Close Enough

Ahh, mid 70's. Good enough for shorts and flip flops. My kids are in heaven.

...she also doesn't kill The Boy

Neesha is a wonderful mother. This is manifest every day in many different ways. Whenever The Boy has a peanut butter sandwich for lunch, which is basically every day, he'll ask for it to be cut into a specific shape. It started out as rectangles, triangles, and squares. Those were easy. One afternoon he asked for a diamond. This is harder than it sounds since you have to make sure it is presented on the plate correctly, otherwise it looks a lot like a square. Then, last month, he went through the alphabet, which was a bit more of a challenge.

Friday afternoon he asked for a car. Neesha thought about, then nodded and went to work.

Upon looking at the finished, car-shaped sandwich...

The Boy: Is that the best you can do?

Happy (late) Easter

Our Easter was quite drawn out this year and we only just finished it on Sunday, so here's the rundown!
We started with an Easter Egg Hunt with cousins at the end of March.
The Queen preferred to swing.
Easter morning proved to be very entertaining.
We later enjoyed our semi-annual Conference Breakfast with Winegars (yummy crepes -- still need that recipe, Angie)!
Because Easter was over Conference weekend, The Queen didn't get to wear her Easter dress for the occasion, so we took pictures the next Sunday. She loves this dress. She gets excited to wear it and likes to twirl (it's so fun to have a girl)!
My younger brother, Josh treated them to yet another Easter Egg Hunt later that day. I still need pictures, Talena and Dad!

April Fools

My Dad's favorite April Fool joke has always been to wake us up and tell us that there was four inches of snow on the ground.
It's not going to work this year, Dad. Bummer.
