a few photos

I have been going through our photos from Easter...a few at a time. These are a few of my favorites. One of my favorite traditions we do with the girls is to put an empty egg in their Easter baskets and include several empty eggs in the Easter egg hunt. Whenever they opened the empty eggs we would all shout, "the tomb is empty, He is risen!"

The girls spent a week at my parents house before Easter and my parents gave me 2 cd's of photos from that week. I can't wait to go through the pictures.

good night...

We went to the zoo today, last minute, we had 40 minutes until it closed. Jeremy came home early so we hopped in the car. The girls needed to burn some energy, so the plan was to go directly to the play area. We got to see the zoo keepers feed some of the animals and we had the play area to ourselves. It was a great time.

Jeremy wrote 2 haiku this morning. I thought I would share it with you, he gave me permission.

Old House
The Kitchen floor squeaks
But no longer bothers us,
Love for our old house.


Kids would like to play outside
No yard for kids yet
Plenty of kids for yard, though
Dad needs to work fast

Also, I posted 2 projects on my d. reeves design house blog, go check it out.

this makes me happy

Although this is such a mess (look past the decoration at the lovely pile possibilities). I feel so inspired and ready to play. All it took was making this cute little Easter decoration. I fumbled through putting the Easter hanging together with Jeremy's mom over the weekend. We got the kits at Crop, Paper, Scissors. I felt like my hands were barely able to cut, paste and glitter. My craft armoire has been neglected for over a month. The site of all the items piled on top of each other felt so discouraging. Thankfully, this past weekend things changed. In fact, I felt so inspired I took over our dining table and started a new project.


My newest project....it is pictured above to the right. I am putting together ornament boxes for the girls Christmas ornaments. I prefer to think I am way ahead of the game, this being March and and next Christmas is 9 months away, rather than being way behind from last Christmas.
