A Really Good Friday

As I look out the window at the pouring rain, I'm grateful for the beautiful day we had yesterday! Lovely warm, spring weather and lots of opportunity to be outside enjoying Good Friday! We were busy all day at Grandma's house making jambalaya, cleaning the kitchen, baking bread, cleaning the kitchen, making bacon buns, cleaning the kitchen...wish the Easter Bunny offered a cleaning service to all those hard working grandma's, mom's, aunts, etc. who are busy preparing for the family dinner.

After all the baking was done, it was time for the IrishKids to experience dying Easter Eggs. This was a first for both Kit and Fionn and they had a blast.

They loved seeing the egg change from plain ol' white to a vibrant color of their choice. And of course, they insisted on showing off their eggs to anyone who happened to stop in.
Doesn't he look happy with himself?

What a silly gir!

It was a great day and a special thanks to Grandma for letting us hang out and help on Good Friday!
To cap it all off the children took their baths and for the first time in 91/2 months - Lil' Miss Maggie actually enjoyed her bath! She didn't scream at us once! Ahhh -- success!

Happy Easter to you all!
