boil your Easter eggs Early!

So, the day before Easter was kind of a disaster.

I rushed to get the eggs boiled so we could get to an Easter play at church that my friend's son was in and totally undercooked the eggs, which I didn't realize until we were about to dye them at 8 pm that night.

Turns out we had the wrong day for the play.  And my friend's son isn't even in it.  But the Saturday night church service was lovely - or at least it was from my perspective from the lobby with a loud, loud little Stella (and a quiet little Jeremy).

Just before we dyed the eggs we also realized the package said that the dye would come off in the refrigerator.  Really?  REALLY?

So John got new dye at CVS, while I boiled more eggs, and the girls slipped into that dangerous land called "PAST BED-TIME".

There were screams and tears, but lots of smiles too, and we ended up with beautiful eggs.

The Easter Bunny brought our precious little ones lots of surprises, and we spent Easter with lots of family and wonderful people. 

Remind me to boil the eggs a few days ahead next year!!

 

Lots of love, 

Keri

welcome with love, baby Alice, 4-19-11

Dear baby Alice:

We haven't met you yet, but we love you oh, so much already. 

 I know you have drawers filled with beautiful dresses and that you don't need tiny tutus, fancy hats, or pretty dresses, but I got you some of each.

Jeremy is especially excited to meet you.  He has a feeling that his big sisters will be bossing him around alot, and he is looking forward to having a little buddy to hang out with.

I cannot wait to meet you baby girl!!

Lots of love, 

Aunt Keri

Weigh-In week 7: Spring is in the Air

i love pictures that tell a story, so here's a little story:

but there were also moments laughing around the trees

and playing in the bubbles

Spring is here! Happy Easter.

I have some Easter pics to share that tell a few stories too...but I'll save that for another day.


quick WW update: lost 1 more pound last week (yay!) have been very bad this week (boo!). Jeremy is going through some kind of major growth spurt and has been trying to eat every half hour, leaving me very hungry too. I think if I eat more this week, that is ok. However, eating McDonald's and chocolate and not tracking them ......probably not so good. Fingers crossed I don't gain 10 pounds next week!



this week: down 1 more pound total: 14 pounds


Lots of love,  Keri
