Week in Review: March 29-April 4

It's funny because some weeks I feel like I didn't do much, & then I look back through my photos & realize I was completely wrong.
My favorite thing this week was something that sorta happened by accident. Every year the girls & I dye eggs & have a little hunt in our backyard. Well, my plans for Saturday Easter egg fun got nixed due to busyness. And at 8:00pm Sunday night (4 hours until Easter would officially be OVER), Zoey reminded me that we hadn't done any egg stuff. SO, we quickly dyed some eggs & then had a really fun egg hunt out back---in the dark with flashlights!! It just might have to become a tradition. 
Zoey & I went on a mini road trip to watch the sun set near Jail & Courthouse Rocks. It was a really special time. Just me & my girl. We snuck away while daddy & little sister napped on the couch.
I am anticipating the arrival of a visit from my parents & grandmother from Washington in less than 2 weeks!
Still camera hunting. Will be deciding in a couple days on my camera of choice. I feel so guilty getting something so grand & expensive, even though it's a gift. My birthday is approaching rapidly! I think it might be a slighltly sad one. Birthdays for me mean: dinner with family, special adventures with my mom, afternoon outings with girlfriends & silly fun all day long. Oh, & me, me, MEEEEE!!!
 
I've been getting really lovely emails lately from local folk about my newspaper column & it's makin' me feel rather special. I'm lovin' my newspaper job & it makes me feel important. I think working outside of being a stay-at-home mommy is good for me. Even if it's only 2 days a week. I even had my first "official" photography job (other than my MoCo photos) snapping pictures at the Bridgeport Easter Egg Hunt. What chaos! A learning experience for sure. I don't think I did so swell.
Oh, & little Pazely found one egg on the mad hunt. But her sweet sis shared one of her 4. A heart-melting moment for sure.
 
Ok, I've rattled on enough for one Monday. Have a happy one!
