April Fool's Day and Easter and Spring Celebrations

Oh Look what the kids found in their dinner food on April Fool's Day. It really freaked them out! It was soooo funny. What a silly dad they have, and mom to go along with it. It was so fun. The girls put them in our bed after they had been washed off. The boys wanted nothing to do with them. That was just too gross! Next year I bet it is a different story!



The first day of spring is always a big celebration here.  The Spring Bunny comes and leaves his treats and well, to be frank, a really big mess of black jelly beans.  Last year the boys were sooooo grossed out, especially when the family started eating them. This year they laughed and ate them up.  Some of like them and others of us think licorice is yucky.  But, it is fun.  The girls also get to host a spring party with just a few friends. They have been doing this for years. The number has shrunk considerably. We used to invite nearly everyone we knew with small kids for an egg hunt. A few years ago we decided to go small and do a girls party. It is so fun.

We had fun dying Spring Eggs too. Everyone got into it. I always have to buy way more eggs that I think are necessary, but they all get eaten up.

Easter Sunday with family at our home was a fun day.  Here is Dave with our four kids and three cousins.  What fun they have together.

Keep on the Sunny Side

The Whites - Keep on the Sunny Side
(Depression Era song)

There's a dark & a troubled side of life
There's a bright, there's a sunny side, too
Tho' we meet with the darkness and strife
The sunny side we also may view

[cho:] Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side,
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us ev'ry day, it will brighten all the way
If we'll keep on the sunny side of life

The storm and its fury broke today,
Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear;
Clouds and storms will, in time, pass away
The sun again will shine bright and clear.
Let us greet with the song of hope each day
Tho' the moment be cloudy or fair
Let us trust in our Saviour away
Who keepeth everyone in His care
