On Sunday as we got in the car to go to my mothers-in-law in Georgia JDaniel must have touched a little of the green pollen that coated my husband’s car. He started rubbing his eyes within minutes of getting in the car. I washed his hands and face with Cetaphil to clean them off. (I carry small bottles on Cetaphil in his diaper bag.)

2. You can put a capital letter on one end of an egg and its lower case letter on the other. Break them open, mix them up, and have your child search for the match. I did eggs with matching capital letters for JDaniel.

Then he prays for the things and people he will encounter on that day.

JDaniel and I had fun tracking down blue and purple foods. BiLo had purple cauliflower on special this week and we found the purple potatoes from Peru at Whole Foods.
His tin contained blue tortilla chips, blueberries, purple potatoes (They are boiled in the picture above. I later mashed them.), meatloaf (non-purple meatloaf), a blueberry muffin Continue Reading

My friend gave them each bucket to carry and filled the eggs with toys, Continue Reading
