On Friday, we got up and did a quick WalMart run for the cake before heading to the bowling alley for the party. And here is my gripe about that.....my nephew invited 23 kids to his party and 1 of them RSVP'd....only 3 showed up to the party. Now, of course, having it on Good Friday, a long weekend, was a risk since people probably had out of town plans or family coming in town, but at least RSVP !!
My nephew could care less, if it had been only family and him, he would have been happy, but please people, just RSVP. Anyway, the party was fun and the kids had fun bowling. Here are some pics :

Then that night we played some Shrek Bingo on DVD which was fun and colored Easter eggs. Of course, we had to overrule my sister and leave 3 eggs in the colored water overnight in the fridge, something I don't think I was ever allowed to do when I was a kid.....here is a pic of how those turned out the next morning - really dark - and probably inedible - but super cool :
Saturday we just hung out and were lazy - Mason requested homemade 'super-mushroom' pizza for his birthday lunch since I was leaving after that so we made pizza and just relaxed....after all, it was freezing outside.....yep, a mini-winter storm hit Abilene, Texas in April. I left around 1:30p that afternoon when Mason and JoLynn were off to bowl in a Shrek Bowling league.....I stopped for gas on the way out and took this picture of my snow-covered car :
And something else you don't see to often, snow covered bluebonnets....
Well, you know what they say about Texas weather, if you don't like it, wait a minute, which I guess is true since it is supposed to be 80 here tomorrow.
Ciao.
