Makin' memories, folks.

Hope everyone had a pleasant weekend. Is it just me, or do people not do anything for Easter anymore? When I was in school or working, I always seemed to either have good Friday or "Easter Monday" off to extend the weekend. Scott had to work both days, so Sunday seemed like just another Sunday.

North Carolina has been having a cold snap over the past week or so. We've gone from 85 degree heat to "Shit, need to go back and get a coat" weather in the matter of a few hours. I HATE THAT. Just as the congestion was starting to clear out of my head, it's come back and now my ear is all stuffed up again.

Wait. How did I get off-topic that fast? Oh yes. Easter. Long-time readers know that we're not particuarly religious, however would feel a bit empty if we didn't recognize certain traditions from childhood. So, we do the best we can to re-create those for the baby. I decided last minute that he should have an Easter basket this year, and by the time I sent Scott out to pick some stuff up there wasn't much left. (Incidentally, have you ever tried looking for Cadbury Creme Eggs the day before Easter? Because they don't exist by that point.)

I had plans for us to go take Easter pictures outdoors so that Rosco could have a chance to wear his little seeersucker jumper, but like I said: cold. My sister and I always got new dresses for Easter when we were kids and someone would always make us stand outside on my grandmother's porch and model them for snapshots. I hated it, but can appreciate the value of there being some record of us from year to year. (In fact, here's a picture of my sister modeling a homemade dress, circa 1986 or so).

Well. This year's pictures have me and Rosco in our pajamas. Of the three of us, Scott was the only one to shower and dress for the day and that was only for the sake of buying coffee creamer.

Yeah. We need to improve on this holiday thing.
