Easter and other such stuff

I found Easter dresses for the girls this year, instead of making them.  I don’t know if I would have found time to make them otherwise, but when I found these … I can’t make them like this for that cheap!!!  So I bought them.

(I’m not feeling too bad about it, though.  L insists she wants to be Merida -from Disney’s Brave"- for Halloween, and S wants to be Elena, so I will be making dresses for them … later.  Oh, and with L’s baptism coming up next year, she’ll get a mommy-made dress for that, too.)

As much as I tried, I couldn’t get more than this half-hearted grin from S.  I think she’s become self-conscious about her cracked front tooth lately.  (She’s had it since she was 18 months old … I guess just a year or two more, and she’ll lose it and grow a permanent one.)

Speaking of which, here’s my older daughter.

She feels the need to pose and twist her body around while getting her picture taken.  And she wouldn’t be complete without a close-up.

 

She’s missing 4 of her front teeth.  The two top center teeth and the two side bottom teeth.  I keep threatening to put her on a liquid diet if she doesn’t stop losing teeth.  One is growing back in, so she won’t be like this forever. 

And this little man would not stop moving long enough to get a good picture.  Even when he did, he gave me this funny face -

What’s up with that lower lip, young man?!

Huh, Mom?  This one?

Like this?

I finally gave up.

 

The Easter bunny did visit us.  A few days later, the little black bunny in the middle got one of his ears pulled off.  I thought that only happened to chocolate bunnies.

Here’s a quick update on J’s quilt.  The top is pieced together, and I’m just waiting to have a chance to go to my mom’s and have her and my grandma help me quilt it.  Then I’ll edge it with multi-colored triangles.  I’m excited to have it done for him.

And last … we have popcorn popping on our apricot tree!!!  I’ve been waiting three years for my little tree to bloom, and it finally did!!!  (I would put up a pic of the whole tree, but it seems to be blooming in spurts, and as a whole tree, it looks a little silly.)
