The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 5

[KMH1]

Well Miss Smarty Pants I cooked them for over an hour becuse I hasd so many and it was in such a big pot !!! They weren't coming to a boil for a while so I turned them up and cooked them longer that way and then I had heard tho let them sit on the stove in warm for about 15 mins.. That equaled out to about an hour. Also I am very picky about boiled eggs and I have to have them 100% cooked no undone parts so I always cook them a little longer than most people...SO THERE!!!

I just gave Carli and Kyle a nice long bath and now Kyle is sobbing in pain, saying his ear hurts....This may be a long night!!!! Croos your fingers that a little Motrin helps him through the night.....

Hope you guys have a great Easter!!!! What are you all doing???

I was just curious! We still haven't decorated our eggs yet, so I'm going to try Dawn's posted directions from Emeril tomorrow!

Sending lots ot to Kyle!

We don't have any big plans tomorrow: church, decorate eggs, dinner at Kevin's mom's house.

I'm so bored tonight. We're actually all caught up on our TV shows and we don't have any new movies to watch either. Kevin suggested we play a game. And no, it's not "Find the Turtle." Ewwwwwww!

I might be back later...

Really??? You've not all got the days off from work? They're public holidays here so shops are open - but for limited hours - and things like banks, postal services etc are closed.

How wierd - I assumed they would be for you guys too

I knew that as SA also has a 4 day weekend, here there are very few holidays where the offices close so we miss them all!!!!

Yes, he told me to warn all of you that have turtles to be careful.

Oh, I thought maybe your DH had 2 turtles!

So do I , Jennifer! And yours is just perfect, don't you think?

Oh Yes, Yes, Yes I love it.

Heaven forbid! I can barely handle the one.

And while we were waiting for the cupcakes to cool, we went to a dog park nearby and I played with my camera a little .... although it was too muddy to really bother, so it didn't last long.

These aren't the clearest pictures, because I wasn't really messing with the settings at all.

Is your baby little? From other pics I always thought she was a big dog, but the one by the fence has me rethinking that.

 

[bengalbelle]

Congratulations Dawn! I'm so glad to hear this! Is everything going well? And what is the count down until the sonogram????

Marti, I expect you to keep up with these things

I'm so allergic to smoke, I don't do bars. I would be coughing, tearing and pi$$ing my pants the whole time.....

That is so me!!!

Hi All - my typical random drive by posting:

Guess what we made today?? The tye die cupcakse - thanks Dawn!!!! While I know you posted it, I couldn't get Kristine out of my mind! Matt absolutely loved doing it !

I have another Easter tip that we just learned this year - I'll never dye another egg using the dye and vinegar. Matt's second grade teacher gets credit for this one: Using a pin, puncture the ends of a raw egg, blow out the guts (Matt LOVED this part) and then decorate using Sharpie markers. We bought a pack of 18 for about $14 at Target and it has some cool colors. Use a hot glue gun to attach a ribbon to the top and you can hang them. Keep them after Easter for next year in an egg container. So much better than trying to boil them (OK OK I didn't do a great job with that either Julie!) and you get to keep them year after year. I'll include pictures tomorrow. But they come out cool!

Couldn't you have posted this about 3 hours ago??? Sounds really cool, we'll have to try that next year!!!

Reposting in case I left anything out:

1 dozen large eggs
Water to cover
Pinch salt

Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Season with a pinch of salt. Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cover with a lid. Allow the eggs to sit for 11 minutes. Drain and cool the eggs for 2 minutes in ice water. Drain and peel the eggs.

I know nobody will be here tomorrow, so look at my baby ticker everybody!

Tomorrow I'm half way there

That is wonderful news! Woo Hoo!

And here are a few zoo pictures! The rest are here , if anyone really wants to look at them (only a couple pages). It's time for Zoo Blooms, so there are some gorgeous flowers... but I won't bore the rest of you who don't want to see them!

And from this point on, all I wanted to do was swim!:

You have a beautiful zoo! I miss the StLouis zoo a lot. The one that I've been to here wasn't to great. The new camera and you take great pics together.

Marti, I expect you to keep up with these things

4 days

Aw come on - I knew it was a matter of days - I just couldn't remember how many!

 

[Steamboat Marti]

Couldn't you have posted this about 3 hours ago??? Sounds really cool, we'll have to try that next year!!!

I wanted to make sure that it worked first! I'll take pictures tomorrow and post them then.

 

[bengalbelle]

Can anyone tell me where to find the EBay transfer paper?

 

[marcij]

Love this one since I am such a cruisaholic!!!
6 weeks till we board!!!!

Which cruise are you going on? We're doing the Western for the first time, and I'm worried about excursions.

Hi all!

Sorry I missed the Minnie/Mickey talk last night! I almost spilled my Diet Coke all over the keyboard!!

While you were chatting we had our first fire in our outdoor fireplace last night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DH spent all last summer building our patio and the fireplace and we finally finished it the weekend before we went to WDW. By the time we got back it was too cold in the evenings to enjoy it . The whole block came down to help us celebrate- we had a ball!
Here's a picture of it:

Have a Happy Easter!!!!!!!!!

Love it, even called DH away from watching Narnia to come see it!!
