Egg decorating















Hi everyone,

We hope you had a very nice Easter! We just relaxed around the house and the boys got to watch Pinnochio which they got from the Easter Bunny along with some suckers, sixlets and a cadbury caramel egg. They were very happy with that, it doesn't take a lot to make them happy and since they are always seeming to ask for suckers lately it worked out great. They even got to have one after eating pancakes Daddy made. Figured since it was Easter and as many of you know I rarely let the boys have sweets anyway so that was a treat in itself. We did manage to get eggs decorated this year but I did not hide them, they got to have an egg hunt at preschool last Thursday. So here are just a couple pics I took of them coloring eggs. And yes those are stickers from the deco kit on their heads that I actually stuck there.

Recommendation for book lovers!

Hi all,

About 35 minutes ago I finished reading a most wonderful story that a friend recommended to me recently. The book is titled, The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. To tell you very briefly, it's about two women who have come together for the purpose of the older one telling her story to the younger one, with many twists and turns and gradually along the way the younger one learns more about her own story. Now just by that you may think that you already have it figured out but trust me, you do not. I give you this description in a way meant to entice you into reading it to find out the truth. As well as being fresh from reading this wonderfully woven tale, I have the writer's language or some form of it still in my head. Which is why I had to come down to the computer so late, in order to have just a bit of play before going to sleep and possibly dreaming of the story thereby not getting very good sleep anyway. Let me know if any of you read it and what you think, I know I will be chatting with my friend soon to talk about it. When you've read such a good book you well know that the story sticks with you for awhile as I'm sure it will for me in the next few days, at least and it has been added to my list of favorite books for sure. Have a good Monday and take care! =)
