before all the big kids found all the eggs. Everything went great and all the eggs were found which is a must (no sticking eggs a week later and the occupants wondering where's that smell coming from? The kids all had so much fun and enjoyed all the eggs and surprises the Easter Bunny left for them. 

With all the work that the 2 Easter Bunnies did they realized on the way home that they had taken no pictures of the event. So please anyone who took pics please tag pics to our pages thanks. 

We were tired by the time we made it to my place, so we cut on the TV to chill and there was a heart breaking documentary on HBO titled "American Winter" and that will be my next blog. With our church service, all the good food we had to eat today I want to give a special prayer for those who had nothing today. I want to thank God for the TV being on a Chanel and American Winter just starting. I hope that everyone who has HBO will take the time to watch it.
