Easter Eggstravaganza...Part 1

Today we had our Easter party for the ASYMCA Baby and Me program. It was all ages combined so we had a great time watching the older kids, except the older boy who I caught just before he was going to throw Madelyn's shoe across the gym. Here is Madelyn with her Easter Basket that I paper mache'ed and she painted.

She got her face painted which I honestly didn't think she would like but she sat still and asked for more after her bunny was done. It was super sweet.
She hunted Easter eggs and managed to get 4 eggs! After 2 she lost interest in the eggs and just wanted to walk around swinging her basket and happened upon 2 more. One older girl gave her an egg because she (the older girl) had like a bazillion and Madelyn promptly gave it to another little girl.

We had fried chicken and a yummy pot luck of side. I LOVE pot lucks. They are yummy and exciting and an excuse to have 20 things on your plate. There were these adorable cupcakes! There were some fat cheeked bunnies too but I didn't get a pic of them. This cupcake was almost too cute to eat. Almost.

The whole time the Easter Bunny was visiting the class Madelyn was mesmerized. She loved him! She followed him around and it was an absolute fight to make her stay in line to wait her turn to sit with him.
So doesn't it kind sorta maybe look like that paper bunny has the runs...and it's green?
I'm going to start a new feature on this here blog and the picture above is the inspiration for the very first Way Back Whenesday. It will be on Wednesday, duh... oh and when you read Whenesday you should hear the "h". It adds a little something.

Where to start?

This is a welcome home sign that somebody put up on base. I'm sure the Marine recognizes himself in the picture as do all the Marines that know him. There is just so much wrong that I don't know where to start. Is this sign from a jealous girlfriend and wifey's on the bed of a pick-up truck on her way to Mexico to be sold into slavery? Is this sign from his brother who took "care" of wifey while he was deployed? Is this just a sign from the wifey who likes to advertise that she is lazy and fat and probably has cracker crumbs and bugs in the bed because this sign has been up for several weeks. I won't even get started on "the ice", like there's only one ice? I bet it melted really quick. Maybe it's on the ice in Alaska? Or on the ice on the boat that she bought with deployment money and is sailing around on with the brother? OK, it's making my brain hurt because it doesn't rhyme or flow. It's just a bunch of statements on ...

All Dressed Up!

It's All Dressed Up Wednesday with No Model Lady It's just a fun day for us to get dressed up and share it with the internets.  Today I did a little casual outfit that I've been thinking about for a while.  It's not super creative, but I LOVE this shirt and scarf combo.  Feeling pensive in the backyard. Feeling like a picture with heels sinking in the grass! This outfit was really all about the shoes.  Because it's always all about the shoes. This is how silly I felt posing in my backyard with a mirror propped against our glider bench. Shirt and scarf combo: Kohls Jeans: Levis skinny Shoes: Macy's clearance Earrings: Charlotte Russe Bracelet: a gift from my lovely Denise Did you play?  Wanna Play?  Head over to No Model Lady and link up!
