Getting Caught Up

 So, when I went to upload the Easter pictures from the camera to the computer, I realized that there were a TON that I hadn't added! Mostly because Joshua took the camera with him to New Orleans and then I forgot about it while it sat in his closet. So, here's me, playing catch-up! P.S. Some of the photos and captions got all screwy, so that's why things aren't quite right.

This week's food: Sharon fruit (persimmon).

Survey says: So-so. Nothing amazing, nothing terrible.

We swapped the kids' rooms around so Bella could have some privacy and Ryan wasn't sleeping in a minty green room. Now Bella has a place to work and draw.

And plenty of princess wall decals, a play kitchen, and cubbies for her stuff. She's in love!

Ryan gets a Cars-themed room, which HE loves. The first night they swapped rooms, Bella slept in the bed on the right. They were having a "sleepover" she told me.

We made a music/reading nook for Ryan. He too has plenty of cubbies for all his stuff, and of course, his CD player!

Bella and I had some "gore time" one day. We went shopping! Here's one of the probably 20 hats Bella tried on in the store.

This is so Minnie Pearl-it even has the price tag hanging down!

Our other fruit? Ugli fruit. Our was pretty dried out by the time we got around to eating it.

But Bella didn't care! It was yummy!

Since we're going to be here a while, I decided to pretend we have a backyard and set up a sandbox for the kids. As you can see here, even if they have to have coats on, they're going to play outside!

Love my adorable children!

Notice how my hand is hovering around Ryan and the food coloring! He did a great job (the whisk helped).

Bella was like a mad scientist with her eggs-I'm glad I snapped this picture of how they looked. Because then she'd say, "Let's put this one in some green. And then some blue." There were a fair share of brown eggs by the time she was done!

The kids before church. Spiffy clothes, no shoes. Yep, that about covers it!

The Easter Egg hunt. They had a blast. Ryan found one later while he was on the deck and had a fit to get downstairs and retrieve it!
