Doing a quick blog drive-by because the house has been destroyed with all the contractors doing work -- dust everywhere and don't walk on that floor, don't use that shower, where did the cats go -- the fun never ends!
But I did get my office back together, and wanted to show some of my new things. The art banner below was made by Blooming Ideas. We did a trade -- she sent me the banner and I sent her jewelry. LOVE trades, and I do them all the time at craft shows. You can't really see, but that banner is full of awesomeness. (Larger photo here.)
Then all ten of the Kindergarten classes trooped out and made a ring around the yard. Was everyone acting like they were already full of sugar? Oh yes, they were.
Zack made sure I knew he hadn't cheated and snagged an egg before the whistle blew:
And then he just acted a little goofy. I don't know if he thought he was the Easter Bunny or the Easter Monster at this point....
And then, mass chaos. In 45 seconds, it was all over. Hundreds upon hundreds of eggs were snatched up.
I was very proud of my munchkin -- and actually, proud of his entire class. Some of the kids didn't get as many eggs as others, and there was a lot of trading and giving away of eggs. Zack was a sweetheart, passing out eggs to friends. I couldn't have asked for a better kidlet.
Asked how he thought the day went, he said, "It was Number One!"
And that was Zack's first Pandemoneum-Style Egg Hunt.

Amazing story about WWII and how it affects lives -- not just during the atrocities of the war, but afterwards, when the effects pass on to the children. If you are given the chance to save your child by doing things that repulse you, would you do them? And how do you cope with your feelings towards a rescuer who is a monster?
The book moves back and forth between Anna's life during the war and her daughter Trudy's current-day struggles. I won't write any more, because to do so would give away the story, and it's a book you really need to read.
