Discoveries

A few things I have discovered this past week...

One year makes a big difference when it comes to finding Easter eggs.  Yes, I did have to push Ellie into the playground when the hunt started because she was gazing into the sky, but she did it, folks!!  She collected five whole eggs!!

Easter can be celebrated without church.  Even with strep throat, you can still listen to the Easter story and revel in the truth that Jesus is alive!  (In fact, it can be celebrated in a dress purchased from Kids Market that hasn't even been washed when you discover that you are going to brunch!)

This little lamb is not afraid of the Easter bunny anymore!!  That's huge people, HUGE!!

This chickie just gets mad and screams, "NO! NO!" when the Easter bunny gets close.  Maybe big sister can help her out...

Pintucks can make you want to say really ugly things.  Especially when Easter is the next morning, it's eleven at night, and you just totally screwed up the bottom of your daughter's Easter dress.

Going to church on a Wednesday night can fix a not-so-hot Easter.  Especially if it means that MC gets dedicated, my mom and Robbie's parents come to bless our family, and Kari Jobe sings!

My mom can come visit my house when it looks like total crap (really that's the only word to describe it), and not call DHR to come pick up the girls.

Cropping is a wonderful, wonderful thing!  If only red-eye would work...

A fat, out-of-shape, indoor cat can survive a night outside.  Somehow Tank snuck outside yesterday and Mom and I did not discover he was gone until around ten-thirty last night.  We looked for him for about thirty minutes outside unsuccessfully before we decided to go to bed.  Did I mention Robbie is at the Masters, and Tank is his best friend?  Needless to say, I told Tank when we found him in the garage this morning that he had saved our marriage! :)

It's okay to put down the camera for a few days and not worry about the blog!
