Happy Easter - Part 2

Easter Egg Hunt at the Womack's-2010

Once again the Womack's opened their hearts and home to host the church's Easter egg hunt. There were bunnies to be petted.

There was a train to ride.

There were the trees to climb.

And this year, there was ice cream to buy and eat!

Emily had a wonderful time.

Happy Spring - Hippie Style

Question

What is the best thing money can’t buy?

My answer: The sound of Emily’s giggles.

What's your answer?

For the love of pickles

I love pickles as much as well, Emily hates them. I have loved pickles my entire life. Pickles were the first food that I ate so much of that I got sick, and yet I wanted even more of them. I don’t recall meeting a pickle that I haven’t liked. But poor Emily, she hates them, she loathes them, and she despises them. She even hates it when I talked about them. I sometimes wonder if that child is really mine. If she didn’t have freckles I would seriously wonder. But since she also dearly loves cats and bunnies, she probably is mine.

Here are some interesting pickle facts for the June 2009 issue of Real Simple:

Aristotle praised their healing effects is 350 B.C.
Julius Caesar fed them to his troops, supposedly believing they lent physical and spiritual strength.
Cleopatra insisted that eating them enhanced her beauty.
Christopher Columbus brought them to the New World on his 15th century voyage.

Personally, I eat them because they taste so yummy.

Emily's school project

Emily received an A+ on her How to make Pass-It-On Cookies project. Here's the poster that I "helped" her to make. It was the perfect opportunity to use my From the Kitchen Cricut cartridge.
Here's the mini-poster with the directions that Emily wrote. Here are the ingredients. Aren't these bags awesome? All she had to do was pour all the ingredients into the larger bag.
Then Daddy helped her to bake a batch of cookies so that everyone in the class got one.
It was definitely a family project.
