Happy Easter!

I know. weird coming from a (pseudo) Jew right? Well, Jesus was Jewish at one point in time, so, ya know.

G, Myrn and Brittany came to visit. They made the long trek and we are super glad to have them. On top of entertaining the girls, G and Myrn always cook us outstanding food that is easily better than a bunch of restaurants.

Went paintballing yesterday with the guys. It was mad fun. I got Brandon good twice in the back. He has a welt as rememberance. Good times. Bryan got me in the head though. Had paint in my hair. To anyone in Monroe/Charlotte looking for a good paintball course, Glory Road paintball on Rocky River. Cool refs, VERY reasonably priced. Its run by church people so they stress no swearing, no fighting (other than paintball games). Except for the dirt, grime, paint, and tactical warfare, its good clean fun!

Then made a return trip to Maggianos. MMMMMMM. that place is so good everytime. Going for lunch is awesome cuz its cheaper! a few less choices, but if you bat your eyes at the waiter, they can maybe check to see if the kitchen will make something not on the menu. G got italian pot roast which he loves. We tried shrimp and crab canelloni which was outstanding. Their rigatoni D is always good, and of course the Maggianos salad. Also had pound cake and bailey's cheesecake for dessert...sooo good. While the appetizers are good, i recommend skipping them (which you can do at lunch) so you can focus on the pastas, entrees, and desserts. Also will save you $3 per person.

Last night played a rousing round of scattergories with Ang and Britt. Ang won because of her superior intellect. Or becuase Britt and I had been drinking. you be the judge.

Leah and Erin were SUPER excited to see that the Easter bunny had visited last night and left them baskets of treats! Apparently the Easter Bunny and Santa both went to the same school, because they both employ the treat delivery method of nocturnal distribution. Are they afraid of the sun? Or did they learn magical powers that let them stop time only at night? Who knows, but deductive logic tells me that they are in cahoots. Or at least were at one point. Or maybe Easter Bunny found Santa's "Present Distribution" white paper on Google. In any case, it makes for fun surprises for the kids in the morning.

Thats all for now. Counting down the days till we scrub our plates of bread particles, and visit the "ethnic" aisle at Harris Teeter scrounging for matzah and matzah ball soup.
