Easter Part 2

It is our tradition that Grandma Ann helps the girls color Easter eggs on Good Friday. They always look forward to it and I think she does too. This year Renee could really do hers without dumping them in the colors and cracking them.




I'm not sure why neither of the girls would look at the camera but Grandma is happy.
The finished product! I decided to just leave them out on the table this year, instead of "hiding" them in the fridge. I'm out $1.59 for hours of enjoyment as our centerpiece. No egg salad out of them this year!!


The girls were very excited about wearing their new dresses on Easter Sunday.

You Heard It Here First

Happy Easter!

Next-door neighbor/nephew Ben is home for Easter and he brought a "friend". Her name is Lindsay and she is simply adorable! He brought her over to meet us yesterday and the girls were instantly smitten with her. They showed her their rooms, their new Easter dresses, etc. They sang and danced for her and snuggled on her lap for a story. It was love at first sight.

Kaitlyn has obviously been watching too many Disney movies about princesses and love because she asked us several times before meeting Lindsay if they were in love. She often makes that comment about lots of people and even animals (must be Lady and the Tramp's influence there.) Well, the front door was barely closed and she blurts out, "I think they're in love!" So it's official! You heard it here first!

I will post some pics later of the girls in their new Easter dresses.

Proud Mommy

Not much to blog about these days. But I did want to share a few "tidbits" about Kaitlyn. I had my parent/teacher conference this week with Miss Becca. (I find it weird to be sitting on the parent side of the table after so many years of being the teacher.) She said Kaitlyn is doing "exceptional work and is going to be very successful in kindergarten." I think so too but it's nice to hear it from an outside source. One thing that cracked me up was the classroom routine part: I follow the classroom rules. She got a 3 (which means she has mastered that skill). Becca wrote "she can tell you every rule too". She loves reporting all about school, who the VIP was, what they brought for Show-and Tell, what letters she has in common with them, etc. One of the other moms overheard her telling me some of that stuff the other day and was jealous because her son tells her NOTHING! The other day after supper the girls were playing school and of course, Kaitlyn was the teacher. Renee had a pretend name and I could hear Kaitlyn calling on her and saying things like, "Raise your hand if you know......"

Renee is still coming up to our room in the middle of the night. I FINALLY broke out the sleeping bag on the floor next to my side and the past few nights she crawls in it and I get to go right back to sleep.

The girls are going to watch Cinderella II right now so I must end this post for now. Maybe I'll add more later.
