Cooking and Easter eggs, oh my!
On Friday we got to Santa Fe just fine..even though getting up at 5 something is painful, it's better than flying overnight and trying to sleep on the airplane. I didn't have a window seat on the way to Seattle, but I could see a little of the Alaska Range from where I was sitting (the guy at the window was taking lots of pics, I hope he got some good ones!). Aunt Cindy picked us up at Albuquerque and drove us the 50-60 miles to Santa Fe. Earlier in the day Dean stepped off something wrong and sprained his ankle pretty badly..it was really swollen. Ouch! Their dog Blanca was happy to see mom and I hehe. We played a trivia game and talked and then went to bed (my bed has four posts, nice! LOL. I've been teased mercilessly since telling Cindy and Dean about how hard it is for me to say "post"..I wouldn't say it when they were there lol)
Yesterday Dean went to the clinic for his ankle (a bad sprain, like he thought). He's been having to ice it and elevate it and can just manage to hobble around..he hates not being able to do much! The rest of us did errands and stuff..at the store, mom and Cindy were like "you should help us chop up stuff for dinner!" I groaned and was like "if I say IT, do I not have to cook?" and mom said "if you say post ten times in a row without stuttering then you don't have to!" Oh NOOO impossible haha!! Indeed, I failed immediately when I tried saying it LOL, so they had me chop a bunch of vegetables haha. Tedious, which is probably why they wanted my help. :P I kept practicing with "post," and eventually could say it without stuttering! Everyone was proud. :D It was kinda fun showing my skills off then LOL. It was cool eating dinner and saying "behold, I chopped this!" haha. After dinner we played Catan, in which I lost dreadfully, talked more, and eventually went to bed
Today we dyed and decorated Easter eggs! Dean is still very bored, but not bored enough to decorate eggs haha. My drawing skills aren't great, but I did alright I guess. Dinnertime should be soon..I wonder if I'll have to help again :P
"Put the shavings in the comp-p-post pile?" I tried!! Haha (now when Cindy takes pics of me, she says "smile, say post!" because my face does something like this LOL)
"OMG HEATHER'S IN THE KITCHEN DOING STUFF??!?" Haha awesome :P
Decorating eggs
My creations! Cindy asked if I was going to post them and I said "yes, I'm going to p-p-post them!" Aw man! Apparently I have to start over each day. :P Why does the word have to be so common?? LOL
7 - World Health Day: Founded in 1950 by the World Health Organisation. What could you start to do today that will have a positive effect on your health? Drink more water?
8 - Zoo Lovers Day: Do you think zoos do an important job in teaching and conservation or do you think it is time to stop keeping animals in captivity? They do (there definitely are bad zoos out there though), though I still feel bad about the animals being in captivity
9 - Name Yourself Day: Maybe you always felt like your name didn’t reflect who you are, or maybe you just want to try something new. If you could re-invent yourself for one day by choosing a new name, what name would you choose? I've always liked Morgan..
