Happy Easter

We have had a wonderful spring break... visiting wonderful friends, ice skating, boating, and lots of loving. The girls and I decided to dye our Easter eggs with natural dyes(ex. beets,turmeric,blueberries,etc.). It was a fun science experiment and the girls even wrote predictions in their journals but the result was not very exciting. I decided that whoever dyed the eggs I saw online must have slipped in some food dye. It was still fun and the girls just wanted to add some more colors with q-tips which helped a bit.

Looking forward to spending lots of time with family tomorrow and finding lots of eggs.

Teeth

I never remember being so excited to loose a tooth as Jetty. This is what Jetty's mouth is looking like these days. I think we might need to start saving up for braces.

Lucky and Sneaky

We tried and tried but Lucky and Sneaky got away again. Note to self...when the girls ask to start putting out the trap a week before St. Patty's day remember cleaning up little leprechaun foot prints for a week:)

A Very Important Project

The latest important project... Here's a clue .

Another Birthday

This winter my baby turned 4. My sweet little velcro baby started preschool two mornings a week and only shed a few tears which made me so proud. She is quite the little Daddy's girl and still likes to sleep holding my hand. So sweet.

A Cold Winter

It has been a cold winter with even some snow. Okay, it was more like sleet then snow but the girls loved every minute of playing in the cold mixture. It has been nice having more of a season in Florida but I am ready for the warmer weather and heading back to the beach. The unseasonably cold weather has been rough on the vegetation. We are waiting to see what plants come back when the weather warms and we are looking forward to growing some vegetables. Warm sun, sandy toes, and fresh veggies...it will be a good spring.

Brrrrr

It has been record breaking cold in Florida this last week and they say there might even be snow flurries tonight or tomorrow morning. Floridians in general are pretty wimpy about the cold and I am sure Northerners would crack up with all our winter gear and constant talk about how cold it is outside. I enjoy the heat and I am even contemplating joining a gym for the rest of winter. I had no motivation to walk or ride my bike this week with the wind chill in the teens and twenties. It warmed up to the forties today so I was able to get a little exercise before the next cold front comes in the afternoon. Doug, on the other hand, enjoys the cold and easily rides his 4 hours and only complains about cold toes. I hope everyone had a great holiday. Ours was a wonderful time spent with lots of family and friends.
