This being Manic Monday, and the is morning shaping up to be one that even Garfield would have sympathy for me. Now I'm not going to lay down all of my woes and complaints here, because not only is that boring, but I never really liked reading about other peoples problems, especially when there is no end in sight! I will just ask one thing of you, my wonderful followers, that you send me good thoughts/vibes/energy whatever floats your boat. I sure could use all of the luck I'm wished today.
Now that that is over with, I shall amuse you (or at least attempt to) with my Monday Mash-Up. I have yet to get fresh batteries into my camera so I don't have pictures of yesterday to share with you yet, but I can at least try and paint a picture of it.
I told you that Felicity dumped a whole container of green dye onto an egg. I gotta say, it is the coolest egg we made. It looks like an egg shaped piece of green marble! Pretty cool compared to our dinosaur eggs that Chris and I made. I also made a green bean casserole that we took up to my In-Laws for dinner, and it was actually surprised that I had fun. My In-Law's have never been very big fans of me, but the feeling was mutual so it never bothered me. Now that Chris and I have Felicity, and had a very long talk with them, they try really hard to be nice. :) So last night when we went up there, they had hidden a bunch of plastic eggs around the living room, kitchen, and TV room for Felicity to find. After she found the first couple of eggs, she really started getting into it, and had a blast. We would take a couple eggs out of her basket when she wasn't looking and re-hide them. It was so cute to see her run over to one she spotted and point to it gasping in surprise.
When it was time to sit down for dinner, she insisted on having her, rather large, easter basket sitting on her lap at the table, which made it hard for her to eat but all well. She was very proud of all those eggs in her basket, and didn't want anybody to take them away! We discovered that she doesn't like the coconut part of fruit salad, even when it's on marshmallows! We had a blast playing with home-made play-dough while Uncle Mike entertained us by making squishing noises while he showed Felicity how to smash the dough figures back into little round patties. (I have both pictures and video of that!) We walked away from the evening around 9pm, with a very sugared up toddler and Chris and I waddling along behind trying to stay awake long enough to get home. We were all in bed by 9:30, with slightly more screaming from Felicity. And that was our Easter Sunday.
How did you spend your holiday? Did you get all sugared up or go to bed early? I want to know!

We spent it the good ole way of relaxing, eating way too much sugar, then spending a great evening with family. It was a good day... and we all conked out at the end. :)
