Our Easter Bunny
or more appropriately, Our Triduum Bunny
This little guy appeared in our yard a few evenings ago, and of course the children were enamored with him as were even the adults, in part. But his fate quickly changed. We saw him eying the garden but found the plants untouched. The next evening, though, Austin went out to look around, and his entire serrano pepper plant was missing...not leaves or branches, the whole thing! (It was small and newly planted, but the only non-heart attack-causing pepper plant he has!...his others are habaneros and piquins). Well, we went from admiring the bunny to banishing him. He has officially been deported. Goodbye Easter Bunny, Hello Resurrection! :)
**Updated: He found his way back in and ate Austin's Piquin plants and some of my Esperanza. Apparently deportation will not be enough, so he will be suffering the death penalty as soon as Austin gets his hands on a pellet gun!
***Updated again...Austin decided to call animal control, who informed us that pellet guns are illegal in city limits. :) So they put a trap out for us. Hope it works!

Lito and Lita, this one is for you...the tag from Stephen's outfit
And fun with Cascarones (confetti eggs)
Willing victims...

Holy Thursday
"He rose from supper and took off his outer garments.
He took a towel and tied it around his waist.
Then he poured water into a basin
and began to wash the disciples’ feet
and dry them with the towel around his waist." Jn 13

Mr. Mischief
This boy keeps me on my toes, I tell ya! He is always exploring and frequently discovering forbidden things. Here he snuck off with my cel phone while I was trying to do something quick on the computer (and is standing on the couch too)! Not a quiet moment...at least not without consequence!
A little addition
to the home...
We found this armchair on craigslist a few weeks ago (with the help of some friends who are avid craigslisters because I am not!). It is the perfect addition to the guest room which has a high bed and needed a place to sit and read for a minute or put on shoes. :)
