She GOT Easter this year. She was ready for that mischievous bunny. She set her empty plastic eggs out the night before and woke up Easter morning ready to go. She used the nontraditional hunting method of leaving her basket in one spot and returning each egg to it one at a time, but she found them all in the end. One yellow egg gave her a wee bit of trouble, but she found it.

Once she could see past that she noticed that Santa had filled her doll house, which she had gotten from The Rinrins the night before, with all sorts of furniture! She was a happy candy cane girlie!

One of the traditional gifts for the sixth anniversary is sugar. Bret interpreted that as candy. For our anniversary he arranged for us to visit the beautiful home where we got married and have a friend take pictures of us. The woman who owns the home, her name is Candy.
Scarlett had just enjoyed her first raspberry. When I asked if I could have a bite she pretended to give it to me and at the last second ate it herself. Sneaky babe.
six
Almost sixteen years ago I met a boy. He wore Metallica t-shirts and a Notre Dame hat. His head was shaved except for a strip down the center. Over the next year he would become my best friend and my first kiss.
Almost fifteen years ago I asked that boy to be my boyfriend. He was sitting on the kitchen counter at my parents house. It was his sixteenth birthday. His parents had just arrived to pick him up to take him to dinner. He kissed me before he ran out the door to their car.
Ten years ago I had to tell that boy good bye. I was going across the state for college. He was staying home. We didn't know what that would mean. We were staying together, but very far apart.
About eight years ago that guy made me Cinderella. With a secret diamond, in front of a fairy tale castle. He knelt on cobble stones and he asked me to marry him.
Six years ago tomorrow I married the man who would make me a mama. Who makes me laugh every day and drives me crazy. Everyday. I hope beyond all measure that we're given enough years that this first six feels like just the tip of the iceberg.
splash monster
Every morning this weekend we filled her pool up to be heated in the sun all day. We'd go out to play after dinner. Every evening she would feel the water and look at him and say "Warmer? Warmer, please Daddy." Every night he'd put two large pots of warm water in her pool so she could splash us comfortably.
She's undeniable. We're in for so much trouble.
