From the mouth of a 3 year old

Samantha has light and hot pink ponytail holders. Recently she has decided that she loves the pale pink and that the hot pink is "howwible" (horrible.) So the other day as we were discussing pink, a surprisingly common topic with Samantha, she said, "I like cold pink."

Another day, another conversation
Me:    isn't Alice cute
S:    Yes, Alice is cute.
Me:    Is Samantha cute
S:   Yes, Sampa cute, and my grandma cute.
Me:    Is Mommy cute
S:    No....Mommy pretty!

Easter Images


 Homemade challah bread and naturally dyed Easter eggs



We used red cabbage to make the blue dye and onion skins to make the orange.


Rising dough



Samantha's Jesus. She loved this little craft.



Getting clothes ready for church is now a 2 day process!



"Happy" children on Easter morning. I love Samantha's grumpy face.

The Family







Josh and I were watching Sleeping Beauty today while Luke and Samantha went to church for the Good Friday Service. Doesn't sound like we were very holy, I know! But Alice is happiest at home and so we are all happiest when she is at home. Anyway, during the movie the three fairies each bless the baby princess with one gift and the first fairie chooses beauty. I asked Josh if he thought that was the best gift to give a someone and if not what he would choose instead. He replied, "engineerity," which is, according to his definition, the ability to make things.
