Reminiscing

Ok so the duplex we lived in when we first moved to Iowa City was having an open house because it's for sale. So of course we had to go look. What a fun time we had remembering. Home Alone came out when we lived at that house so of course the kids wanted to slide down the stairs on a sled. Only problem was there was a wall at the bottom, not an open door. So they had to settle for rolling down it in sleeping bags. The rest of the house has been updated and is beautiful now, I don't think our furniture all matched when we lived there. The living room is pretty small, but the kitchen is huge and we remember lots of fun times in that kitchen having people over (I miss all those cupboards), watching the kids play out in the back with all the other neighbor kids (we moved when Blake was 2). We could see the neon sign from the Moose Lodge across the street that is now Willowwind School. It was a great place to grow our family for a few years.

Easter

We color eggs every year for Easter. This year Jacob missed the major coloring and did his the next day, but that was fine. We had lots of help and learned some new tricks with rubber bands! We have our standard eggs, the open tomb, He Is Risen, Walker Evans egg (long story), used to be a blood shot eye one, Cubs, we added an american flag that was cool and flowers etc. Jacob and I made this fun rabbit thingie out of frozen bread dough. Think we'll try other animals or maybe even something for the 4th of July!
