Dreaming of a White Easter

Busy busy... as usual.

The sun stays out almost 15 hours a day. So we're getting into that time where you forget it's past your bedtime because the sun hasn't set yet.

I've bought some materials to make blackout shades for Alicia's bedroom. With our new daycare schedule, she has to go to bed at 7:30pm in order to get enough sleep and still leave the house by 6:45am. I'm thinking of shifting my work schedule so that we don't need to be in Anchorage until 8 or 8:30.

As you can see from the photos, we had a colorful, sugar-packed, Easter holiday. Alicia went to the Easter egg hunt at the church on Saturday and wore her new sundress, bonnet, and matching purse.

On Easter Sunday, she wore her "garden dress" with the Easter themed apron. Okay, it's not exactly "her" dress... It was made for Tess when she was that age. So the Easter apron has been worn a total of 2 times...

It's a good thing she wore the sundress the day before, because it snowed on Easter Sunday... all day. It was snowing when we got up, and it continued to snow into the late afternoon when we finally got around to having our outdoor egg hunt. Tess and Alicia hunted for eggs bundled up in coats.

Stephen was able to take his inaugural ride of the season on Saturday. The ice finally cleared off the road enough for him to get through. He'd been chipping away at the driveway each evening after work. Hopefully we don't get any more blizzards before Spring really arrives. Our temperatures are venturing into the 40s every day. Soon we won't even need to wear a coat!
