transformation

When we color our traditional batch of eggs, they all turn out lovely. Of course I am thrilled when I get one just for myself, that honors my love of sheep.

But what I treasure even more is watching the kids create.
I see that look of total concentration, when they forget me with my camera.
I watch Lewis, who is getting ready to start middle school in September and I wonder, is it the last year, that he colors eggs with us?
My girlie is the one, who adores all artsy-crafty activities and dives right in. Oh boy, does she get messy!
I can never get enough of those little hands, I mean, just look at them in all their colorful gory!
She is eight now, but when I look at her hands, they remind me of the chubby little baby she was.

Happy Easter to you all!

just two things

One of the noteworthy happenings in our house is definitely when the kids are crafting. That's when my heart jumps with delight, when they choose paper, glue and string over gameboy, TV, anything that requires electrical power!

Just a few days ago the Valentine bug hit Fiona and she got busy.

Days like that leave me thoroughly content.
Then there is music.
I have been hunting for a song, which - unfortunately - is not available through iTunes, though it really should be. This one was real popular in Germany, not sure about the US.
And if you are ready for a good laugh (the video is from the 70s, think shoes, dance moves, etc.) and you feel like some movin' and groovin' click here and have a fabulous day!
P.S. Thank you, Su.
