April was a hard month. I'm glad it's over. I hope there's truth to "April showers bring May flowers." I'm ready for a new month!

Here's one of my joys. On Saturday, Holly brought 8 blocks upstairs for the little play room. She brought them up 2 by 2 and each time she ventured downstairs I was blown kisses and waved goodbye to. And then she built little towers and knocked them over laughing. The game became even more enjoyable to her when I sat down and helped build towers with her! 

I made Holly a dress for Easter, but it's too big for her. So I guess I actually made her a dress for next easter. Luckily, she had the perfect dress waiting in her closet. A dear friend made it for her and Easter was it's perfect debut! 

We had a few friends over for a potluck Easter feast. It was so delicious! We ate until we were overful and then we played an epic game of Settlers of Catan. I'm still hurting over the seven wheat Mel monopolized from me.

We filled a dozen eggs for Holly on Saturday and let her find them. She LOVED the candy and ate it as fast as she possibly could. We didn't tell her about the last egg on the bookshelf because we felt she had downed enough candy. A little while later she spotted it and held it up with an expression that saide, "look what I found!" Apparently, she ate too much candy because sometime that night it all came back up. 

You HAVE to watch this video. Watching it really put my day into perspective big time. I wish I had been this good as a youth. I'm so impressed. And the video has given me a new view on running with my girls in a stroller. I can do it!

How did this video make you feel? Did you cry like I did? Do you feel empowered? Ready to do some good?
