Storms

Storms and more storms.  We have had a lot of storms recently.  We've been in the closet twice in the last week.  Both times we've had to pull them out of bed.  Frustrating, but a great adventure. :)

Our Easter weekend was great.  Dusty was off on Friday, and we were able to run a couple of errands as a family.  Saturday we stayed at home most of the day, and we relaxed a lot.  The kids had an Easter egg hunt that morning.  They had a more fun time playing on the playground than they did hunting eggs. :)  Yesterday we went to Dusty's parents' house, and the kids played outside all day.  Unfortunately, we didn't reapply the sunscreen, so Hannah has a slight sunburn on her shoulders and just under her left eye.  I must not have put sunscreen as close to her eye as I thought.  I just didn't want to get it in her eye.  Also, she had it on one of her crown.  I can't believe I didn't make her wear a hat.  Seth didn't get any burn at all.  His skin tone is so much darker.  Poor little light skinned girl.

I made some more stuff this weekend though.  I made cake truffles for the first time.  I used a (are you sitting down) boxed cake mix.  I KNOW!  It was suggested by most every blog I found with the recipe.  That way the cake-to-icing ratio would be right.  I did make my own icing though.  I used a funfetti mix, which I love, but apparently not when it's all smushed together and mixed with icing.  It was all brown then.  Anyway, here's the link, Cake Balls by Bakerella, I used to tell me how to make it, only I used funfetti, and my own icing.  Also, I used melted milk chocolate to cover some of them, and then Wilton candy melts to cover the rest.  I'm not the biggest fan of these, but they seemed to be enjoyed.

In other news, Dusty and I started playing a video game on the Wii a few days ago, and we're obsessed once again.  It's fun. :)
