Favorite Foto Friday DELAYED

Imagine that crackly static you hear when you try to log onto old dialup internet... yep... that's the speed we have down here in Florida when we DO have internet access. Add to that, I did not pack a camera cord to load pics on the laptop... so, please post among yourselves... FFF will be back next week!

I will post a mega post this weekend when we get home with pictures! Check back soon!! I feel so disconnected by being internet-less (is that a word?) for a whole week! But, the up side is... the weather has been terrific and we are having a great time. Good weather, good friends, good food and a few frosty beverages and all is good!

Favorite Foto Friday #34

Hola amigas! No theme this week... just post your favorite of the day/week/month, etc! We leave TODAY for Spring Break, so I won't be able to link everybody until I come in from the beach and sit down in front of the computer again. I should be able to link the early birds before we go.

OFF TO THE BEACH!!! Here are my favorite pics from our trip to the same beach two years ago... look how little my babies were!

Favorite Foto Friday #33 - The EYES HAVE IT

Pretty In Plaid

Conversation with Sophie this morning:
Bug: It's my birtday?
Mommy: Not yet, sweetie... when is your birthday?
Bug: My birtday's May fird (3rd)!
Mommy: That's right!
Bug: I be free (3) on my birtday! I be a big girl!
Mommy: Yes, you will be a big girl! And big girls sleep in their big girl beds and go pee pee in the potty!
Bug: I not big girl yet... I mommy's baby! Not yet!!
Mommy: Yes, you are mommy's baby.

Ahhh... don't you just love what goes on in their sweet little heads?? Just some random cuteness of my baby in plaid.

Pay It Forward

UPDATE: HOLLY, SHANNON & LISA are my PIF buddies!! Don't forget to post it on your blogs!!


Thanks to my blogger friend and fellow single Guat momma, Kerri, I'm now playing the Pay It Forward game.

How does it work?

Here are the rules:

I will send a handmade gift (of my choosing) to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this "PIF" exchange, and who make the same pledge on their own blog.

I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise!

The only thing you have to do in return is PAY IT FORWARD - on your own blog.

So, if you want to (eventually - remember, I get a year!) get a homemade goodie from me, and are willing to do the same via your blog, let me know!

(Note that you'll need to give me your real (snail mail) address... which you can do by private email.) Just leave a comment and I will get with you.

So, who's up for it?

And, while you are at it... please visit Kerri's blog for an opportunity to help a family in Guatemala who can really use a hand up...

Happy Easter!!

We had a very relaxed Easter... went to church then came home and had brunch at home. We then went to see Horton Hears A Who at the theaters and basically just relaxed. And, after just having weather in the 70's on Friday, we had a blast of snow showers this afternoon with the biggest snowflakes I have every seen - UGH! So ready for Spring time!! Hope everybody had a wonderful Easter!!

Just some random Easter pics!

Dyeing Easter Eggs last night... Sophie and Grant had so much fun! Morgan was out at the movies with friends.





All four of us after church this morning.


Our traditional outside in front of the dogwood tree picture (no blossoms yet this year - so moved in front of the holly tree instead).



And my kiddos with their duck bill quackers from the Easter Bunny!




Back to work/school tomorrow!! I need a nap!!

Please check out BIG NEWS on my friend Kim's blog... she is a shining example of God's love and how He can use us to work for Him. Kim, you are my hero!

I did it anyways....

I know I said I wasn't going to torture her this year by making her sit on the Easter Bunny's lap, but after seeing everybody's Easter Memories, I just couldn't help it! I took Morgan along so that she could hold her on EB's lap (Grant was playing at a friend's house and this was very spur of the moment)... here is the result!

Not too bad... but then she saw EB's hand next to her...


And we get the full EB effect! I don't blame her... the whole EB costume thing is a little creepy to me too (i.e. pay no attention to the nose behind the teeth).


She was only partially traumatized and ended up waving bye bye to him as we left the mall with my prize! She will love me someday for this, right? (Wish I would have noticed her dress not being down, but you can't have it all.)
