Happy Easter 2011
April 24th, 2011 by ninja
With both kids barely back to health and the grounds still soggy from Saturday’s torrential downpour, we decided to skip the crowds this year and have our own little egg hunt at home … old school German style. Every Spring, the local art supply store orders the old-fashioned, German cardboard egg container that i grew up with as a child. Apparently, there is one single manufacturer left in all of Europe who makes them – using the very same technique, traditional artwork, and floral liners they did 40 years ago. In the evening, there was a second eggstravaganza, Italian style: our neighbor gave Mika and Tobin two over sized chocolate eggs, each about as big as it’s proud new owner’s head.

I think he had to unhinge his jaw to get a handle on the egg. But where there’s chocolate, there is a way!
Re: four eyes. I can go through the day without glasses, but reading has become increasingly more blurry. The problem is: if i read/work in the morning and my eyes have adjusted to the glasses, then it is near impossible to take them off. The eyes just can’t *switch* easily between glasses and no glasses.

There’s the contact lens option…perhaps it’s more tedious?
