Hoppy Easter EveryBunny

Tuesday, April 23, 2019

It was a whirlwind of an Easter.  Nana and Grampa were visiting and we were in the middle of putting up a backsplash in the kitchen.  MadHatter was trying to recover from being sick for the past 10 days and still compete in a track meet.  We needed to dye eggs.  We were busy to say the least.  But we got it all done.  And I snapped a picture or 5.  Literally - it is all I took.  So here is a look at our first Easter in our new house.  The first one in the U.S. in 8 years.  And the first one without a hotel room egg hunt in many moons (which made the Easter Bunny very happy!)







Bits and Bobs

Mostly what we have going on around here lately is track practice, gymnastics, track meets and more practice.  Rinse and repeat.  But every once in a while something new pops into that schedule.  And here is proof...

We not only have the giant lizards but we also get the tiny gekkos that hang out on our back deck.

Told me she found her parking spot, now she just needs a car :)

We spend a lot of time here watching the sun set...

School Spring pictures.  Why?  Just Why?  And on top of that their cheapest package was $25.  I'd be willing to pay it if...
  1. They took two seconds to make sure that my kids looked even halfway decent and not scary (or with a totally forced smile)
  2. We didn't just have almost the exact same pictures taken of them at the beginning of the year.
  3. I wasn't a photographer who could take better pictures than these with my cell phone.  


We spend a lot of time at track meets - like 9-10 hours every Saturday so no compilation of photos depicting our month would be complete without at least one shot of MadHatter doing her thing.  She won 1st place here with a jump of 14' 1". 

 Someone was picked by her teachers as Student of the Month!

We had an invasion of dragonflies.  There were thousands of them all over the trees and the lawns in our neighborhood. 

DIY project.  I bought all of the supplies to do this about 5 months ago and then just could never find a full weekend that I wanted to devote to it.  When Nana and Grampa came for Easter, they finally said it must be done so we got to work.  I am still not finished though as I need to find the time to seal and caulk it...Maybe in 5 more months :)
