Happy Easter!

Today is Easter and we had a mini Easter Egg Hunt with Reagan when she woke up. She loved it. At first she didn't really get it but once it clicked, it clicked. So I am posting a lot of short video clips of our Easter Egg Hunt and then with the bubbles she got in her basket. Well I was going to post a lot of video but it takes forever so maybe just 2. Okay just 1.

Good things
1. The Atonement
2. Sunshine
3. Seeing Reagan really excited

Hope you all have a great Easter.

It is almost here...

Today is the first day of spring and I can finally see my grass. Well parts of it anyway. My bulbs are slowly starting to peek out of the ground. Reagan is getting really antsy to go outside and play. Her birthday is coming up soon and we are trying to decide on something to get her. Hopefully an outside toy so I can send her out to release her energy instead of running up and down the hall.

I have been really busy lately doing Alison's Pantry stuff to get ready for the taste of home cooking school here in town next month. I have to get all my catalogs out before I leave to NV next week and get sharing time ready for Sunday plus do some stuff for Easter. When I get back I will put another order in and Potty Train Reagan. Cross my fingers on the last one. I would like to get all of my sewing projects done before it gets too warm so I can plant my garden and stuff like that. I am making boy bumper pads and decorating a boy room. If anyone has some great and exciting cute ideas let me know. I haven't found anything I really like yet. We are also finishing our basement room by room and we will have to move the office downstairs soon. After we finish the office it is the storage room under the stairs so I can have my hallway back and I won't see my Christmas stuff for another 8 or so months. That will be great.

Today my great things are:

1. Clean offices (one of which I don't have but will soon)
2. Talking children who know what I am saying
3. Subtle signs of spring

Anywhere else they might be more than subtle signs of spring but I live in the Artic Circle of Idaho.

Spring...Yeah RIGHT!

So...I have finally come down with the cold of the winter. I am coughing all night and waking Reagan up. So it is glorious. But while I feel yucky I thought I would take a moment to think about the good things in life.

Good Things
1. Melting Snow
2. Sisters
3. Sudafed

The snow is actually melting, it is just at a snail's pace. I can see my flower bed now but no bulbs coming up. Darnit. It is frustrating. We are trying to build some houses and the snow is just miserable.

Reagan is such a goof ball. She is talking so much now and comes up with new words all the time. Her latest is "nak" meaning snack. She goes into the kitchen about 50 times a day (I am not exaggerating) and points to the cupboards and says "nak" and then just looks at me. In the morning when she wakes up she tells me to turn the "yight on" and she definitely knows when it is "binky time". I think she talks a lot now but when she starts to put words together we will never hear the end of it.
