Easter

We have been dying eggs since the beginning of the month - 3 separate batches. The ones above are the typical PAAS dye - tablet placed in cup with water and vinegar. She did a great job with the basic colors then mixed them up a little at the end. She also named them all - from sparkle, to rainbow, to earth. The eggs below are a newer type of tying i guess - you place the dye like liquid packet into a plastic bag then drop the egg in and mix it all around ( Katie didn't like this way as much)

We had a quiet Easter this year. Katie is getting much better about having her photo taken with large furry people. She is looking so big.

She found the eggs in the house and her basket. She doesn't eat candy, so it was packed with toys and arts and crafts. Then out to the back for the monster eggs - she found them without any problems.

We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday

Great Adventure

Well this past weekend was the start of a new season at six flags. Katie is now tall enough to go on some big rides. We bought our season passes and went saturday to get our IDs. The wait was about an hour, so while Bill waited on line, Katie and I went on the parachate jump. She wasn't at all scared - going to be a great year. Some of her favorite rides were either gone or closed for the day. There used to be this huge jungle area to climb and slide on but they took that out - she was very sad. She also wanted to go on the log flume but we told her it was too cold ( which it was). We went on a few others, saw a show, ate dinner then headed home. Katie and I went back on Sunday - hey its free now why not. She ran up to and hugged Bugs Bunny - something she wouldn't do last year.
We had her face painted - what a pretty princess
Went on some "kiddie" rides

Then off to the new rides. She rode Black Breards Lost Train - even wanted to sit in the front car.

The Jolly Roger
She wanted to ride the Buccanner but MY stomache was feeling queessy at that point - I told her she would have to ride that one with Bill.

All in all a great day

WHAT FUN

Hide Hello Kitty

We have taken a spin on hide-n-seek and play hide hello kitty. I have to admit I really get a kick out of it. Katie has had a few good hiding spots. Here are a few of my favorite. Here she is hiding in a bundle of stuff that needs to be put away.
Hiding behind the curtain - this one took Katie a while to find.
Not the most obvious spots - but fun
This one is my favorite - Bill or Katie couldn't find her here.
