Hazel has started a little skip and a jump move, appropriately debuted amongst puddles after the rain yesterday. She displayed her new skill repeatedly today, indoors and out. She is delighted with the air she can catch (and the reaction I give her, I am sure!). It's pretty amazing to think that this time last year we were cheering her on as she mastered rolling over.

Overstimulation Equals Money Saved, Not Spent
I went to the mall last night and hated it.
Why am I surprised? Every time I go to the mall I hate it. Which may help explain why I haven't been to a mall in two years.
It's a combination of overstimulation and expectations destroyed.
I think to myself, The mall will have a bigger selection. Which is true, to a point. But not a larger selection of what I am looking for, which is just reasonably priced, modest and classy clothing.
Most of all, I hate weaving through the thick throngs of people amid the noisy music and the bad lighting.
But there was one thing I saw that actually brought a smile to my face. True, it was because of its disgusting absurdity. But I giggled a little and took a picture on my phone.
HOW is that mannequin supposed to make me want to step inside that store???
And where does everyone else go to shop for clothes?
Target ain't doin' it for me no mo'.

Happy Easter!
Yesterday we had an Easter egg hunt at the park with some friends. We've spent the last few days practicing egg huntin' in the house so Hazel would know what to do. She has loved searching for the little eggs, whether or not there is a treat inside them. The past 48 hours, more often than not she's had Todd's basketball basket in the crook of her arm, walking through the house to the sound of little plastic eggs jangling and plunking against each other. This game should keep us happy and busy for at least a week more.
