Spring In Your Step

Spring is definitely here.  Some days have felt down right hot even.  So with the warmer weather, we've been spending more time outside.  Little L has been enjoying this immensely, as any two year old would.  Pretty much every day he asks to go play at the park, or in the yard.  And, allergies and energy permitting, he does.

Happy Easter!

Hope you have a wonderful Easter!

I Forgot!

I meant to mention a while ago that Erica (of San Francisco...Sometimes) and I did a little collaboration a couple weeks ago.  By collaboration, I mean we decided to do something besides dinner before seeing a movie, and did a photo shoot instead.  Go check it out :)

Bunny Napkins

Since tomorrow is Easter, I've been looking around for some decorative ideas for our family gathering.  I came across these bunny napkins on the Martha Stewart website (which honestly, were a little confusing, since they were just diagrams instead of pictures).  But, you don't even need to go there, cause I have the directions and photos here for you!

First, lay out your napkin flat, top side down.

Next, fold in the top and bottom portions like a piece of paper going in an envelope.  It should now be 1/3 of the size.

After that, you'll fold the two corners down the middle, so it looks like this.

Next, you fold up the bottom corners, like this.

The next thing you do is sort fold/roll in the bottom portion of the napkin. (these are going to be the ears)

Flip your napkin over, ears facing up.

Fold up the bottom portion to make a triangle.

Now stand up your napkin, and tuck one of the corners back into the other.  Then stand up and you have your bunny napkin!

Bossypants

I just finished reading Bossypants, by Tina Fey.  It was so funny.  I would definitely suggest you go out and get this book, because it is a great read. You know how people are always on the hunt for a good book for vacations or for when they are sitting out by the pool?  Something good, but not too serious?  This is your book.  It took me not quite three nights to read it, and not like full late night reading.  So, it's definitely a quick read.  Go get it!

Open For Play

Back in October someone set fire to the mall by our house. While they are still working on the damage done to the area immediately surrounding where the fire took place, they have slowly been reopening different sections. Today they FINALLY opened up one of the play areas (the other is still under construction). They certainly went all out with the balloons/decorations in the area. Little L enjoyed them almost as much as getting to run around and play on the new equipment. I (sadly) had to carry him out kicking and crying when the mall was closing, and it was time to go home.

L and the Giant Lemon

As I previously mentioned, we went to a friend's farm yesterday. Little L got do do a lot of fun things there, including pick some fruit (oranges and lemons). This one lemon has got to be the biggest lemon I've ever seen. It's seriously gigantic.
