Daisy got a mustache at the library and happily wore it all afternoon, even to dinner at Panera. And yes, she got a lot of strange looks.

I thought I'd suprise the girls with a fun lunch so I stuffed Easter eggs full of lunch things. They were surprisingly underwhelmed. (One of my friends suggested it was because they weren't ALL filled with treats!)


Darin travelled to Florida last month for work and got to dip his toes in the Atlantic!

Dying Easter eggs is not my favorite activity, so I was happy to hand it off to the babysitter. The girls were so disappointed the next day when Darin wanted to make egg salad out of their hard work. So we were sure to take a picture so they'd be able to see them whenever they wanted.

Entertaining ourselves while Papa was doing some shopping, Dani was trying to stand like the manequin and asked me to take her picture.

*Sharing* my kindle in bed in the morning. I had to take a picture because this doesn't happen very often.


Darin bought these gourmet suckers from a student friend of his at Bremerton High School. We took these pictures to text her since the suckers were almost too big to fit in the kids' mouths!

Pizza night with friends. Look at all those kids! After dinner the boys went to one room for Jurassic Park, the girls went to another for Tinker Bell, and us grownups hit the theater room for a 3/4 showeing of Lincoln. (Long but great movie. Our girls were ready for home and bed before our movie was done. One of these days we'll get back over there to finish it...good thing we already know how it ends.) Thankful for these great friends of ours, and all their TV's!

Beautiful rainbow over Silverdale.

We surprised the girls after church this night in telling them we were going to get ice cream for dinner. Daisy's response? "Well, that seems unusual." (And yes, Mom & Dad, we did go home for popcorn afterwards.)
Thanks Kaufmans for the cheer-us-up gift card to ColdStone!


We finally got around to doing a bit of decorating and arranging in the kitchen. Darin put together this amazing command center for me and I had fun making magnets and pins for it. One of these days I'll lug my big camera into the kitchen to get you guys some proper pictures.


Daisy is still very nervous about riding her bike. So we walk alongside her, encouraging her all the way, while little sister runs circles around her on the trike. And then goes to the finish line to cheer big sister in.


Yes, the stick horse came with us to the post office today. And he and his rider made an awful lot of strangers smile. Job well done.

Miss Dani finally decided she was brave enough to try a ballet class for herself. (This picture was taken through the glass, can you tell?) We lucked out that she was just in time to be able to participate in the recital next month. Now I have two adorable ballerinas under my roof.

Walking to pick sister up from school, my little mini-me brought along her camera and snapped all the way there and back.
WHEW...life is never boring around here, that's for sure.
