Happy Easter Everyone!    Today it was just Tand I.  Dot is out of town.  Our friends with whom we usually egg hunt with were out of town, so there was no real celebration of any kind.   I had the bright idea to put on our easter dresses, and go wander around the Falls mall.  Luckily I had the foresight to check in my iphone before getting too far from home, and discovered that everything was closed today. 

 So, I did a quick uturn and headed to Chez Dot.   T had a fun time swimming in her pool, then it was home to play with her easter basket stuff.   Since poor T never eats any candy, the easter bunny filled the thing with fun stuff instead.  A skylander, the new Muppet movie, a nintendo game, etc.  She was thrilled.

 On friday night, we had our official 2012 Egg Dying Egg-stravaganza!   Jodie and Taylor did a fine job coloring up the eggs this year.   They went hi tech this year, and added a machine to the works....The Egg Spinner.  Piece of junk.  Might as well have been made by Ronco.  T, of course, loved it.

 Also new this year, was shrink wrapping.  The girls were wielding a blog dryer and shrink wrapping decorative plastic wrap to the eggs.   They were actually cute.  Glitter and sequins also were added to the mix.
T has officially started her spring break.   We're having a stay-cation instead of a vacation.  Dot is out of town and Icolene is in Jamaica.   There is a fill-in aide at my parents house for the next 2 weeks, so I have to stick close to home.   On tomorrow's agenda...LION COUNTRY SAFARI!

Haven't been there since about 1972 when I my mom drove us there when my Aunt Poe was down from Chicago visiting.   It will be real interesting to see if its as how I remember.

That's it for now.

HAPPY EASTER, EVERYBODY!!!

It's a sweet picture of T in her Easter dress. Looks like y'all had a very nice day. Now, what are you going to do with all those eggs?

A marvelous plan was made in the stars,
to create a miracle across the ocean so far....
Then entwine and weave all the hopes and labor,
it would take to bring us this joy called "Taylor"....
Now three lives are blessed and somewhere in the stars,
the planners are smiling, as we all are.
