Well, Easter is behind us. One step closer to returning to Akron! As you can see, the girls had a great Easter. It really makes all the crap I dragged over here worth the sore back and broken nails!! Jimmy had Sunday off. We truly had a wonderful day, even though it was dark and gloomy outside.
I spent Saturday making Kali's favorite - white cupcakes with white frosting! As they were cooling we went to the market for a couple of kilos of fresh strawberries and we soaked in the Center of Ljubljana, complete with the Native American Indians having some sort of musical Pow-wow, the Hari Krishna's doing their Hari Kari Dance (as Jimmy puts it) and the Mormons out in force! All of this in front of our Franciscan church! A very strange Holy Saturday, indeed. Kali enjoyed the Hari Krishna spectacle, while Peyton was more impressed by the Native Indians. The poor Mormons got lost in the crowd - they need a gimmick to hang in Presernov trg!
Jimmy had an away game Saturday night, so I was stuck doing all the "Easter Bunny" preparations by myself. Except, Jimmy "hid" the plastic eggs so high in our closet that I couldn't reach them. He was stuck hiding 60 eggs around the house at 3 am when he got home!
The price he pays for putting things out of my reach!
The girls were up at 6am on Sunday morning! Poor Jimmy was working on about 2 hours of sleep! They were so excited that the Easter Bunny found them in Slovenia! Kali was thrilled she could eat candy after 5 weeks of Lent. It's a very good thing that "Easter Bunny" left electric toothbrushes in the baskets! Peyton raided everyone's basket for the pastel Life Savers! She ate more candy them the rest of us combined! It was a Dora Easter for Peyton and a Diddlina Easter for Kali - the great big smiles on those sweet faces made all the effort worth it and then some!
We went to Mass at 5:30 and then went out to dinner with our monk and some of the others "parishioners." It was our 1st Slovenian restaurant in the 7 months we've been here! We passed on the "game" plate and blood sausages, but Jimmy enjoyed his mixed grill plate and I loved the specialty of the house "Turkey Sokol" - a turkey filet covered in a cream sauce. The highlight of the meal was the soup! It was served in bread bowls and was fabulous. Jimmy had mushroom, I had onion. We will be trying that place again after church. It will be a hard decision every Sunday between that place and Joe Pena's, the Mexican restaurant we love. If only that was the worst of the dilemmas we faced here in Slovenia!
