Husband in the Hospital Hospitality Basket

Best friends for over 50 years,
both have husbands in the hospital for similar conditions.

Jean will be in a hotel for at least 10 days after her husband's surgery.
Melissa is sending her
a basket brimming with a few comforts to make 
her stay a little more "hospitable"...


a few munchies...
(have you had these Trader Joe's Cookies?...sooo good)

a few things for a relaxing bath...

and a little stationery in case she needs to write a note...


but nothing is more comforting than knowing 
your best friend is there for you

Chocolate Milk Cheer Up

Around here we have a little of the
"after spring break blues".

An after school/before volleyball practice treat was in order...


 cookies, milk and 
Magic Chocolate Milk Straws!


sip through the straw 
and the milk becomes chocolate...

and a few words to live by...


Bottoms Up!


you can get the straws in different flavors here
and if you don't have time to bake cookies,
 get the Highbrow Chocolate Chip Cookies from Trader Joes!

"Adorn-able" Easter

One of our new traditions is for the kids to
decorate my dad's statues for each holiday...

 Buddha's Basket...

Grumpy "Colonel Woo's" Easter makeover...

and we like to decorate his dog...

Have a Happy Easter!

Bunny BBQ

It all started out so pretty...
an Easter Themed S'mores Buffet at the beach


cute bunny marshmallows and Peeps...


and assorted chocolate rabbits...

all displayed and waiting for the kids for after dinner...

 and then night fell...
the otherwise civilized children turned into
Peep Pyromaniacs...



they showed no mercy...
but they were able to make some delicious desserts...

The Bunny Burning Bandits...





please alert the Easter Authorities
 if you know their whereabouts!

We've been Egged...(and done some Egging)!

Eggs are splattered all over!
 Before we left home for Spring Break,
an extra large egg landed on our front door.

A jumbo robin's egg
painted by Jack "Jackson Pollack" Murphy...

Then a little Pre-Easter Egg Hunt we did for Grandma...


Stripped Eggs...
Spotted Eggs...

Chocolate Eggs...

She found them all and they ended up here...

I never thought I would say this but I am so glad we got
"Egged"...
and it all started with this from Michael's!
