Happy Ishtar!

I know it's late, I have to work in the morning, but this poison oak is making me nuts. If anyone has a secret tonic for relieving the itch, please leave me a message. So, since I am awake, I thought I would blog.
When my kid's were little, we never got to involved in the Easter thing but we did dye eggs and hide them around the yard and house. If my memory serves me right, we hid them about 20 to 30 times. Corey loved hunting for them and hiding them from his younger brother. We hid them in the house one year, he and Ryan found all but one, I never kept track of the exact amount, so a missing egg went unnoticed and did not surface for a week or two when we all started smelling an unpleasant aroma. We were able to zero in on the location after two weeks, it was hidden under one of the cushions on the couch, which was a hide a bed, and fell down onto the bed. Oh the memories of it all.
Well, since Lawren is walking, I thought she would enjoy hunting for eggs this year. Only, I bought the plastic ones, no more using the real deal. We filled them with fish crackers, didn't want to corrupt her taste buds. She had no problem knowing exactly what to do.


As you can see it didn't take Lawren long to figure out to put the eggs in the basket. I am telling you she is advanced.

Most of the pictures I have taken recently of Corey are supine, on the couch with a remote in hand. He was sitting up, so I had to get in on camera.

Lawren had a wonderful time and because grandma and grandpa have such a beautiful yard Lawren was able to find all the eggs with a little help. We had a great time with MaMa and ampa and can't forget uncle!!!!

Looks like you have a great Easter weekend. It was too cold to go outside here, so we're planning to try for next weekend. Bonus is, I bought the Easter stuff at half price!

I know my mom is planning on this weekend, but it's snowing here, so I'm guessing it's not much better there. Corey looks like he's having a blast, he must have just finished looking for his eggs and found a lot. Whats the weather like there?
