(no subject)
You know, it might actually be kind of cute that my family members forget that my brothers and I are legally adults when it comes holiday-time. Woke up this morning, first things Mom said were, "You have to go find your Easter basket." Sure enough, Mom made us all Easter baskets and hid them around the house. I... have little patience for hunting things down. Because my bros enjoy taking my books and other things and hiding them on a regular basis. But still, whoo, candy!
Traditions continued at Grammy K's, who once again had ye annual Easter Egg hunt. Every year, my grandparents hide plastic eggs filled with gold Sacajawea dollars in them around the house and my bros and I have to hunt them down. I'm happy to report, I made it through this time without injury! (Thanks to multiple photographers in the house last year, we have a 3 part picture capturing my brothers tripping me. In the first shot, I'm upright, in the 2nd, I'm falling, in the 3rd, I'm face down on the floor. My brothers fight dirty.) My bros ate so much this year that when it came time to hunt eggs, they bolted around and promptly had to fight the urge to heave all over the place. Serves 'em right. Unfortunately, the majority of the eggs I found contained dummy messages, like, "Ha ha nothing here!" and "No way, Jose!" I ended up six dollars richer in the end.
Went to visit the other Grandma and Grandpa N. to find that THEY NOW HAVE A PUPPY! *_* Squeeee! One of my aunt's friends breeds miniature collies and my aunt picked up a dog for her family and then one for grandma and grandpa. Grandparents were initially not happy, but Grandpa is already spoiling their new baby girl rotten. They now have a female named Bella and she is the most mellow dog I've ever interacted with. I took her for a walk and it was actually just that, a walk. (All of my former dogs have interpretted "walk" as "RUN AS FAST AS POSSIBLE AND DRAG THE GIRL BEHIND US!") She just kind of sat next to Grandpa the whole time, let us pet her and was that was about it. My aunt brought over her new collie, Shana, who is extremely timid, but friendly if you can coax her into interacting with you. She kept hiding under whatever she could find. She's a wiley one though, if you take her walking, she will manage to encircle you and wrap up your legs in her leash.
