Girl with a Pink Face. Okay, maybe a red one.

Ha!

I'm very sunburned. And I have a cold. We all have sunburns. And we all caught Abbie's cold.

Easter was a sunshiny day that was forecasted as a rainy one. I packed kites anyway, though. We went to Josh's family's house. After politely waiting for everyone else to arrive, we got out the kites, thinking we only had a short time until everyone would have to come in due to rain. The kids found eggs, and then I started with the kites. Abbie's ladybug kite really is pretty good. The problem with that is even though my feet were sore and my back tired and my nose sunburned, all the kids kept wanting more kite-ness, so I was out there longer than even I wanted. Sydney's kite got stuck in mine, and that started some serious crankiness, including screaming and tears from her, and calm untangling by me. Saved by lunch, we went in after that, but after lunch, Abbie handed me the kite. Josh slunk away to have 2 desserts, and back out I went with the kite!

So, I'm fried. We had a few kite disasters. Sydney let go of hers and it ended stuck in the neighbor's barbed wire fence. Later, I asked Josh to hold the kite while I fixed another one up and he let go and had to chase it into the same neighbor's yard. Then, at the same time, Mariah let hers go, too! It was kind of a "race for the kites" moment. It ended happily, though. All kites were recovered unharmed.

Josh spent a long time stubbornly trying to get the airplane kite to fly, but it never stayed up for long.

Grant played baseball with Grandpa and later with Josh. We also did an egg toss. I had to stop early because Grant and Abbie were partners and Abbie caught a boiled egg with her face. She was very startled and was waiting to see if it was worth it to cry. I just said, "Oh, look! Your egg is ready to eat now. Let's go peel it and rinse it, and then you can eat it up."

This morning my mommy came to visit! She brought me lovely flowers to plant! YAY! And we all went out for Chinese. Josh has been wanting Chinese for a week, so that was very jolly.

And now, if I hurry up and get shoes, we are off to play at Ms. Lisa's house! Have a happy Monday!
