Easter

It's always good to start preparing for Easter with the coloring of Easter eggs. I gave my camera to Axel to capture our coloring of the eggs.

He needs a little bit of work but not a bad photographer.

After the church service it's time to collect the eggs. It was a great day to be outside for the egg trees.

Did i take a picture of the table? Did i take a picture of the inside egg hunt? Did i take a picture of the lamb cake? actually i did but on my other camera. I just have to remember to bring in the pictures.

Happy Easter!

A few weeks ago Steve and I went to the aquarium. We originally went the week before but the line was way too long and the weather was too nice. We ended up just walking around the museums and Navy Pier that day. The next week we tried again, this time getting their bright and early when the aquarium opened. That was the way to do it. We were almost first in line and it filled up fast. We had a great day. Watching two different feedings. Experienced a 4-D movie. Fought the crowds. It was a perfect day to be inside.

He's looking right at me. Thank Goodness for six inches of glass.

of course a few birds.
Definitely a good day to be inside.

reading

so i'm reading an article about the health benefits (or not so benefits) of coffee in the Chicago Tribune. I found this following paragraph rather interesting. it does make sense.

"Every day, we sip a steady stream of health news about something we could eat or drink and how it will help save us from Health Nightmare X—or help cause it. Avoid refined sugar. Take fish oil pills. Drink coffee. Don't.
So here's the good news, according to experts who study disease and risk: You can pretty much ignore almost all of these health bulletins, with a few exceptions: Exercise, eat a balanced diet, don't be fat, drink only in moderation and, whatever you do, don't smoke."

Spring has begun.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you tomorrow. You're only a day away..."

melt down

the melt down is supposed to happen this weekend.

I wouldn't mind not being greeted by this every morning...

Yesterday it was reported the several groundhogs across the country saw their shadows... six more weeks of winter.
