how i spent my easter weekend

cory's girlfriend, christine, bought two female mice for her youngest son for easter. when they woke up yesterday, there were twelve mice in the cage. cory stared at it in disbelief and stunned silence for a bit before turning to christine and saying, "it's an easter miracle!"

in unrelated news, does anyone in seattle want a pet mouse?

saturday afternoon i grabbed a ferry and headed over to bremerton.

"omigod, alyson!!!!! that's so funny!" alyson and i went to a show at the manette that evening. we ate the most wonderful cupcakes, too. nicole, the birthday girl, has a cupcake business with her mom and i'll be sure to share the info as soon as i get it. the cupcakes had FRESH RASPBERRIES!!!!

yes, alyson pretty much ALWAYS looks that gorgeous!

this was parked in downtown port orchard. i saw it while driving home in the middle of the night. i have no explanation for it.

EASTER FAMILY BRUNCH PICTURES DELETED AT A CERTAIN SOMEONE'S REQUEST.

bitter much?

cory and i watched nacho libre on the ferry ride home. i was exhausted! note to self - don't stay out late drinking the night before a family function. at least todd had done that, too!

the best parts of the day:

ty dancing to the theme from zooboomafoo

the platter of assorted bacon.

cupcakes!

jansen's warning to xander, "you better stop it or you're gonna be in a lot of trouble and get sent to military school and get a shot!" we kept quoting this for the rest of the day.

you know those moments in group settings where suddenly everything is quiet and you overhear someone say something random and embarrassing? well, during one of those, my cousin todd said, "yeah, a bm would be really good right about now." he meant bloody mary!
pinky getting mad at jansen and his stumptail turning into a big ball of puff.

peyton, one of the other cat's, making love to a leather jacket.

uncle rick's spicy rice!

theron nearly choking to death after eating a huge glob of spicy chinese mustard. is it mean to laugh about that?

janna confiscating the squirt guns when cody told the kids to go soak her.

mimosas!

cory time.

seeing everyone again.
