Easter Week

Molly's favorite holiday is Easter. Yep, she likes it even better than Christmas. Not sure exactly why unless it's that she is currently able to find a lot more candy than her brother during the Easter egg hunt. Or maybe that it spread over a few days from decorating easter eggs one night to a big Easter dinner on Sunday. Anyhow, I got photos of it all except for the nice dinner we had at Grandma and Grandpa Compton's house in Dallas.

Trying out close-ups with our new camera. Here is Molly with some newly dyed eggs.

And Keenan.

The Easter Egg Hunt

Keenan still needs a few hints where to look for the candy. . .

. . . but has gotten opening and eating the candy down pat.

The bouncy balls were and still are a big hit.

Notice Molly's basket has quite a few more eggs in it than Keenan's. . . .Don't feel bad for Keenan, though, because Molly later gave him all her jelly beans and malted milk balls. She's just as picky about her candy as she is about other foods.

It was indeed a wonderful, happy week.

Molly Pipes Up

As our family was driving home from Jamba Juice tonight, Kevin and I were talking about a city meeting tomorrow to discuss improving McLoughlin Blvd. Anyone who has driven along the blvd. knows how incredibly ugly it really is. Run-down plazas, car lot after car lot after car lot, nothing at all aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Well, Kevin says that he wishes they would tear down an eye-sore-of-a plaza near our home. I then say they also need to tear down all the "girly" places as well. Molly, however, quickly pipes up and says, "I LIKE ALL THOSE GIRLY PLACES!" Needless to say, Kevin and I chuckled over our 6-yr.-old's naivete. It was just a small chuckle, though, because we know that it won't be long before our daughter's innocent eyes/mind will be blasted open to far too many unsavory things of this world. If only she could stay young forever. . . . .
