Easter hike. I mean walk.

We had a free afternoon and evening on Easter Sunday, and just about didn't know what to do with ourselves. Since my parents are now gone to American Samoa for a while and Kent's parents were in Florida (which meant no road trip to Indiana,) we didn't have any big family gathering to go to.

So we decided to have a picnic at a park and do a little hiking walking and playing outside.

And had TONS of fun!

(Note that I did not get any pictures of our actual picnic. Yeah, 'cause the kids had Lunchables and Kent and I had Chinese takeout. Yup, that's right, Chinese takeout. Not exactly my first thought for picnic food, but it's what we were hungry for!)

Also, I do realize that no matter how many times I boost the color of the photos in Photoshop, it still comes across as a bit of a dreary day. I didn't even think about how colorless everything was. We were just so happy to be outside that it didn't even matter!

Egg-cellent

Last week we had a fun evening with my niece, Lauren, and her friend Celia.

We decided to enlist Lauren and Celia's help in dying Easter eggs.

The problem was that the 12 eggs I had hard boiled were gone in a flash. So we had to resort to dying our regular brown eggs. Not quite as pretty as the white ones, but at least now I can tell which ones are hard boiled and which aren't!

Easter

Here are the prerequisite Easter pictures...

Jesse was upset that he couldn't help Meredith hold her doll. So he got to hold his new badminton racket and then he was happy.

More pictures to come on what we did in the afternoon...

April Desktop

Here is my latest project with photoshop. It's another background for your computer desktop.

And yeah, it's a bit busy.

And girly.

And springy.

Not sure if I'll like it for the whole month.

 I guess we'll see.

Please let me know if you have problems. Or if it's too busy for you. Or if you want the calendar on the other side because of your icons. Or if you like it. Or if you don't. Or if...

Cool, II

He's cool too.
