Stylin'

Georgia got at least 6 inches taken off of her hair this weekend! She LOVES it, and says it makes her feel like a big girl. Kevin and I agree; we both think it looks adorable, but she did look like she transformed into a big girl too quickly! When Chloe saw it, the first thing she did was ask if she could get her hair cut, so I might be posting more haircut pics in the next few days.

Finally...A New Post!

It has come to my attention that a couple of very sweet young men have been patiently waiting for pictures of their cousins; not wanting to disappoint my favorite nephews, Blake and Beau, I give you: Easter weekend.

We had a great Easter weekend this year. On Saturday we went to an Easter egg hunt with kids from church. In case you can't tell, they were very excited.



This is the closest Chloe would get to any sort of Easter bunny this year. I'm afraid she will be scarred for life by Santa (or rather how we forced her to sit on Santa's lap), so we decided not to traumatize her any further by making her visit with the real thing. Even with this blow-up version, it took some prodding to get her to stand that close.



The girls were quite choosy when it came to the actual hunt. Not every egg that they stumbled upon would do. Pink, yes. Blue, no! Easy to reach without getting dirty, yes. Having to maneuver through bushes, no!









As mentioned earlier, Chloe does suffer from a phobia of giant rabbits, and the thought of having the Easter bunny in her own home was just too much to handle. Therefore, much like one would set Christmas stockings out for Santa to fill, we set Easter baskets for the Easter bunny to fill. Outside. With the door locked. Georgia was concerned with how hungry the bunny would be, so carrots were left as well.



The loot.







Chloe is eating what Georgia calls a "tweet" (i.e. peep).





Easter dresses!

I didn't realize we were raising a gun control lobbyist...

Before bed Georgia and daddy pray together and then have a little bit of quiet time, and the conversations can be quite comical. Tonight's was as follows:

They were discussing God, how He loves us, how we should love Him, and how people change from being "bad people" (Georgia's term) to "good people." Kevin was explaining how when you are baptized you become a "good person" and love God. At this point Georgia interjects, "Yeah, and then God takes away their guns!" Then Kevin had to explain that he has two guns, to which she responds with shock/confusion (basically, her entire world was turned upside down... only bad people have guns, right?!)

This led into the topic of hunting (Can you tell we have girls?), which brought on more shock/confusion. He had to explain about all the animals that we eat, which somehow led to catfish. So, Kevin asked if she knew why it was called a catfish. Her response was "Yeah, it is a fish with 'whaskers'."
