Online silliness:
- Most ridiculous/hilarious product ever. It's not what it looks like.
- For when you just need a little chuckle: Catalog Living (the funny lives of people in your catalogs). Thank you to my great SIL for pointing me to this one.
- YouTube video: Katy Perry Firework - the REAL video
- Great time-waster (online sketching) for those days when all you have to do is stare at the computer. I even tried praying in color with it.
- Jamie the Very Worst Missionary's post on being a parent: Carniverous Turtles, Bush Babies and other spiritual things.
- Rachel Held Evans's posts: 13 Things that Make Me a Lousy Evangelical and 13 Things that Make Me a Lousy Progressive. I can relate to both.
- Rustic Apple Pie. With vanilla ice cream rather than cheddar cheese. Mmmmmm. I've wanted to try one of these apple pies without a pie pan for a while now but just finally did it yesterday. If it didn't require chopping apples, I could see this becoming a habit. Maybe next time I'll actually try the cheddar cheese!
- Signs of spring:

| Our tulip bulbs are sprouting! |
- A neighbor friend (girl) came over to play with My Girl, and they played with cars and built tracks and towers with blocks - no boy in sight. Afterwards, they performed a puppet show about a princess, her wizard father and her pet penguin, including a song about why penguins are the best pets. Princesses, penguins AND cars - that makes me happy.
- I helped out at My Boy's preschool choir this week. When his dad asked him if he liked having me in his class, he said, "No." Very matter-of-fact-ly. And he refused to change his mind. Now, I know this would crush some moms, but it just made me laugh. So Very Honest!
- My Girl's choir teacher told My Man that The Girl was quite funny telling all the kids how to do their parts (for a musical they're working on), "but she has the talent to back it up!" A Diva in the making? Oh my. Once again, how did This Girl come from me, the timid wallflower? Ah, the wonderful vagaries of genetics!
- We're going to try to make this salt dough Lenten Sprial Wreath. We'd love to buy this one, but it's a little pricey (understandably so - it's beautiful and handmade), so we'll try a homemade version this year. My last experience with salt dough was a bit disastrous. Let's hope this one (which is simpler) will work better!
- Oh my goodness, these Scrappy Hearts are so dang cute! I'm sure My Girl would love them, but I'm not sure I have cool enough fabric for such things. And most of my crafting time (which hasn't been much lately) is spent on more *useful* things. But maybe I could make something just for fun.
