Easter

Some of my fav shots from Easter ... including the boy in pink ... who did not protest, and darn it, he looked CUTE! All my kids looked like eggs!

Nick wanted to take some of his Easter goodies to church ... hence the arms loaded and tears. And yes, some of the goodies DID go to church...

More photos in the Gerding Photo Album....

Good Friday.

Yes it is.
I am off today. I always take off so we can go to the Good Friday services. It's always very moving and really makes us appreciate Easter more.

I'm cleaning up around the house and thinking about scrapping. Mostly just moving supplies from one table to another. Ack.

It's a good weekend to relax and not be tied to stuff -- no thinking about work, only LIMITED time on the computer. Just chillin'.

Pink is Manly

Where does the time go?
Why can't I get anything done?
So much to talk about ...we've got some deep stuff going on ... but I'm going to keep it simple.

I enjoy buying the boys' Easter outfits. Oh sure, I'd LOVE to be picking out dresses and shoes and yes, we'd do bonnets. But, I gotta work with what I got. And I'm not quite ready yet to suit 'em up in ties and jackets. So, I go for spring colors on nice looking shirts and khakis.

Jack is wearing a lime green. BRIGHT lime green. And Nick has a yellow polo with white and dark green stripes .. and Kyle...well, my blonde haired blue eyed boy is gonna wear pink. That's right. He will look so good in pink! And it's actually very "in" right now for manly men to wear pink. It was funny - -because I showed it to him first. I couldn't have him throwing a fit on Easter morning because momma bought him a girl shirt. He was ok with it. Then of course, there's Jack .. who got a big smile on his face, but was smart enough to read the expression on my face and daddy's face and know to zip it. And speaking of Daddy ... he seems ok with it too. I didn't have to make a case....

So ... this week's poll is about pink.
