The latest

Overheard in the car this week:
Abigia wistfully says, "I hope I can be a pirate someday...."
Eliana replies in an encouraging voice, "Don't worry, Abigia."



Abigi and Eldana are sick - colds? respiratory infections? They are miserable off/on. Me, too. I haven't caught it (yet) but it stinks having sick kids. Matt and Eliana and I are all feeling a little suspect... we'll see what happens in the next day or so, see if we'll come down with it, too. It's a great way to spend a holiday weekend.

Speaking of which, does anyone else despise the notion of a bunny who comes into your house and leaves chocolate, eggs, and jellybeans to celebrate the resurrection? I just can't get behind it. And the more I think about it, the more I dislike it. Yes, we're doing baskets and the whole bit anyway, but I just don't embrace it.

My new favorite food: lentils! I had been using lentils when I cooked Ethiopian food for over a year, now, but have recently expanded my lentil recipe collection. I have a list of recipes I can't wait to try! Tonight we had Lentil Curry. 3 nights ago we had a lentil loaf! I know it sounds disgusting, but it's fabulous.

Ok, off to do something productive. A mom has to take advantage of these few quiet hours when the kids are knocked out.

Happy Easter!
