We had a wonderful Easter weekend - full of celebration, time with family, and holiday traditions. We had a visit from the Easter Bunny, which resulted in an early morning egg hunt in the house and then, miraculously, another Easter Bunny had hidden eggs in the backyard. We gathered with family, ate too much food, and laughed until beverages came out of our noses. It was wild, and it was very fun.
Upon returning to our own home and chowing on left-overs, my already heightened senses felt overwhelmed. Every single room in our home, including the garage and even the front step, was a disaster zone. How did this happen? It looks like the adults were out of the house for a week and tiny people played with every single toy that they have ever owned and put them in random places. It took me all week to get the house back in order, and I’m now reminded of what color flooring we have in each room (because I can finally see it again).
The day after this wonderful holiday was a day to trust no one. The kids didn’t have school on April Fool’s Day, so you can bet I experienced green plastic spiders placed in my hair and a number of “jump scares” and other harmless pranks throughout the day.
We’ve been enjoying the play-by-play and stories coming out of this year’s March Madness. I found it especially fun to see Devils Lake native Grant Nelson on the big stage playing for Alabama. The Crimson Tide forward stands at 6’11”, which I think is just amazing. Nelson previously played for NDSU. It’s been fun to watch him play. If you want to catch Alabama in action, they play again on Saturday night against UConn in the Final 4. Alabama has gained some fans in North Dakota, at least for a little while.
On the women’s side, Iowa made it to the Final 4 and will play again Friday night. Caitlin Clark led Iowa to their latest win with 41 points and 12 assists over LSU. She’s gained many fans in the last year, and if you’ve seen her play, you understand why her star is rising.
In other news - it appears that spring cleaning weather is on the way. Open the windows, and let in that fresh air!
Have a wonderful week,
