Spring '09

Beach Party!

Natalie has been looking forward to her Beach Party in her class all week. They were supposed to bring in a beach towel today along with their show and tell that is something that has to do with the ocean. Today was the day. Unfortunately, she is sick for the second day in a row and couldn't go to school again. :( She was so sad. I told her we would have our own beach party today instead.



Not your typical beach foods though. Natalie had Chicken Noodle soup, pickles, peanut butter crackers, & water. I had tuna salad, pickles, and a dt. coke.

Later after nap time, maybe I will take her swimming to try out her new swimsuit...in the bathtub!

I think she's enjoying herself!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!


He Has Risen!

We woke up early this morning and headed to Mass.


After Mass we went to Grandma & Grandpa's house for the day.
We ate lunch, played outside, colored eggs, and just hung out.


















When we got home we colored our own eggs!





We had a wonderful day!
Hope you did too!

Egg "Hunting".

Today after Mass was the Easter Egg "Hunt". We got there and they had just started to put the eggs on the soccer field when it started raining. Not to worry though, we all just filed into the gym for some egg fun!

On our Way...

Before the rain.

Passing some time beforehand.

The beginning of Holy Week...Palm Sunday.

These are the palm crosses we made at Mass today.

Palm Sunday occurs on the Sunday before Easter Sunday. It signals the upcoming end of Lent and the beginning of Holy Week. The day commemorates the spreading of palms and clothing in Jesus' path as He entered Jerusalem prior to His crucifixion:

They brought the donkey and the colt, placed their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!" (Matthew 21:7-9)

Spring Break-Day 5- We've come full circle!

Welcome to the 5th and final day of our spring break fun. We have come full circle! Daddy surprised us by taking the day off and having breakfast with us. He went out and got us Grandy's.

Natalie had pancakes and bacon.



Mommy and Daddy had eggs, bacon, and biscuits w/ gravy.



Later, we met some friends at Cold Stone and had some ice cream.
The lady suckered me into the chocolate sprinkle waffle bowl. I didn't like it, but it was so expensive that I felt I had to eat it!

Natalie had strawberry w/ rainbow sprinkles and I
had peanut butter w/ peanut butter cups.



Here's Natalie buying some water.



After ice cream we had to go grocery shopping. Always a fun event!
