The Royal Wedding

Yes, I realize I asked this in my last post, and yes, I only got to watch some of it, but wasn't the royal wedding lovely? It was like a fairytale wedding. Kate was beautiful!

Kate Middleton and Prince William.

Her train was two meters long!

Don't they make a lovely couple? :)

Isn't she beautiful?

Happy Easter everybody!

Okay, to start off with, this is part of a scene from a movie, a very old movie. This is only part of the scene, so let me explain. The guy who talks a lot with the big nose just made fun of someone's play. He made some other guys angry, and one of the people he made angry is the guy who you will see that has a fencing match with him. I'd like to see the rest of this movie some day.
Enjoy!



This is a song made by the "School House Rock." These songs have been around a LONG time!



During my fast I have been a very busy little beaver. I finished a bunch of my crafts and I made some sock bunnies!

We used these Easter eggs to stuff some plastic eggs for an Easter egg hunt!

These are two of my sock bunnies! Aren't they so cute?

This picture is of one of my sock bunnies sitting with some paska buns that my mom made! Paska is an Easter bread, and it is VERY good!

This is a hook-a-rug that I made. It's a cat, in case you couldn't tell.

This is a cross stitch that I made.

This is some paska bread. It is sooooo good!

Today my family is coming over and we're going to have an Easter egg hunt! We are also going to go to the park and play Bocce ball! Who here doesn't like Bocce ball? Who here knows what Bocce ball? ;)

THIS IS MY FIFTHIETH POST!!!

P.S. Who here likes my new design? Thanks, Marieanne, for doing it!

I'm Fasting...

You probably realize that Easter is coming up in two weeks. And, beginning tomorrow and ending on Easter Sunday, I will be fasting from blogging. I will still be checking my email, but will not be using the internet. Just wanted to let you know. My mom will be fasting from sweets. I would like to encourage you to fast from something too.

Oh, and Marieanne from Blizzard Blog Designs is making me a new blog design! I am very excited about that!
