Perspective

Girls & I were reading from "Our Heritage" before bed tonight. I read about the 40 years that it took for the Saints to build the Salt Lake Temple. To put it in perspective, I said, "So, if they had started building it when I was born, they still wouldn't be finished. They'd still have another 4 years to go."

E said, "Oh my gosh! I hope they got to take a potty break!"

Easter 2009

The girls are quick to remind me of things I said I'll do and haven't done yet.

Like make dinner, for example. Or, post on my blog.

You know, important things like that.

So, here's my attempt to get caught up, just so they'll leave me alone.

For a minute.

Heeere we go...here's our rainy Easter egg hunt pictures:

We did the hunt at a park with friends. It's tough to be the oldest kid when they let the little ones have a head start, but you don't want any grown ups giving you hints. Hard knock life.

I had stockpiled blown-out egg shells, just like my mom used to, and the girls had a good ol' time getting messy and creative, just like I used to! And, like every year, I ask myself "WHY do I DO this?!" That permanent dye stresses me out. Just like it probably did my mom...

And, my favorite part of Easter (aside from celebrating the Resurrection and the Cadbury chocolate eggs - not the cream eggs, just the chocolate, candy coated ones)

The Dresses

and the poses and laughter they

(and Daddy) inspire

(OK, girls. Now we have our Easter preserved in cyberspace. Are you happy now?)

Ode to Spring...and to Summer

E scored this top at a garage sale last weekend. She loooooves it and pranced around all day saying,

"I look like a teenager!"

Yikes. But, she does look pretty cute...
