So, I channeled Sandra Lee and Rachel Ray tonight to make dinner for me and Boyd. We fried catfish last night and had one large filet left. I put it in the oven to heat up. I make what I'm calling a salsa slaw to add to it. I had some cabbage which I sliced and added a can of corn, a can of Rotel tomatoes, half of an orange bell pepper and about one tablespoon of mayo and 2 tablespoons of sour cream. Oh, and a squirt of rice vinegar.

I chopped up the catfish, put it in warm corn tortillas and topped it with my salsa slaw. Turned out really great!

So, it's 4:00 on Easter and my big kids ask to dye eggs. I don't have any official egg dye, so while I put the eggs on to boil, I scrounge the cabinets for food coloring. The lucky winners were yellow blue. Green is Dalton's favorite color, so we'll call this a win.

Taking the easy way out, I called the kids inside when they were cooled. I poured some vinegar in the water they were boiled in and then let each kid squirt in a color. I gave it a stir and let them sit. When the kids were back outside, I put a few more drops of the yellow & blue in the water and did not stir it. 

As you can see, it didn't give me world class art, but the kids were happy.

Nacho was chilling out and resting on Dalton and my shoulders. He likes to stay close to his boy.

Maggie Anne just brought me a rubber ducky and told me it was a present for me. She said I should keep it in my room, but I had to be careful because Swiper the Fox might come try to take it from me.

She told me that if Swiper comes to my room, I'm suppose to call God. In her very elaborate description, God will fly into my room and throw Swiper the Fox out of the house. God will then come back to see me and tell me to call Him again if I need him. Then he will fly away.

She started to walk away, then came back to ask me if I remembered all of her instructions because they are very important.

Like I said before . . . totally doomed!

Yes, that is my kitchen table!

Yes, I cleaned it after this.

Dalton had a fun Spring Break hanging out with Mike, Honey & Papa and his Uncle Andrew. They went exploring in the swamp and found this turtle. I'm as impressed that the turtle isn't scared as I am that Dalton isn't scared to touch it.

An announcement for the masses: The Nintendo DS will survive a dip in the bathtub! There's a spot at the corner of the screen that may not fully recover, but it does not interfere with game play. 

Poor Maggie Anne was pretty devastated when she thought that she has ruined her toy. We'll get to tell her tomorrow morning that it survived.
