Easter and other randoms

1. Easter is quickly approaching.

We have been talking about the meaning of Easter as a family and explaining it.

Adison understands the importance and can explain things to Ainsley as well, big sisters rock!

My dear friend, Clara, made us this darling Easter count down activity.

How cute is this?

It's even pink, PERFECTION!

How it works is that each day has a scripture and an egg to go with it.

Each egg has an item inside that coincides with the verse{s}.

This year K is reading the verse and the {big} girls are alternating who gets to open the egg.

Next year Adison will probably read while the littles take turns opening.

This is such an awesome thing to do as a family.

2. I don't know if it is because it is Spring or what, but I am totally in love with blush.

{More in love with it than usual.}

My current obsession is a really pinky pink.

{P.S. Please ignore the dark circles/bags under my eyes, I am not sleeping well again. Blah!}

3. Abby is teething again.

Yes, her lone molar has been fighting it's way through for 2 weeks now.

The last few days she has been crying and crying.

Add that to Ainsley's current temper tantrums/sibling rivalry thing and we've got a lot of crying going on {them, not me...yet}.

So much so that on Monday night I treated myself to one of these.

It was wonderful and now I want another one.

{I haven't mentioned my love of cupcakes before, have I?}

4. Thanks to Erin {aka Daydreaming Fool} via Twitter the other day, I discovered that I have Wisteria growing in my back yard.

It smells wonderful, I wish it lasted longer.

Plus, I don't have to do anything to it/with it to get it to grow and come back each year.

This is the perfect relationship for me to have with a plant.

5. I wore this shirt the other day.

I just had to share because it made me feel pretty and girly.

I especially love that it is an unexpected girly feeling shirt since it is this dark, cobalty blue color.

I don't think that accurately describes the color though.



6. I have noticed this weird thing with coffee lately.

Why is it that two cups of coffee even from the same pot and with roughly the same amounts of milk/creamer can taste so differently?

Anyone else ever ponder these things?

No, oh okay, well I ponder them.

7. I have a confession to make.

I don't decorate for Easter.

Or really any other holiday for that matter other than Christmas {which I REALLY decorate}.
I just felt the need to get that off of my chest.

Whew, what a relief.

8. I am really annoyed with Mother Nature.

I started getting really excited, thinking that this year it might not be too cold for the sleeveless Easter dresses that they ONLY sell.

I started envisioning warm, sunny weather {with a slight breeze} and seeing my girls outside looking for Easter eggs in their festive attire.

Then Mother Nature decided that she didn't like my vision and has given us cold, windy, rainy weather.

Dear Mother Nature, that's not nice!
