Eggs and Vinegar

It's not a science experiment (ever made a rubber egg?), it's the smell of my house- unfortunately. Must be egg decorating day! I made sure to grab up some white eggs from the store just for dying and half of them blew up in the boiling water- not sure what that means- so we did some of our brown ones too. We got some interesting shades and the boys had fun- what more can you ask for!?

Serreta Revisited

A couple weeks ago we finally got the kids out to Serreta- the park Kevin and I found a while back. We packed up some snacks and spent a few hours walking around, exploring and playing at the park. One little boy played on the teeter-totter with us for quite a while- he spoke some English but his favorite phrase was "oh my God!" which he kept yelling as we hopped up and down. It takes a good 45 minutes to get there, surprising considering the size of the island, so next time we go I think we'll make it for the whole day!




Evolution of the 'Stache





March was fun but also hairy! I don't know why the the coming spring makes men want to grow facial hair for fun but that's just what our goofy guys in uniform were up to. Because of the fuzz I was eager to welcome April. Kevin had to tease, of course, that he was thinking of keeping his facial accessory but I was ready to take matters into my own hands (in the middle of the night) if needed. He's back to his smooth, handsome self which makes it more fun to look back at the pictures, laugh and share them with everyone in the online world. And for all of his taunters who weren't impressed with his 'stache - he grows an outstanding goatee!
