nothing says Easter...

...like candy corn called Jesus Seeds!



Hope everyone had a glorious Easter! :)

It's almost ridiculous how far behind I am...

*sigh*

So here's what I hope to accomplish by the weekend...
-catch up on posting the 365
-edit and post Easter photos
-edit and post photos from Jeremy's soccer game
-edit and post photos from the Blue Jackets playoffs
-Finish up Abby and Scotts session (yeah - still not done with those - though I did get the most important part (Abbys Invite) done and sent to the printers... I'll have to post that too)
-Show where we're at in the studio renevations.

So yeah... thats a lot!

Plus, just as a public service message... try not to work third shift if you can help it! And if you do... don't take a week off, and then expect to go right back into daily life when work starts right back up. Sheesh my body is just killing me this week!!

And since I can't post without posting some photos, I'll get a few days caught up on the 365. Most are renevation photos, turned black and white. Sorry about that... I wasn't really into the whole 'lets set up a cool shot' mood those couple days.

here we go a coloring...

So the Friday before Easter, we colored eggs. And it went really really well! I completely attribute that to Haley and Aunt Sue coming over. For some reason, when its just me and the girls, I have a hard time getting the girls to understand what I'm trying to get them to do (like color Easter eggs.) But Olivia idolizes Haley, and will do anything and everything that girls does (coincidentally, like color Easter eggs.)

So here was the set-up... I was at the end of the table, between Claire and Olivia... Olivia spent the entire time on Haley's lap, completely enthralled with every move she made... Claire played with her new pinwheel (good call Aunt Sue!) and a yellow egg that we let her beat the hell out of... and Aunt Sue and I Ooooo'd and Aaahhhhh'd every new egg.

See Olivia... you dunk the egg like this....


I SCARED!


No it's ok, look its colored!


WOOOW! IT'S PWEEEETY!!!



The aftermath..... colorful cups


And colorful eggs






And the best egg, that was as we called, the mystery messed up egg, because the cup of coloring we used had many capsules of color, only some of which actually disolved. It was such a cool egg, that I made it my day 100!

Easter beauties

I love that Olivia will kiss Claire if you ask her to. She'll hug her too, but Olivia's hugs involve her crouching down and leaning her head into you... not very photogenic.

the blown dress

I love photos of wedding dresses hanging in front of a bright window. Since it's something I'd like to try with Ambers dress, I wanted to practice sooner. Substitute dresses... the girls easter dresses!
