Easter Festivites

We had a great Easter weekend. Saturday we did an Easter egg hunt with the cousins (all 3 of 'em) and a Easter Brunch. Good food, Good fun, baaaddd brownies.

On Sunday morning, I woke Carter up and told him that it was Easter morning. I said "The Easter Bunny left you something!" Carter was dead asleep until I said that then He popped right up and said very clearly, alert and enthusiastically, "Thank You".

He quickly got out of bed, went to the living room and ran straight for his basket chuck full o' goodies. He completely bipassed the brand new shiny bike. He didn't even notice! I sat there and tried to guess how long it would take for him to notice it but I just couldn't contain myself, so I directed him towards it. He loved it!

Yummy Springtime Veggie Dish

Ok, So I read in Wasatch Women Magazine about this recipe. I did not write it down so this is strictly from memory and it may not be exact, but boy, was it good.

Roasted Asparagus with Balsamic

1 bunch of Asparagus
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 dash Kosher Salt
1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegarette
1 tbsp shredded parmesan cheese

Break off the woody ends of the asparagus and place on baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and make sure all asparagus is evenly coated. Sprinkle salt over the top. Place in preheated 400 degree oven for a couple minutes. You will know when it is done when the olive oil starts sizzling. Pull out the asparagus and drizzle with Balsamic and sprinkle with cheese. Put back in oven for 1 minute or until the cheese is slightly melted. Voila! Enjoy!

Ice Age 2 - The world's greatest movie

So, the latest craze around our house is this movie called "Ice Age 2". Now if you have not seen this movie, you have obviously been living under a rock and may not appreciate this...

Carter walks around the house saying all day long the following movie quotes.

"BORING!"

"I was born in this hole and I will die in this hole".

"Make me sloth!"

And finally, my personal favorite...

"Sorry - My stomach hates me!"

If you have not seen this movie, do yourself a favor and rent it or ask to borrow it from me. It is quite good.
