tiptoe through the tulips

You guys! TULIP FEST! 

On Mother's Day (Hi Mom!), we drove to Woodburn, OR (15 min North of Salem), to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm.

GO VIKES!

cute, right?

Happy Spring!!

in which I explore new (to me) music that most people have already heard

I am anything BUT on the cutting edge of what's hot and new and sweet in the world of music.
That said? If you aren't listening to Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, you should be. They're just so happy!

if you JUST want to hear the song, you'll need to find a different vid - I think watching them live would be kind of unreal in a good-vibe-y, feel-great sort of way...

I love places where you can draw on your table...

a little Easter activity...

If you know me, you know that my family is very close, and wildly entertaining (if you don't know me, read the last part of that sentence?), and last weekend did not disappoint.

My aunt shared a little Easter fun-tivity with us after dinner on Friday that I couldn't help but pass along to you and the interwebz:

(Also, I know it isn't Easter yet, but does it matter? nope, it doesn't.)

more than one marshmallow per person was consumed during this funtivity/photo shoot.

Hand out one large marshmallow to each person at the table....the marshmallow represents Jesus.

"The body of Jesus, jet-puffed for you .... the butter of Jesus, melted for you..."

Dip Jesus into a dish of melted butter...the butter represents the oils Jesus was anointed with.

"What have we done?!?"

"No, really....what have we done?"

Roll Jesus in sugar and cinnamon...the herbs that accompanied the oils.

Wrap Jesus in a crescent roll triangle - linens.

And pop Jesus in the oven---er---tomb for three days? More like ten minutes?

very cute!

Serve the buns piping hot - they should be hollow....Jesus is risen! (except not yet, okay?!?)

"AWE!"

"Where did he go?"

Again.... "What have we done?!"

I must say, as a bit of a disclaimer, that this post wasn't meant to offend, and that we take the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord very seriously - but as the daughter of a pastor, and wife of a soon-to-be pastor: if you can't laugh at life, you're missing out.

Also? the buns were DE-LISH! :)
