When I grow up, I want to be...

Today, Annabel told us that she wants to be an egg-hunter when she grows up.

"And I could find eggs with Gaby" she said.

She's been on a week-and-a-half long Easter kick, and it doesn't seem to be letting up at all. Sue is here now and she reminded us that Annabel brought her Halloween pumpkin with her to Iowa when we went there for Christmas, so I guess at that rate, it's possible that Easter lasts all the way through the summer.

She also said that she wants to be an artist, a storyteller and a teacher when she grows up too...

Easter Sunday

Easter was quite an affair this year. Kristin set up Easter baskets for both kids and planted Easter Eggs all over the house for a morning Easter Egg hunt. Annabel LOVED it. Here is a video of her running around the house looking for eggs.

Kristin dressed them in matching Easter dresses, which I thought was hysterical, and we walked up Union street to the Union Street Easter festival and parade. Annabel had her first horseback ride on a little pony they had there and then we went on the spinning teacups. Mommy was already feeling a little sick, so daddy had to do teacups with the kids.

By the time we got off, I was feeling sick too...

There are princesses dancing in that castle.

We got some castle megablocks for the girls. Annabel and I made a big castle today and made up some stories about princesses and horses and castles.

Rick asked Annabel if that was a new castle set.

Annabel said "Yeah, and there is another castle outside.".

Rick said "oh really?"

Annabel said "Yeah, want to see?" Then she went to the window and pointed at Coit Tower.

"See, uncle rick? There's princesses dancing in that castle".

Here is a blurry picture of Annabel and the castle.
