Dying Eggs

Today I had so much fun watching Will dye egges. Before we started I was convinced that the whole ordeal was going to be one big mess. But to my great surprise Will did quite good at dying eggs. We started off by placing a egg in the dye and then helping Will take it out with a spoon. Eventually will was able to put the egg in himself and take it out of the cup with a spoon. Before we knew it, Will had his own system down. He would take an egg, plop it into the dye, point his finger commanding Mimzy (Grandma Vanlaningham) to take the egg and dye and set it would the other eggs. Then Mimzy would ask if he wanted another (he would nod his head yes). Once all the eggs where in the dye, he would take his spoon, inspect them and then either plop them back in to get more color or point with his finger (suggesting that the egg was done and should be placed on the drying rack) The whole time as Will plopped eggs in and stuck his little hand into the dye to retrieve the finished product his face lit up with intrigue and giggles.

Spring at Last

As I look forward to the end of the school year, I have to reconize the beauty which spring brings each year. I saw this flowers and was so excited, spring is finally hear (although one might not be able to notice spring is here when it is still snowing and snow is in next weeks forcast). I hope that you all are having a great day and I love you so much.

Wind and Lightning

Last night was one of the best nights we have had weather wise since summer. I was studying late for a test and when I went back to my room I was surprised at how warm it was. It was about sixty five degrees and very windy. A storm had just blown over and another one was one its way. I was almost to my room when I saw lightning light up the clouds in the horizon. I quickly decided to stay outside and enjoy the far off storm. Boy, was it beautiful about every thirty seconds flashes of lightning out outline the tall billowy clouds in the distance giving off a yellowish white glow. After about five minutes I went back to my room grabbed a camping chair, and sat on top of a hill with my RA watch one storm leave and other approach. The experience is hard to describe but it was sure worth staying outside to enjoy it. As the next rain started to fall a fresh spring, rain smell filled the air. Lightning spit the sky in several peaces and a pleasantly warm wind blew against your face.
