The other night mom was doing her crossword puzzles and I asked her how she got started doing them. Here's her story. She was working at a soda shop. As she walked to work each day she passed a book store with a window display showing the books available...of course. She noticed a crossword puzzle book and just kind of wondered about it for awhile. At one point the book was open for the public to see what was inside. She studied it and thought to herself..."That is something I could do..." It still took awhile, but eventually she actually went into the store and bought her first crossword puzzle book. She still enjoys working those crossword puzzles even though it takes great effort because it is hard for a lefty to write with the right hand.
Bailey is an expert at entertaining herself and others! Her Grandma Linda found this 'cat/witch' tutu for Bailey. Bailey twirls and dances even with a gardenia in her mouth. She doesn't even need anyone watching her...but who wouldn't want to? There are sooo many Bailey stories.
Doesn't it look like three guilty kids at a police line-up. I swear they didn't do it! They would NEVER do anything wrong.
The picture speaks for itself. It also melts me. What a couple of cuties.
Thursday night I was invited to go to the Wiggles Live Concert with Morgan and Bailey. I was a default guest because Easton (darling, Easton) was just too young at 8 days old to appreciate the Wiggles. But, oh the joy of watching Bailey, Carter, and Marin was almost too much for a Grandma to take. Morgan bought Bailey the "Dorothy tu-tu". She is still wearing it two days later. Just enjoy these pictures of 3/7ths of Grandma Susie's grandkids.
Yep, the Saturday before Easter found Megan at the Easter Egg Hunt swinging to and fro with a big smile on the playground swings. I think my favorite view is the 'fro'.
Isn't is a beautiful spring day? The Witt kids (belonging to the other Half-Witt) asked us to go to an Easter Egg hunt in Loomis. Emily and her beau (soon to be a permanent fixture)David brought Mckenzie, Jackson, and Lukas. April and her beau (soon to be a permanent fixture) Peter brought Amanda and Maile. The kids had a great time chasing down those illusive Easter eggs. Again, what a beautiful spring day!
It was Easter Sunday and we needed a special something to celebrate the day. Megan got busy and made a delicious homemade (well almost...we made it at home) lemon merangue (how close is the spelling?) pie and (wait until you read this!) a unique Jello salad. Please notice Megan's happy face and her ballet pointed toes...such a necessary part of a great cook. The jelly bean Jello topping was a real award winner. Hey, should we enter our recipe into a cooking contest? It's all up to Megan.
When I woke up Saturday morning, I found these binocculars beside Mom's wheelchair. Hmmm. I wondered why they were there. Then I knew...we have a really nice man (a little younger than Mom/Grandma Betty living next door to us. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Could she be watching him from a distance? MOM! you should be ashamed of yourself!
