I eat too much chocolate every day! It's my favorite vice!!

My mother used to hide chocolate from us kids when I was growing up. She would get so mad when we found it and ate it. My love of chocolate I inherited from my mom. The wife will make a pan of brownies and there gone in 2 days. A day without chocolate is a miserable day

Ah! I’m glad I’m not the only one.

My parents sat down to watch it so they understood the land and the ride.

Me: "Guys, I don't think you'll like this movie." "Guys, I don't think you'll like this movie." "Guys, I don't think you'll like this movie."
Dad afterward: "I didn't care for that movie."
Me:

Does anyone have the Geocaching app? I just purchased the premium (only $5.99). Spring Break starts on Friday, hoping to use the app this weekend. Looks neat! I had never heard of it until today.

Alright, fellow shoppers! I am trying to put together a week worth of menus as a starting point, and I am stumped. I am not sure what to make for Easter. Ham is not an option. Normally, we would do lamb, but I don't want someone else to pick it for me. I think I might try Thanksgiving dinner for Easter. But, that isn't really wowing me, either.

I'm not even going to try and go traditional this year. We're going with some of the guys favorite items I don't make very often. Lemon chicken, quinoa pilaf, roasted brussels sprouts and a chopped veggie salad with strawberry dressing

I'm dreaming of that cake now! My mom would make us ice cream sandwiches with those wafers.

Those wafers were like Oreo cookies without the cream. The whip cream would make those wafers swell up and with the whip cream OMG I WANT IT and I WANT IT NOW !!!!! Ha Ha PS you put it in the refrigerator over night and it all gets cold

because if I eat all my chocolate today I won't have any for tomorrow or friday!

Nobody knows where I hid the Easter candy I bought stuff I know I won't eat so it's nice and safe

@Mr Ferret 88 how are you and Donna holding up?

My plan for T’s birthday is as follows-

Night before- I will make sure T is asleep by 9:30pm. (One of his teammate’s moms called me last night with an amazing offer).T’s friend, and friend’s sister & mom, will come over our house and decorate our front yard with signs and silliness. First she said “toilet paper” then said “oh, wait, no toilet paper..but we’ll figure something out” ...
I’ll send him out to get the newspaper when he wakes up, and he’ll see the yard.

Then we’ll have a bday breakfast, at this time I’ll show him the planned scavenger hunt that we’ll be leaving on.
This should take up a few hours, we can pick up lunch and get an ice cream from a seasonal creamy whip (they’re supposedly open)... then come home and a few minutes later the surprise parade will arrive. Local police department, friends, and family.
We’ll order pizza (his request for his bday dinner) then have cake, ice cream, and presents - I’m still stumped on the cake. Wanted to do a toilet paper cake, but the bakery is no longer doing them due to too many orders, hoping I can find another bakery, if not, I’ll figure something out.

It’s not Magic Kingdom, but I think it will be a good day

That's a cool video
Thanks for sharing that!

Omg.

T just completed a 45 minute workout with his soccer club, via Zoom.




He had a lot more fun than just doing the daily videos, this was great getting immediate feedback and seeing other kids’ faces!

@MySmallWorldof4 , I decided that I don’t want to spend the appropriate amount of money on a bike, even with Dick’s having a big bike sale right now... T just doesn’t ride enough, and I don’t want to put the necessary bracket on the Wrangler, it makes the back way too long. So, I’m buying one off a a schoolmate who apparently used it less than 4 times, but is a cheap bike to begin with, not a nice one.

What I am going to get, if I can get one delivered in time, is a 75ft slackline and ANW-type accessories to make a monkey course.

I’m also trying to talk my brother into making a cornhole set and painting it with either Reds & Bengals or OSU & UM (he hates soccer and doesn’t want to make an FCC & RM) We’ll see if he decides that he has enough time to accomplish that.

I’m trying to stick with yard activities.. especially the monkey course that T can do alone.

Love the masks, not the election still running. I heard voting went until 12:30 AM in/near Green Bay. How was it by you?

Thanks for the like on the masks. Hubs helped at the election for about 4 hours making sure people kept proper distance and he said it was fairly busy but steady. The most amount of people at one time was less than 10. I don't really know, I sent in an absentee ballot but I did see some news reports of lines in larger cities. I didn't see anything about voting going that late, but it is likely in larger cities where some normal polling places were closed so people had to go to different places.
