Yesterday

Isn't it strange that it's not even April, and yet Easter has already come and gone? Weird. We had a great day, though, even if it was freezing cold. First of all - thank you Pastor Hoffman for a wonderful Resurection Day sermon!
Then we came home and had a delicous meal. And...

...because my mother is all kinds of awesome, she made a huge chocolate ice-cream cake. It was very yummy. :)
We also had an Easter-egg hunt. Julianna hid the eggs very well. So well, in fact, that Emily and I had very hard time finding all of them. It was a color-coded Easter egg hunt, but being as we were rather short on eggs, Emily, Ben and I shared the yellow ones. I know - I thought that tradition was long behind me - but somehow we ended up doing it. So sad we had to get all that candy. :D
Here are some "artistic" photographs we took:

The kids hung out all afternoon - till about 7:30, I think. It was a very relaxing afternoon. We took lots of pictures. :) Here is Emily, putting on her glasses:

And Emily took these of Ben having a conversation with me:

See, guys? I refrained from posting the really weird ones! Aren't you proud of me? I suppose I should post some of me, but fortunatly, all the ones you took are either blurry or so dark you can't see them! Hehe! :)

Oh, yes. We also got stuck doing all these dishes. ^ Fourteen people makes alot of dirty dishes.

One of the main events of the afternoon was the "time-capsule." Emily, Ben and I made one some time ago were meaning to open it in 2012, but Matthew found it and dug it up. Sadness. So we made a new one. It contains some weird pictures and letters we wrote to our "future selves." Yes, we are weird, I know.

Here is Ben and Emily, preparing to bury the new time capsule. (Which, by the way, has been sealed in a water-tight apple-sauce jar. :))

We found out that Matthew just threw our old letters and pictures back in the hole after he dug up the box. This is what they look like now:
We had to dry the letters with a hair-dryer to make them readable. They were hilarious. Ben's letter began like this: "Don't die before you read this!" ?? Emily wrote both a "real" letter and a "fake" one. The fake one went something like this: "This is my last day of breath. The evil Matthew and Joshua have ordered my execution at sunup. I fear it is to be the bash-in-the-skull. The sun is coming up now. I can hear them. They are coming. I cannot get out. They are here......." Very dramatic, is it not? I think she was hoping someone would find it many years from now. Hehe.

Hehe, my letter looks like a historical artifact!

Thus concludes my interesting post. Hope you all have a fabulous day!
