Easter

Coloring Easter Eggs

The finished eggs and I must say that the house is still sparkly.

Donny left flowers for the Civil War soldiers on Easter Sunday. 

Donny didn't want to go to church on Easter morning.  He did request that we buy flowers and visit Grandpa and Grandma's grave before we went to Aunt Kee-Kee's for Easter Dinner.

April Update

I asked Abigail to put the case of seltzer in the cabinet.  About a half and hour later she was still putting can away.  She was very quite and working hard so I didn't bother her.  It wasn't until later that night when I wanted a seltzer that I realized what took her so long.  She used a Sharpie and wrote a love note to Big Daddy and I on every can.

Big Daddy and I were having a cocktail when Donny ran in the room jumped on the back of the couch and posed just long enough for me to snap this photo.  Love those legs.

Abigail put this note on my bedroom door. :-) 

The kids ran outside to play on the first warm day in April.  They were out playing for hours.  I was finally called to see their creation of wildlife in the yard.

No Thank You

Abigail and I were in her bed reading stories tonight when she stopped me, "Mommy there are some things about Christmas I don't like."  I decided to start with the good and end with the bad, so I asked what she liked about Christmas.  As I suspected, the presents were at the top of her good list.  And then she shocked me, "The bad part of Christmas is my presents.  I think I get too many and other children should get some of mine.  So this year I am going to fill out nine tags and throw the rest in the garbage."  I was so proud of her at that moment.  I'm not sure these thoughts will be around on December 24, but she did have them for a few moments.
