I'm so glad to see you and the family doing well.<br /><br />The geocaching things is what made me comment...I know people are into it, and it seems like a cool concept. But people who don't know about it are not amused by this. I handled a call at work one day because some people weren't sure if the box behind a business was a drug stash or a bomb. They just kept seeing people walk up to it, put something in it, and walk away, int he span of a few minutes. I laughed pretty hard when we traced the web address to a harmless geocaching site. No bomb dogs that day!!Katie Higginsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-20404240011637999862009-08-18T10:15:35.128-07:002009-08-18T10:15:35.128-07:00That plate is adorable!That plate is adorable!Annyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00387909735539879503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-44159600061291260962009-08-16T19:48:58.593-07:002009-08-16T19:48:58.593-07:00Hi Anna!

Ever...We have a lot of fun decorating Easter eggs. Every year we make a list of awards in advance... Pretty Egg, Rotten Egg, Jesus Egg, Rock n Roll Egg, American Egg, etc. The girls spend some time making 'ribbons' while I boil the eggs. Then we decorate way more eggs than we can possibly eat. Other kids... and even a few adults... have been eager to join us. We use rubber bands, art tissue, and lots of other techniques we have collected over the years. Whenever my girls have to write an essay about their favorite traditions for school this always makes the top of the list. <br /><br />That and the year that we were determined to find a not-so-crowded area of the park for an Easter egg hunt. And then realized we had sent Jeff off to hide eggs on a "hazardous trail" :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-88220191946997790922009-08-14T17:56:51.390-07:002009-08-14T17:56:51.390-07:00My sister and I (still do!) get pajamas for Christ...My sister and I (still do!) get pajamas for Christmas Eve presents. I always loved starting Christmas morning cozy and in something new. All of our Christmas photos are in matching pjs. <br /><br />I bake incessantly on snow days. A nesting thing I guess. <br /><br />As I child, I thought every family did this - we celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas at my father's mother's house; the Sunday after at my mother's parent's house. I never understood the hectic holiday schedule. I love spreading the celebration out over more days. And everyone could always make it to both.<br /><br />I love the ones you're making for your family!Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00836610074746809732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-25539509604903048732009-08-14T17:08:31.201-07:002009-08-14T17:08:31.201-07:00awesome post!

I heard about that a while back and thought it was a fake thing! Now that I know it's real, my family would love it. Um, your post on Ice T cracked me up! Oh my, those things could be used as weapons! And you with your iced tea, priceless.<br /><br />Thank you for joining the party!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Marie<br />http://emmacallsmemama.comMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04189542891027262056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-32201447445462665382009-08-13T18:15:15.993-07:002009-08-13T18:15:15.993-07:00I LOVE the ice cream breakfast on the first snow d...I LOVE the ice cream breakfast on the first snow day tradition.
