i was going to try to categorize this blog into several different blogs. one for “prepping to move out”, one for “easter eggs”, one for “hazel pottytrains”…. but, i’m just going to glob it all together here, and be all caught up, and move on with my life… here goes… on the night we arrived […]

family easter mountain trip
during our time “home”, we took a trip up to the boone/blowing rock/banner elk mountain region over easter with derek’s parents. our first stop, as usual, was the mast general store… on the way home, we decided to have some bbq at the peddlin’ pig. so good. then, it was time for an easter egg […]
belated easter post.
yep. i’m about to play another round of bloggy catch up. first up. easter. the eggs dying. and the egg hunt. the egg dying went as you might suspect. same as every family. for the last 100 years, i suppose. we used two dye kits this year. one standard (except for being neon colors) and […]
easter. spring. friends. lemonade.
well. i thought maybe i would split this post into a few smaller topical posts. but, my time at the computer is pretty limited these days. so another lump 32 picture update post will have to do. for now. i did save a zillion pictures from planting our garden today for a later post. you’re […]

egg hunt, a day late
since i didn’t get to see isaac do his egg hunt at his grandparent’s on sunday, i held a private egg hunt for him on monday afternoon. i don’t know if it’s as exciting without the thrill of competition, but it’s probably nice to have all the candy to yourself. 🙂 the take off: searching: […]
delicious delicious birds nests
for some reason, i decided it would be a really great idea to make coconut/white chocolate bird’s nests with isaac for our little easter party. he did a great job helping…. i’m too lazy to narrate…
the coloring of easter eggs
it’s almost easter. so, isaac and i decided to color some eggs. luckily, i had boiled some up, in anticipation of this very moment. (we often boil up large batches of eggs for high protein snacks, so it could have gone either way and we’d be happy). anyhow, i got anna to sleep, which is […]
