Snow, Snow, and more Snow

Ok, it's April 15th and we should be thinking about spring, and flowers, and sun.... Not this year. We are expecting another 12 inches or so of snow!! Heavy, wet, snowman-making snow. The girls went outside and added some more snow people to their collection.

Even though we can't wait to wear sommer dresses, the snow is still a lot of fun.....

Happy Easter

Here comes Peter Cottontail...... hopping down the Bunny Trail......
HAPPY EASTER
Every year we decorate for Easter. Britney enjoyed helping with our Easter Tree this year. She admired some of those hand painted eggs, that have been around since Kimberly was very little.

After a long workout (TKD athlete's training) for Kimberly and some "Bunny Duty" in downtown Burlington, we had a wonderful dinner at Ms. Cindy and Mr. Clint's house. The girls had a great time, since the Easter Bunny stopped by their house a little early and made sure that the baskets were in place. How wonderful!

Because we still had so much snow outside, we decided that the Easter Bunny will have to hide his eggs indoors. When we came downstairs this morning, Kimberly and Britney quickly found most of the eggs and of course their baskets. The movie "Happy Feet" was a big hit, so was the new Disney Channel movie "Jump in" together with the soundtrack, that we had to transfer to the MP3 Player right away. Kimberly ran around with her headset and showing off those strange looking dance moves all day. (I remember...... I had one of those too, only it just played cassette tapes) Britney admitted to me at nap time that there was just too much candy around for her, and that she really needed to rest for a little while. (3 hours later..... she took it all back, there's never too much candy for a three year old....) Kimberly keeps finding more eggs.... I wonder how long it will take them to find them all.....

Kimberly found out who the Easter Bunny really is..... She kept saying "Oh thank you mommy, i love it" So we had a little talk and she decided that it's still going to be fun for her even if she is now playing on the other team. She is already planning for next year. Britney now has 3 Easter Bunnies.... how lucky....
