First Homegrown Easter Eggs

We finally got to use eggs from out little flock of chickens for Easter. As you know, last year they arrived from the Easter Bunny and this year they have produced a bounty for us to color. Most of the eggs were Professor Trelawney's eggs. Unfortunately, she was taken by a predator shortly after this. And then there was four.

Happy St. Paddy's Day

Todd and I went to a pub in the city to get the St. Patrick's Day experience. It has been a long time since we have done this. It was a lot of fun. I don't drink beer but it was fun posing with it because its me favorite color.

Vanessa's Hip Hop Experience

Vanessa tried a hip hop class in the spring. This was their final class to show the parents what they had learned.

Roasted Bunnies

Its the beginning of March and the weather is decent enough to have a camp fire. What better way to celebrate the beginning of March than roasting marshmallow bunnies. The chickens even liked the marshmallow but they didn't lay eggs the next day so I don't recommend that again.

Holy Bat Man!!!!

Todd is my hero. He was able to get another critter out of our house. Looked up on the ceiling this evening and was shocked to find a bat hanging from the log. At first, it kind of looked like a tarantula but then I knew what it must be. A BAT!!! Had to wake Todd up from his nap before work. Thank goodness for the Internet. Looked up "how to get a bat out of your house" and there was the solution instantly. It was a success, however, I do feel sorry for the bat as he was left on a rock cold and shivering. We took him from his obviously comfortable warm resting spot and put him out in the cold.

I can't help but keep looking up now to make sure he didn't find his way back in. Great, another thing to be paranoid about.

First Official Family Day

We spent family day in the city. We ate at the Elbow Room where the girls got to practice their French and then took a walk around Stanley Park. I like this new holiday.

 

Time to work on those Valentine's cards too.

 

Vanessa Attempts the Board

Vanessa has been taking swimming lessons and was brave enough to try the diving board. She was so scared at first but after one jump, we couldn't get her off it to go get showered and changed.
