Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!

This morning, the kids enjoyed baskets of candy and goodies from the Easter Bunny as well as going to mass in our nice outfits and Easter bonnets. Our girls were the only ones wearing bonnets at church, with the exception of one woman and a baby, and everyone loved how we all dressed up:)We were chosen to bring up the gifts as well. Dad was very proud of all of us.

April Fools!

April Fools Day has always been a happy and fun day for our family as we remember Papa Bill's birthday and play funny little pranks on each other. This year was a lot more than solving a simple riddle, or waking up to a frozen toothbrush. This year, Liam decided to pull a series of pranks on the whole family...especially me.
I was doing homework downstairs in the kitchen. I made the decision that I would go to bed at a decent hour that night and wake up early to finish the rest of it, so I headed upstairs to my room. Liam had managed to tie two glasses of water to my door...one in the front, and one in the back. I opened my door(not seeing the glasses), got wet, and tried to shut the door in a hurry only to get drenched by the second cup. The water got on my homework, and all over the floor. ughh. Later, when I went to brush my teeth, I saw that my retainer was filled with salt. Luckily, I was smart enough not to fall for that one. Hoping that that was the end of the pranks, I set my alarm and went to bed. In the middle of the night, I woke up and decided to go to the bathroom. I went to go turn the handle of the door, and discovered that it was covered in peanut butter! It was dark and I was half asleep, so I rubbed my face and wiped my hands on my shirt not knowing what it was. Entering the bathroom, I saw that the toilet was covered in yellow water...the same water that was surrounding the toilet on the floor. "Gross!" I thought. "Liam is so dead..." I turned on the light and looked in the mirror. I had acquired a mustache! It was blue too! I washed the mustache (with intense scrubbing) and the peanut butter off my face before attempting to go to bed in peace. I woke up later than usual. My clock said 2pm. "That can't be right," I thought. I checked my cell phone and it was 6:48 am. I was super mad at Liam for changing my clock and making me wake up almost 2hrs later than I was supposed to! Also, Liam had tied a rope onto the door handles of my room, and the room that Mary and Erin share. Our rooms are parallel to each other so we both couldn't escape our rooms. Mom had to come free us with scissors. I found out that the rest of the family got plagued, and.....I missed the bus.
