Easter, 2009; God's Creatures

The Easter Bunny was organized this year, and choose an individual color for each girl. Candace had blue, and all of her 10 eggs were in plain view.....




Caitlyn's color was green. Most of her eggs were partially hidden.










And Cassie's 10 eggs were yellow; definitely in locations that made her "work" a little for them.....










I had to giggle though! Each girl had one "final" egg that stumped them and couldn't find. Cassie's was hiding in a plant on the stairwell; Caitlyn's was hiding in a little cup on the end-table, and Candace's....well.........can YOU see it???? I played "hot-n-cold" with ALL the girls to help them find it......they stood around this little cart for over a minute until Caitlyn was the first to see it.....

Here is a shot of the baby quilt I whipped out this morning. An appropriate name for this time of year, God's Creatures is finished, and tonight, I hope to attach a label and it'll be shipped off to its new owner tomorrow.

I feel good---having run a bit over 2 miles with little walking today (maybe 300 total meters???; 100 meters at the top of one climb, and then 200 meters for the duration of the last slow climb.)

Okay---girls are hungry, and so am I. I've had a pork roast in the slow-cooker since 11:00 am and it smells Da-lish! I just checked on it before I sat, and it's already falling off the bone. yes!!

Happy Sunday!

Mama bought some new shoes....

I don't know what's more motivating for my running; the beautiful weather outside, or the new pair of shoes for the season ahead! This year, I'm sticking with Asics (bought the Gel-1140's in the color pictured). Tried 'em out with a VERY easy 2 miles yesterday; needing to walk a good half-mile. Whew! I'm actually gearing up to head out again shortly for another easy 2 miles. I think I'll give myself a week of "easy" miles in order to build up my mileage again. But, starting next Sunday, I reallllllly need to get back to some solid (and DEDICATED) training. Julie (running buddy) and I are planning on running a 10K & 5K back-to-back (called the Ultra) coming up in early June, so.....gotta get going!

I finished up a very (VERY) simple baby quilt this morning; I used a baby animal panel, so it went together lickity-split!

Anyway---off to get dressed for a run.....

Happy Easter!
