Spring Days Recap

1. In March Aunt Sandra (Dan's younger sister), Uncle Rob, and our friend Andrea came out for a visit, fun times, see above pic. and note the family resemblance!
2. Of course we did the whole egg dying thing. I tried to be like Martha Stewart and we blew out eggs but what's the point when you have a 2 & 1/2 year old that crushes them sort of accidentally every time she tries to handle one?
3. A week later, our niece, Rhaquel stopped by on her Spring break Cali trip. You know she's a good kid for visiting her old and boring relatives instead of cruisin' LA for hot guys. I want my daughters to be just like her!
4. We signed up for Spring Break swim lessons. The girls loved them, then hated them, then loved them again. Hmmm, could these daily mood swings and bouts of fickleness be an indicator of my future raising 4 daughters? (PRAY FOR DAN)

5. Dan's been workin' on the garden. Now that everyone and their dogs have seen Food Inc. or Jaime Oliver's Food Revolution, I figure we'll be super popular with all of our Organic veggies this summer, and apparently popularity's still important to me (I have left-over high school issues from that time I ran for student council, and lost, whatever Kami).

6. We had an awesome neighborhood egg hunt at Uncle Dennys. What made it more awesome was the fact that he had just gotten Bantam hens for his little girl, so all of my girls got to love on them, hold them, and then beg us for some of their own to raise. Gee, thanks Denny.

7. I made individual parfaits to bring to the church breakfast this morning, they were so easy and a total hit!
7. My sister gave my kids absurd amounts of candy, and I immediately stashed all the good stuff for me to eat when they go to bed.
8. And of course, this morning we celebrated the Resurrection with our church family with an awesome message from our pastor (Pastor Rick Anderson fccoxnard.org) and took our annual Springy dress Easter family pic. The girls even got in a photo with our hunky GQ neighbor, Owen. Shouldn't every 10 month old own a suit?




In all, I must say, I'm loving Spring Break! I've got one more work-free week left before I face that final stretch before summatime. I'm grateful for these days!
