Easter Eggs

We colored Easter eggs last night and I am proud to say that not a drop of dye hit the floor. Ben really had a great time. He was trying to be so careful not to crack any eggs but we ended up with about three casualties.
I can't wait for him to see his Easter basket in the morning. We're visiting Grandma & Grandpa Judd all day tomorrow so he'll hunt for eggs at their home. He's pretty darn excited!

Equinox & Silly Socks

Here is a photo I took on March 20th. The 20th is one of four days in 2008 that is part of the Equinox. I'll let Wikipedia explain it for you.

In astronomy, equinox can have two meanings:

The event that the Sun is positioned directly over the Earth's equator and, by extension, the apparent position of the Sun at that moment, or the time that it happens.

The time at which the vernal point, celestial equator, and other such elements are taken to be used in the definition of a celestial coordinate system—see Equinox (celestial coordinates)

So, anyhoo, I've heard that on these days, you should be able to stand an egg on it's end. Guess what? I did it on my second try! This is not trick photography and no I did not glue it to my countertop.

In other news, Benjamin has decided to wear socks with his flip flops. This is not necessarily newsworthy, just a HUGE pet peeve of mine! It freaks me out because I know how it feels. Me no likey. Unattractive as well as uncomfortable. Oh, and I'm pretty sure he inherited this from my sister, Janelle. She also wears socks with flip flops. Ugggh.

Bring on the Spring

The weather has been GORGEOUS! Sean assembled a new playset for Ben last Saturday and I don't know who loves it more. :) Ben has been playing nonstop and asks to have his snacks outside at his picnic bench.

What a great Dad! He worked from sunrise to sunset and was never frustrated. Not once! Who are you and what have you done with my husband? We'll be laying sod and pavers soon and I'll be so happy when the dirt isn't being tracked in every 5 minutes!

We're really looking forward to Easter Sunday and will be spending it with my family in St. David. Ben will be dying some eggs tonight to contribute to the great hunt. I love watching the youngest of my nieces and nephews hunt for eggs. I'll expect some serious "chucking" from Allison, Sammy, and Owen! My sister, Cindy, is due to have her baby any minute now. I think it would be fabulous to have an Easter baby!

If I don't post again before Sunday, HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!

Speak With Conviction

Amen.

Real Genius?

Ok, so I saw this fun test on another blogger's site and decided to plug in Three Ardrys. Guess what level we are?! Not sure this test is entirely accurate! :)

Dad & Ben day

On Saturday, I helped my sister pack her kitchen because she and her husband ARE MOVING AGAIN! She called me, crying and moaning and begging. :) Just kidding Janelle! I'm such a great sister!
Sooooooo, while I did that, Sean took Ben to Bedrocks to go bowling. He loved it and was really digging the shoes. After one game, he was ready to move on to a little dancing....

After riding the pony......It was time to go eat lunch at McDonald's.

On the way home they stopped at the grocery store to pick up a few things. I love it when I don't have to go grocery shopping! After a much needed bath, Sean helped Ben make a yummy pizza! Lot's of cheese and pepperoni....

It's soooo hard to wait...

I guess Daddy and Ben were too hungry to take pictures of the final result! What a fun day for Ben & his Daddy. I just wish I could have been there!

Ben has been really busy

Don't send a lame eCard. Try JibJab Sendables!

Sick and tired of being sick and tired

Sick. Again. Much coughing....and mouth-breathing so my lips hurt real bad.
