Easter Fun

The pre-school class went on an egg hunt today at The Courtyard. It's the assisted living in town and they host the hunt every year for the pre-school classes. They provided everything for the hunt. They made a picture frame craft.
Then they had their picture made with the Easter Bunny
Then they hunted their eggs while the glue dried on their picture frames. Then they went in for snacks and received their pictures of them and the bunny.This is Cooper. They are inseparable! When the teachers told the children to line up to go hunt the eggs, Buzzy and Cooper were so excited that they jumped up and down and then had to hug! I am so glad that he has such a good friend. Coopers grandmother is Buzzy's Sunday School teacher and Coopers grandfather it the Tootsie Roll man at church. They were there with Cooper today and Buzzy just loves them too! He asked me one day how Cooper's Papaw makes all those Tootsie Rolls and I told him that maybe he has one of those candy makers like we watch when we are in the mountains!

Now.. Listen to a Story 'bout a man named Jed...

Yep, those are chickens. Yep, they are on my sunporch. Pappy and MiMi took Buzzy to get the coop on Sunday and I went and got the chicks this morning. They are so sweet. This is the closest MiMi is going to get, for now, to having chickens! She has tried and tried and Pappy won't cooperate. We finally talked him into the coop, as long as it is at our house! They are bantam chickens and I can't wait until they are big enough to tell if they are roosters or hens. By then, of course, they will be outside. For all of the readers who aren't from Kentucky, look what you are missing!! Just call us the Clampetts! Steve is Jethro, I'm Ellie Mae, Mimi is Granny, and Pappy is Jed!! I guess Buzzy is one of Ellie's Mae's pet monkeys! Maybe this summer, we can get a cement pond!

Birthday Practice

Buzzy and MiMi baked a cake today after school. He has been writing out his own recipes and said he's going to make his own cookbook. The other night, he drew a picture of a cake and then had Steve write down all the ingredients. He told me to get them when I went to the store. He wrote down super-duper baking powder, sugar, blueberries, pink icing and I can't remember what else. I went to WalMart and got him a confetti cake, vanilla icing, and sprinkles. He and MiMi put it all together today. He found some candles in the drawer and had to practice blowing out the candles for his birthday. He practiced making a wish too! We will have to see what he wished for. I'm sure he won't keep it a secret long!

Just Say NO to Credit Cards!

Buzzy has decided that he likes Tommy better than K. He's not mean to her, but when I ask if he wants her to come over, he says no, but Tommy can. Anyway, K came over yesterday to help me clean on my sunporch and Buzzy wasn't being very hospitable. The conversation went something like this - remember, K was present during this!

ME: If your not nice to K she won't get you a birthday present.

BUZZY: That's okay. Everyone else will get me presents and besides, I don't want a credit card. That's what she got me last time and I don't want no credit cards!!!!!

We laughed our tails off. If it had been anyone but Kara, I would have died. She thought it was hilarious too. Honesty is the best policy, I guess? In case you don't know, credit card is the same as a gift card!

Snow Day

Buzzy is always excited when it snows. Whether it's a dusting or a blizzard doesn't matter to him. It started snowing Thursday and by the time Steve got home on Friday, Buzzy had waited about as long as he could stand it. Steve had to go and get Buzzy new boots, because our beloved canine likes to chew on shoes. So Buzzy had to wait all day for his shoes. They played just a little on Friday afternoon. It snowed all day and all night so we woke up to a true "winter wonderland!" Buzzy started out on the sled behind the Rhino. Banjo is the silliest dog. He won't ride in the Rhino, he chases behind. He stayed right beside Buzzy on the way to MiMi and Pappy's until Buzzy got tired of the snow blowing up in his face. He decided about half way there that he wanted to get on and ride with me and Steve!
When we got to Mimi's. Buzzy and Daddy hit the slopes/driveway!
I think Steve only took one trip on the saucer. Buzzy and I raced each other. We each had a tire track and Steve would push him and down the hill we would go! It took me a minute to get the hang of sledding again! I haven't rode a sled in a long time and my belly made it a little challenging as well! It was so much fun!
Pappy couldn't stand watching us have all that fun! He watched from the garage and then we heard the 4-wheeler start and here he came!! We played until we couldn't go anymore and then went in for some chili at MiMi's. When we left, Banjo decided to stay at MiMi's. I know he had to be tired after running all the way there. MiMi called when we got home and said that Banjo was on her porch whining like a puppy. He knew his momma had left him! Steve took the Tahoe over there and got him. Now, are all of my boys spoiled or what?
