Easter












The Easter Bunny made it to the Smith house, but he had to wait until after lunch due to the frigid temp. Hiding eggs when it is 32 and windy out, just isn't pleasant. While hunting eggs, it did snow (12 flakes, but it was still snow). Instead of Easter dresses we opted for sweatshirts and stocking caps.

St Patty's Day





Today they had a parade in Martin City (South KC on the MO side). The parade route went right in front of the nursery that Todd is working at during the weekends. So, we bundled-up, long-johns and all and headed out. Got there early. The girls had their faces painted. We rode the spinning apple and each played a game. The girls really liked the parade, especially the part when they throw candy. Didn't have the camera with me, would have been too much between balloons and prices and popcorn.

Behold the Madness





The kitchen has been unloaded so that we can paint the cabinets with a sprayer. Then paint the walls and then install our slate floors. I am hoping for a smooth process.

The Weather






Since I have been in KC, they have always said, "if you don't like the weather, just wait for tomorrow". Yesterday, great, sunny and 68. Last night, rain and thunderstorms.


Today....it was windy and 29 (we were supposed to have snow). We are done with winter!!!!
