Blog a la Cart

This weekend, we headed to Cape Cod to celebrate Easter with Momar and Doda, and Auntie Kimmy and her beau, Jake. We arrived bearing embroidered eggs that James and I crafted side by side last week. Oh yes, even James embroidered. It’s a time consuming project but the results are fairly fantastic. Somehow, I did not document this most recent batch with the dSLR camera, so the iPhone snap above will have to suffice.

^^Kaki rocked bunny overall extenders courtesy of my 80s-childhood. So brilliant!^^

^^Sunny enjoyed Momar’s extensive American Girl Doll collection.^^

^^There was racing around the back yard and hysterical facial expressions.^^

^^Lots of visiting and snuggling and giggling. So much giggling.^^

^^We dyed eggs with some natural dyes from our local food coop. The colors were far more brilliant than I’d predicted. We let the girls color on the eggs in crayon before dying.^^

^^While chilly and windy, the sun was shining all weekend long (which was not the case in Vermont), so we enjoyed an outdoor egg hunt…

^^… and time strolling an empty beach on Sunday. On Saturday, we spent lots of time visiting and playing outside, and then all headed to see Cinderella and swoon at the wonder of her blue ball gown.^^

^^We snuck in some family portraits, too. And the minivan proved her worth during her inaugural Cart family road trip. It’s like traveling in a space ship. So much room. So much ease. I heart minivan life. And I am not ashamed to admit it.^^
