Easter in July

(still catching up to the present and still reporting from the Spring...)

After attending Easter services at church, we moseyed on out to Pawpaw and Mimi's for an Easter dinner and hot South Texas afternoon Egg Hunt. Let's just say the Reeses Peanut Butter Cups didn't all survive the short period of time outside!

There is a tradition here in these parts that includes Cascarones (coss cah ROAN ez) at Easter. These are real eggs which have carefully been emptied, washed, dried, often colored, and filled with confetti prior to patching the hole on top with tissue paper. A lot of fun is had cracking them on each others' heads!

Drive-by-cracking victim...

Look out, Mimi!

But the best, by far, is what character traits (read: flaws) come out during the course of the confetti egg attacks... Take a gander at this gem of a film clip, and watch for: Daddy whacking a sweet girl on the head with no confetti results, self-inflicted wounds, and deception like you'd never believe was possible!
