Fabulous Friday: Daylight Savings Time

Posted by: Maggie

I don’t know about you but man has it ever been a long, cold, lonely winter for me. I consider myself to be pretty photosensitive. I don’t know if I have S.A.D. or what, but I am always much more melancholy in the winter. I know, I know, I live in SoCal. It’s still sunny most of the time. But there are definitely less sunshine hours in the winter. And I know those hours make a difference for me. I don’t know how people live in those parts of the country where it’s gray all year! Every year I can’t wait for Daylight Savings and Spring to show up so that I can feel like a normal person again! But now, it’s here! Finally! Here comes the sun!

So don’t forget everyone, Daylight Savings Time is this Sunday 2am! Time to spring forward!

Easter Fun

Posted by: Maggie

Easter morning, Eleanor’s Easter basket was waiting for her in the living room.  The Easter bunny had apparently let herself/himself in sometime Saturday night or early Sunday morning. Her basket included a Curious George notepad for Eleanor to tear up/scribble on, a polka-dot Easter egg, and a pair of polka-dotted socks.

Eleanor was so excited to find things to put in her mouth! When will she grow out of this stage?! It’s making me a little crazy.

She was most excited about her new socks. She loves socks. In the middle of the day, she will walk up to me and ask me to put socks on her, “ska, ska.” That Easter Bunny was so thoughtful!

She had the most fun with the Easter grass, of course.

After Eleanor’s nap, we headed over to Grandpa Keegan and Grandma Leila’s house for the family Easter egg hunt. Eleanor immediately ran past the grown-ups and headed straight for her second cousins.

Or maybe she was just after the croquet balls.

The hunt began.

Eleanor found her egg pretty easily, with a little help from her Daddy.

After finding it she decided that it needed to be cleaned off so she took it over to this water fountain.

After the hunt and some fun visiting with the family, we headed over to Go Go’s house for Easter dinner.

It was spring time in Go Go’s backyard. The flowers were in bloom on the pergola.

Eleanor got a great Easter gift from Go Go, a cute bee headband.

Go Go demonstrated for her. Eleanor thought it was hilarious.

After some fun we had a delicious dinner of deviled eggs, nicoise salad, and paninis.

New Hair!

Posted by: Maggie

We all got new spring time hair the weekend before last. Thanks Stacy!

Here are our before and after pics:

Josh didn’t change much, just a little shorter all over.

I lightened up a bunch, added some nice spring-timey red, and got a lot of new layers. I think I’m doing a decent job of styling it properly, but can’t seem to get the waves to last all day. My hair has an urge to straighten itself out right after I style it. Very annoying.

Eleanor got her first real hair style, a cute little bob. Her previous cuts have just been trims and bangs, but as her hair grew longer it became a little unruly. And because it is so fine, the longer it gets the more tangly it is. So we went with a shorter cut until it gets a little thicker and more manageable.
