easter 2013

the saturday before easter, cameron took H to easter egg hunt at the local park.

they were having a neighborhood easter egg hunt.

it just so happened that Lili and Poppy were in town for Poppy's work.

So, they got to go too!!!

How is it that we have no pics of them?

I promise they were here!

Lili made sure H looked super cute!

 on actual easter, bethany took a lot of pics in the morning,

so i will have to post those when i get them.

after church, a picnic in the park, and a nap,

H and I colored on the sidewalk with chalk from her basket

then we dyed eggs while waiting for S, B, and C to get home for dinner!

then we headed to park burger for a delish supper!

 waving at the cars

 climbing over the rocks to smell the flowers

 she kept cracking the eggs like she sees me do when we cook :)

 self portraits

 i actually loveeee this one, boogers and all

3. get string wet in mixture and wrap around eggs

4. set out to dry.

5. pop balloons and pull balloon out

6. done.

lots of things this week

yesterday for dinner i made homemade pear/goatcheese pizza!!!

this was the "before" it went into the oven
i also have a new trick from julie,
i dont like hardboled eggs, but if you use a cheese grater,
grate them up, then put them on a salad,
you can kinda taste em but not really,
and still get all the protein.
so i grated these, then put them on a salad!

SUNDAY NIGHT

we dyed eggs at fellowship group

the boys were downstairs

from top clockwise

jessica, mandi, shellie, rose, liz, & bethany

guess who made this one :)

i tried and tried to take pics of the rash for you all,

but this was the best shot i got.

little red itchy bumps.

benadryl spray has helped, and i feel like it may be getting a bit better, but i still itch.

this pic is my knee by the way.

Cam gave me an IQ test, he has to give several for school

so he can learn how to give them

do you want THIS guy giving you an IQ test?

THE briefcase....

it's worth $1800 if he loses it...

-

anyway, the IQ test was cool, i was just above average

except my processing speed was in the 98th%

so that was really good!!!!!

my math (lane you'll be proud) was soooooo good!

you have 60-120seconds to answer the math q's

and i was answering them in 1 second!!!!
