Coloring Eggs

It's been a good 7 years since I've decorated Easter eggs, and since Spencer has never been interested in coloring them with me, I asked my neighbor Becky if she wanted to. It turned out it that she hadn't done it for a while either, so we set out to decorate this morning. I certainly learned that I'm not that great at boiling eggs. Is there some secret to it? What started as a full dozen ended up being a lame 9. Good thing Becky made some too, or we would have been done in like 10 minutes.

Little Macie thought throwing the eggs in the dye was the coolest thing ever, and it was certainly entertaining to watch her break and then peel some of the eggs... or take a huge bite out of one and then have a look of utter disgust cross her face.

Best Husband Ever

Thanks to a gift card that came in a well-timed birthday card yesterday afternoon (Thanks Jared and Barbara!), Spencer and I went to the Olive Garden for dinner last night. We had a good time, and when we were almost home Spencer said, "I have a surprise for you," and made me put on a blindfold. I was thoroughly confused by this, and I spent the next 15 minutes guessing where we were going. I could tell we were headed downtown, but Spencer wouldn't tell me why. When we finally parked and got out of the car, I found out what we were doing. As an early birthday present, he took me to see this:

I was so excited!

The show was really great- totally funny, full of great music, and much cleaner and happier than the book. Thanks for the perfect birthday gift, Spencer! You're the best.

Car Show

Our Saturday night date was going to the Cleveland Car Show at the massive IX Center. It was fun checking out all the cars, especially the ridiculously expensive ones that cost like $100,000. They were pretty, but I don't really understand why anyone would buy a pricey sports car when you can really only ever legally go about 80 mph. Regardless, we had fun choosing our future vehicles:

Spencer had his eye on this Lexus for his "work car."

We'd get this Jeep for our frequent off-roading adventures.

And this Bumblebee Camaro would be our family car for running around town.

(HA- yeah right!)

But for real, we liked this Ford Explorer:

It was one of Ford's concept cars, which I thought were the most fun to look at. They were totally futuristic, very neat, and sleek! I don't think this one will ever be produced in real life, but it would be pretty awesome to have as a family vehicle.
