Chowklet Eggs

Well, we had lots going on Easter weekend. Thursday morning we packed up and left town headed for San Antonio to see Gramps!

Mason was very excited. We arrived in enough time for Mason to play outside a bit and eat dinner. Then it was off to bed because we had a big day Friday.

Friday we went to the San Antonio Zoo. Mason had a big time...he always does at the zoo...I think he feels at home there! Ha! Check out this bear sitting in the background of his picture, it almost looks fake!

After the zoo, my two bit father-in-law and evil wife made Mason and I go eat Chinese food. Yuckie!!! They seemed to enjoy it. Then it was home for a nap. Friday evening, we met one of Amber's friends since childhood, Erica, and her family, at Clear Springs. As a foot note, this was the original Clear Springs resaurant in Clear Springs, TX.

After dinner with Erica's husband Jason, and three of her kids, Robert, Cameron, and Riley we went back to their house for cookies and ice cream. We had a short visit their due to the time an Mason's bed time. Cameron gave Mason a helicopter that he just loves! Thank you Cameron!!!

Mason crashed on the way home. When we got back to Gramps house, we changed all his clothes and put on pajamas and through all that, he never woke up. Saturday we woke up and stayed around the house. Gramps wasn't feeling all that well, so he rested. Mason and I went the hardware store and checked out the Radio Flyer wagons, bicycles, lawn mowers, and many other various items. Saturday afternoon, we went to "kiddie park." For those of you who don't know, it is a park of miniature amusement park rides for kids. Mason had lots of fun!

Daddy even got to ride one ride with Mason because he was too small to go alone...we decided to stick our tounges out at mama!!!

We left the park and had dinner and then back home. Gramps wasn't feeling well. When we woke up on Easter Sunday, Gramps was sure enough sick. It was cold, cloudy, and really windy outside, so we couldn't hide eggs. Sad for our little guy, but mama went outside and walked back in with his Easter basket telling him, "The Easter bunny left it next to our truck." He didn't care, he just started opening eggs and eating chocolate!




We left and went home around 9:30. I think it was the first Easter in my entire life I wasn't at church. I am happy to report that Gramps was feeling better today, so I hear. When we got back to J'Ville, it was pretty outside, so Mason got to play in the yard and use up some of the stored energy from the ride home! He (and mama and daddy) slept well Sunday night!


Now we are back to the grinding stone this week. Mason doesn't get to eat but a piece or two of candy each day, so he loaded them all up in a toy car he has (in the hood) and drives them around the house. It is a big car you sit on and push with your feet.


He is working the system though. After he has his few pieces of candy he comes over to daddy and says, "Do jew want sum candy daddy?" "A chowklet egg?" I reply,"Sure buddy, thank you." To which he gets an egg out from under the hood of his car and procedes to tear off the foil covering. Once uncovered, he brings me the egg and just as soon as he drops it in my hand he says, "Daddy, can you bite it in half and give me some?" I am way too soft...lets just say he ends up with more than a few pieces of candy each day. :-)
