The Easter bunny has come and gone, but he left us enough goodies to devour for the rest of the week.
After our big breakfast this morning, we were going to go walk it off, but it started raining right after and did not let up for the rest of the day, so instead we plopped ourselves on the couch and watched a few episodes of NCIS, Chuck, Castle, the latest Lost and The Amazing Race. Maybe not the most productive day, but we loved every minute of it.
For dinner, we cooked ourselves some nice
Easter Ham with Mango Ginger Glaze, and it was most delicious.
Now it's time to check out today's episode of
The Pacific.

Wow, that was some marathon sleeping we did last night! Phew!
Happy Easter to everyone out there. Hope the ever-elusive bunny brought you loads of goodies. We got some Easter bunny marshmallows and gummy bears, very tasty!
Yesterday we went to see Clash of the Titans in 3D, bright & early to beat the crowd (and also to avoid the crazy new prices for 3D shows!). The movie is pretty good and is a nice action flick but not worth it to see it in 3D at all. There are only a handful of scenes that are actually in 3D, and none of them are as impressive as Avatar, not even close. Bottom line: Save a few extra dollars and see the regular 2D version. You won't be missing anything.
