Touch of Spring; Quick Dessert; Mall Moments

Touch of Spring:

Caitie and I spent last Tuesday afternoon out back enjoying the beautiful weather; here is a pic of her searching for four-leaf clovers in the backyard. I type this as I sit wrapped in a blanket with the heat turned up due to a cold front that came through recently.



Quick Dessert:

Most, if not all of you, have probably made the following quick dessert, but I decided to include it here anyway. It brings spring to mind, which is just around the corner. All you need is a 6 oz containter of Yoplait Key Lime Pie yogurt, one graham cracker, and a couple of dollops of Cool Whip. You can either crumble the graham cracker in the bottom of a bowl, add the yogurt, then top with the Cool Whip, or you can just crumble the graham cracker in the yogurt as I did, and include the Cool Whip on top...



then enjoy! :) It's a quick, cool, refreshing snack.



Mall Moments:

We went to the mall the other day; we don't go to the mall often, we're more Target and Wal-Mart kinda shoppers. I decided to get my Flip Recorder out and record a bit of the mall shopping experience. The video clip is a bit lengthy, I think it's around four minutes, so you may want to watch it when you have absolutely nothing else to do and are bored out of your mind. There's not a whole lot to it, but thought I would include it here anyway. As you'll notice, Caitie has a thing about mannequins, especially ones missing body parts, and she also likes playing with items on display; of which we almost got in trouble for. She went on a short kiddie train ride and pouted due to not getting to make a stuffed animal at the Bear Factory. She helped me out in the dressing room at a maternity shop, she also helped her Daddy pick out some new shoes at Payless Shoe Store. We tried to get him to try on a pair of men's sandals, but it was a no-go; he doesn't like open-toed shoes. She also had fun riding the escalator at Macy's.
