Eggs-tra Special
Our giant egg was a double yolker! Let me tell you how exciting that was to crack open and find.

Eggs and Stuff
Well, I am way behind on blogging. Daphne has been super ill this past week and we are back to no longer sleeping around here. Remember when she slept through the night? Yeah, that was so nice.
On a lighthearted note, one of our chickens laid the largest egg of all time a couple days ago. I think she must be half ostrich. It cracks me up every time I look at it because it is so huge. I've never taken so many photos of an egg before.
Can you see the giant? It's a little hard to miss.
The egg carton doesn't close over it.
I realize that probably no one else will find this large egg interesting in the least, but did I mention how much it cracks me up?
Talking about eggs just brings us right into the fact that today is Easter. Daphne has been sick, like I mentioned, and last night was not a good night for the two of us. I was afraid we weren't going to make it to church which is sad because Easter services are always so nice. We decided to go but just not put Daphne in the nursery (to keep her germs to herself) and be prepared to leave early if she started to have an illness-induced breakdown (which she did). Plus she had a cute dress to wear that...wait for it...I made for her. That's right, I made it. With a square of fabric, needles and thread. No Scotch tape or staples or anything.
I couldn't get her to look too excited about it. She really didn't like the big bow next to her neck. The dress initially had long flowing tails of ribbon cascading down to the hemline, but I trimmed them up to save her some grief.
Isn't it great to know that if she and I were stranded on a deserted island and I had all the proper tools, I could fashion her a modest covering?
She showed a moderate interest in her Easter basket. Last year we didn't get her one since we knew she didn't care, but this year I was really excited about making a basket for her. David picked out the police motorcycle, I found the book and I made the two stuffed animals. I believe that being able to sew stuffed animals takes me to an all new level of cool. Never mind that David said the giraffe was really cute but that the elephant looked like a cat with one long ear.
Excited about church.
Getting ready to pull out her flower clip.
The nose bubbles are back.
Happy Easter, everyone!

For the Love of Bacon
Daph got her first taste of her daddy's favorite food yesterday.
She likes it.
Good thing she has an in with a bacon supplier.
Although I don't know if she will ever have to stay home from elementary school to watch a pig butchering. Nor will she innocently wake up one morning, look out the kitchen window and be surprised to see a dead pig hanging upside down in the yard.
Not that these things have ever happened, because we all know that meat comes from a store. Duh.

Quick Message
Hey Guys,
I would love to stay and tell you about my day, but I've got places to go and people to talk to.
I'm very busy and my schedule is quite full, so I'll catch ya on the flip side.
P.S. I called this number: 473-327-3243434265221. I think that's the number for Mars, but I don't know for sure because Mom hung up real quick.
Love, Daphne

Issues
Daphne's shirt is too small. This is sad because I like it, and it would make a very good shirt for summertime.
Now it just rides up and exposes her belly in a most attractive way.
That's what you get for stuffing a 15 month-old's belly into a 9 month-sized shirt.
