"Boo" Box

I get so excited about "boo" boxes, my hair sticks out!

Sleepy Head

Apparently, peanut butter wears Hannah out.

So after the kids were off to their babysitters, the Atlanta/Augusta crew got together and relaxed while eating some very tasty crawfish. This was the 10th annual party, and it may have been the last. Stephanie and Andrew really appreciate all of our friends coming to annual party. Stephanie and Andrew hope there will be more parties in the future, but if not, we might have to start a new tradition in Atlanta.

Daddy was asked (by Momma) to watch Hannah and make sure she does not get pinched by a live crawfish. As a responsible Dad, Daddy asked the nearest cousin to watch Hannah so he could continue to take pictures. McKay did a great job watching out for Hannah and protecting her. Good thing too, as Daddy would have been in big trouble if Hannah got pinched.

You would be surprised how tasty a plastic crawfish can be after it has survived 10 annual crawfish parties.

This is more like it. Instead of Bud Light and cooked crawfish, Hannah is now partying with a plastic crawfish and a Capri Sun! Then she was off to hang out with Aunt Debbie while the irresponsible adults partied the night away!

Hannah did pretty well not touching the crawfish when no one was watching (or when she thought no one was watching). She did get very close to getting bit a couple times, however she made it unscathed.

Pop got to hold Hannah. That was a big deal because all Hannah wanted to do was touch more live crawfish. She would change her tune if a live crawfish got its claws on her hand.

Here, Hannah actually got her hands on one. Knowing Hannah's mother, I do not think that was the plan.

Hannah made an appearance at the "Pre-Crawfish" party. About 1-2 hours prior to the adults arriving for the party, the kids get out and play/taunt the live crawfish. This year was the first time Hannah was able to check out the live crawfish. As you can see, she was not exactly sure what to think about them.

Hannah talks better than You do!

She is SO advanced.

Every child should watch this video to see how they should help Mom on a daily basis.

Turn that Frown Upside Down

If ever in need of "turning a frown upside down", whip up a sherbet/sprite concoction and put it in a cup WITH a straw. Magic.

How do you like my new lip liner?

A Stroll with Gorin

Uncle 'Gorin', Aunt 'Asheesh', Momma, and I walked to dinner last week in Historic Roswell. I got tired of the stroller, so Uncle 'Gorin' tossed me up on his shoulders. After a while I wanted to run out in traffic, but they wouldn't let me for some reason.

My 'too-toons' look better through Mom's glasses.

just had to post this

While most were asleep at midnight Wednesday, two Lake Martin area students were beginning an 8-hour drive to the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, Va., to make a special delivery.

Auburn University seniors Cary Farrington of Dadeville and Ryan Hill of Alexander City were responsible for carrying a 4-foot by 8-foot sheet of plywood with up to 3,000 signatures, including interim president Ed Richardson.

The two seniors drove eight straight hours to Blacksburg to deliver and help put the sign up along with six or seven other signs in a makeshift memorial on the drill fields of Virginia Tech.

"Everyone there thought it was pretty cool," Farrington said. "They couldn't believe we drove all the way from Auburn."

There aren't any known immediate ties between Auburn and Virginia Tech, except for the fact the two universities' football teams met in the 2005 Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.

The sign, which reads "We stand with you in Prayer," was the first from another university to be erected in the memorial area of the drill fields, according to Farrington.

Farrington said he didn't talk to many students on campus, because there weren't that many on campus Wednesday morning.

"It was really surreal," Farrington said. "We didn't get to talk to a lot of the students except those in [the student government association]. But you can tell the general consensus is that it hasn't hit home just yet. They are still in shock."

A-Cow-Wah!

A-Cow-Wah!

Hannah has been saying "A-Cow-Wah"! for a couple months now. We thought by now it would have morphed into English, but has not thus far. We've made it the Chambers battle cry! You should try to use it should you ever be stressed... it's quite handy!

It was very cool to see how happy Hannah was this Easter. She is always Happy, but it is really neat for Daddy to see her light up on a holiday like this. Daddy has secret plans to hide eggs about 6 months from now. Easter in October!

Hannah got an encouraging word, and maybe a hint as to where the next egg was hidden.

Easter Papa did a good job of hiding eggs outside, but Hannah found them all.

Got it!

Got it!

An old Pro!

At this point in the day, Hannah was an old pro at hunting eggs. She was on a mission in the back yard. She zeroed in on an egg and darted right for it in this picture.

After Hannah's midday nap, Papa took her outside to find more eggs in the back yard.

Hannah is trying to figure out exactly how many jelly beans she can get in her mouth at one time.

Hannah found the egg behind and under this chair. Instead of just moving the chair likes she likes to do anyway, she decided to craw under it. In case you are wondering, her mouth is full of jelly beans. She got her first taste of Jelly Beans this Easter, and later she decided that would help her not sleep well.

Hannah found this bubble soap in her basket. She walked over to Momma and said, "Mess?" Momma agreed and we opened the bubbles later.

Found it, oh wait that is a lemon.

Hannah found the yellow egg in with the lemons, oh wait, no she didn't. That is a lemon.

Hannah gets into her basket

Hannah figured out that the big basket on the table was for her. It was odd, it took her a while to get her hands into that basket, however, if Daddy puts something on that table, like a beer or a remote control, it takes her no time to get her hands on it. Go figure.

Haircut, is it time?

Hannah has yet to get a haircut, but with this look, Momma might need to consider it.

You might be thinking, Wow Hannah is about to find the yellow egg in the lemons, but you would be wrong. Hannah looked into that bowl several times without spotting that egg.

It didn't take long...

It did not take Hannah long to start the hunt. Nor did it take her long to find those really easy eggs.

Hannah's big entrance

Hannah seemed more excited than normal to come down the stairs in the morning. At this point she did not realize the Easter Bunny had come to visit her, but she figured it out really quickly.
Management is forbidden from posting pictures of Hannah's mother taken in the morning. Management believes this is ridiculous, however since management has to live with Hannah's mother, a little Photoshop editing keeps a happy home.

Look in the lemons...

The Easter Bunny took it easy on Hannah this year, except for the egg in the lemons. The Easter Bunny needs to reconsider hiding eggs on the black leather couches, management does not feel that is a good idea.

Easter Bunny came and ate...

The Easter Bunny came and visited Hannah soon after she went to sleep. It must have been on the first stops for the Easter Bunny, because he devoured the lettuce and carrots Hannah left out for him.

Two fisting like a true party girl.

Hannah could not wait to dye all the eggs so she started two fisting, like a sorority girl at a fraternity party.

But she recovered quickly!

Hannah discovered she does not like the taste of egg shells.

Hannah really enjoyed dyeing eggs despite it being about 2 hours past her bedtime. She is awesome.
